The National Science Foundation's Geospace Section of the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences is offering funding for the creation of new tenure-track faculty positions within the disciplines that comprise the AGS Geospace programs. The Faculty Development in geoSpace Science (FDSS) grant aims to integrate topics in geospace science, including solar and space physics and space weather research, into natural sciences or engineering or related departments at U.S. institutions of higher education. The objective is to stimulate the development of undergraduate or graduate programs or curricula capable of training the next generation of leaders in geospace science. Applicants will be evaluated on their ability to establish partnerships within multiple parts of the institution and demonstrate a commitment to growing diversity in the geospace science workforce.

The FDSS grant will provide up to $1,500,000 to support the salary, benefits, and training of the newly recruited tenure-track faculty member for a duration of up to five years. This solicitation offers a track for all qualified U.S. institutions of higher education, as well as a separate track for proposal submissions from minority-serving institutions and emerging research institutions.
