FDSS: Augmentation of Space Sciences Faculty at Dartmouth

达特茅斯学院将招聘一名实验空间科学领域的终身教授助理教授。尽管新教员将被分配到物理和天文学系，并在工程学院兼职，但工程学院将提供许多关键资源，包括实验室空间和技术支持，使该项目成为真正的跨学科努力。新任教职人员将领导一个创新的本科生研究项目，该项目以达特茅斯过去六年运行的 DartSat 学生卫星设计试点项目为蓝本，但没有专门的教职人员指导。新的教员将使达特茅斯填补其空间科学课程的关键空白，并增加现有课程的频率。达特茅斯在空间科学方面的公共宣传工作目前包括通过当地科学博物馆进行 K-12 教师培训，该项目将通过发展大学预科学生项目得到加强，该项目将从本科生研究项目中发展出来。新教员将开发一个独立的外部资助研究项目，该项目将维持实验空间科学方面的研究生和本科生培训，解决国家科学院报告中指出的下一代空间科学家实践培训机会短缺的问题。该研究计划将涉及与其他学术研究机构和行业的合作，并利用国家科学基金会和其他政府机构的相关理论、地面和天基基础设施投资。利用两个院系的资源在达特茅斯实验空间科学领域设立一个终身职位，将确保达特茅斯过去二十年开发的跨学科空间科学项目能够满足国家对空间科学人力的需求。

Dartmouth College will recruit a tenure-track assistant professor in the area of experimental space science. Although the new faculty member will be assigned to the Physics and Astronomy Department with an adjunct appointment in the Engineering School, the Engineering School will contribute many key resources, including laboratory space and technical support, making this project a truly interdisciplinary effort. The new faculty member will lead an innovative undergraduate research program, modeled after the pilot DartSat student satellite design project which has been run at Dartmouth over the past six years, but without benefit of dedicated faculty guidance. The new faculty member will allow Dartmouth to fill critical gaps in its space science curriculum, as well as increase the frequency of existing course offerings. Public outreach efforts at Dartmouth in space sciences, currently involving K-12 teacher training through the local science museum, will be strengthened by development of a pre-college student program which will grow out of the undergraduate research program. The new faculty member will develop an independent externally-funded research program, which will sustain graduate and undergraduate student training in experimental space sciences, addressing the shortfall of opportunities for hands-on training of the next generation of space scientists that has been identified in National Academy reports. This research program will involve partnerships with other academic and research institutions and industry, and take advantage of related theory, ground- and space-based infrastructure investments by NSF and other government agencies. Creating a tenure line position in experimental space sciences at Dartmouth with resources from two departments will ensure that the interdisciplinary space science program developed at Dartmouth over the past two decades will sustain national needs in space sciences manpower.
