Assistant Professor

The Department of Astronomy at Boston University seeks applications for a tenure track Assistant Professor position to begin on July 1, 2023. This position is one of a number of positions that will be associated with a new Cosmology Initiative involving the Department of Astronomy and the Department of Physics. Searches to fill the first two positions are being carried out in AY22/23, and a search to fill a third position in AY23/24 is anticipated.   For this position we encourage applications from candidates with expertise in cosmological astrophysics, including development of new instruments and/or state-of-the-art data science techniques. The successful candidate will be an early-career scientist who will lead robust research programs and participate fully in the teaching missions at the introductory, majors, and graduate levels in the Astronomy Department. Minimum qualifications include a PhD in Astronomy, Physics, or related field, with postdoctoral experience expected.
