About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation's Geospace Section of the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences is offering grants to create new tenure-track faculty positions in the space sciences. The aim is to integrate research topics in solar and space physics into basic physics, astronomy, electrical engineering, geoscience, meteorology, computer science, and applied mathematics programs, as well as develop space physics graduate programs. Applicants must establish partnerships within the university community. The evaluation criteria prioritize the integration of space science research into university curricula and the development of the next generation of space science leaders.
The grant awards are not specified, but previous awards under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) have ranged from $79,139 to $4,893,936 and typically span 1-5 year project periods. The work is expected to be conducted at academic facilities, field sites, scientific observatories, and research vessels across the United States, with opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration.
Synopsis
The Geospace Section of the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, to ensure the health and vitality of solar and space sciences on university teaching faculties, is pleased to offer awards for the creation of new tenure-track faculty positions within the intellectual disciplines which comprise the space sciences. The aim of these awards is to integrate research topics in solar and space physics into basic physics, astronomy, electrical engineering, geoscience, meteorology, computer science, and applied mathematics programs, and to develop space physics graduate programs capable of training the next generation of leaders in this field. Space Science is interdisciplinary in nature and the Faculty Development in the Space Sciences awardees will be expected to establish partnerships within the university community.
