The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) invites applications from highly qualified individuals for at least two permanent-track research astronomer openings, with potentially as many as four openings depending on funding availability and candidate qualifications. These positions are analogous to a tenure-track assistant professorship. To leverage next-generation telescopes and research opportunities, the SAO priority areas for hiring this year are in time-domain astronomy, extrasolar planets, Earth observing, and instrumentation development for new ground and space facilities.

    The Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the National Taiwan University (DAS-NTU) is looking to hire one to two faculty members at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor levels, starting in August 2025. The preferred expertise lies in areas such as severe weather (e.g., typhoon and mesoscale convection), East Asian monsoon, extreme weather and climate, atmospheric physics and chemistry, observation/instrument/remote sensing, or emerging critical topics in atmospheric sciences. The deadline for application is December 5, 2024.
