FDSS: Faculty Position in Solar Physics at the University of Arizona

国际和平研究所建议帮助在亚利桑那大学行星科学系和月球与行星实验室(DPS/LPL)设立一个完全终身教职的教员职位，那里已经有一个从事理论日球层等离子体物理和高能粒子物理一般领域工作的研究小组。目标是将太阳物理学作为一门学术和研究学科整合到大学中。这一倡议将明确包括与国家太阳天文台工作人员(其中两人是共同调查人员)的密切合作和协作，以利用NSO已有的人员和设施。其目的是吸引最高素质的个别教员，使太阳物理学成为该大学充满活力和重要的组成部分，并造福于更广泛的太阳物理界。拟议增设的法律政策及法律政策研究部将把系的研究和教学扩展至新的范畴，同时巩固现有的强项。预计太阳物理学与日光层和行星科学的结合将与该大学的大气科学、地球科学和宇宙化学等领域产生协同效应。将太阳物理学加入亚利桑那大学的教育项目将产生直接影响。该大学世界级的研究和教学以及NSO的临近将吸引优秀的学生从事太阳物理方面的研究生工作。大量的本科生将被介绍给我们对太阳的了解现状。该大学将启动一项太阳物理暑期班、会议和推广计划，这将使该计划引起更广泛的公众和科学界的注意。该活动将设在文化多元的美国西南部，该大学将在那里接触到来自不同种族和文化的学生，同时鼓励他们将科学教育和研究作为一种职业。

The PI proposes to help establish a full tenure-track faculty position in solar physics in the Department of Planetary Sciences and the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (DPS/LPL) at the University of Arizona, where a research group working in the general areas of theoretical heliospheric plasma physics and energetic-particle physics already exists. The goal is to integrate solar physics as an academic and research discipline into the University. This initiative will explicitly include close cooperation and collaboration with the National Solar Observatory staff (two of whom are co-investigators), to take advantage of NSO personnel and facilities already in place. The intent is to attract an individual faculty member of the highest quality and to make solar physics a vibrant and important component of the University, as well as to benefit the broader solar physics community. The proposed addition to the DPS/LPL faculty will extend the research and teaching of the Department into new areas, while at the same time building on existing strengths. It is expected that the combination of solar physics with heliospheric and planetary science will produce synergies with areas such as atmospheric sciences, Earth sciences, and cosmochemistry at the University. The addition of solar physics to the educational program of the University of Arizona will have direct effects. The world-class research and teaching at the University and the proximity of the NSO will attract excellent students to do graduate work in solar physics. Significant numbers of undergraduate students will be introduced to the current state of our knowledge of the Sun. The University will initiate a program of summer schools, conferences, and outreach programs in solar physics, which will bring the program to the attention of the broader public and science community. The activity will be located in the culturally diverse Southwest of the United States, where the University will reach out to students in a wide variety of ethnic groups and cultures, while encouraging them to consider science education and research as a career.
