The goal of this 5-year Faculty Development in the Space Sciences (FDSS) project is to enable a new faculty hire in the space sciences at Arizona State University (ASU). ASU is an ideal university in which to invest in geospace sciences and space physics due to its large and diverse student population and its emphasis on interdisciplinary research. Building on ASU's foundation and leadership in providing inclusive education to all qualified students, and capitalizing on the mathematical, statistical, astrophysics, geoscience, and engineering research strengths already present, the new faculty hire will implement an interdisciplinary space physics program. The new appointee is expected to have expertise in space plasma and ionospheric dynamics, the physics of the solar wind, and/or the general heliophysics environment and its response to solar events. The hire will be selected on strong research performance, commitment to teaching and mentoring, and the potential for collaboration, and identified through a broad search. Theorists, numerical modelers, instrument builders, and observers would all be considered. This 5-year FDSS project will enable the new faculty hire at ASU, in collaboration with the existing faculty there, to drive advances in space physics research and foster a steady output of PhD graduates capable of becoming future leaders. The new courses and curriculum to be developed by the new faculty will reach ASU's diverse student community, which is reflective of the future U.S. population, helping to improve representation of underserved groups in STEM. ASU has a strong commitment to serve students from non-traditional backgrounds (returning students, first generation students, and veteran students). The presence of a strong space physics emphasis at ASU will --- in addition to training a new generation space physics leaders --- enable the institution to further engage the public. The new faculty hire will incorporate space physics into existing 3-D theater shows at ASU and add a new exhibit to their free public gallery. Increasing ASU's capacity to reach K-12 students with engaging content will strengthen the first-generation student pipeline. At the undergraduate level, through mentoring programs such as Sundial, ASU has significantly increased retention for STEM majors (especially for first-generation students). The new faculty hire will provide an opportunity to increase underrepresented groups in the faculty. The research and EPO agenda of this 5-year FDSS project supports the Strategic Goals of the AGS Division in discovery, learning, diversity, and interdisciplinary research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个为期5年的空间科学教师发展（FDSS）项目的目标是使亚利桑那州州立大学（ASU）的空间科学的新教师招聘。 亚利桑那州立大学是一个理想的大学，在其中投资于地球空间科学和空间物理由于其庞大而多样化的学生群体和跨学科研究的重点。 在亚利桑那州立大学为所有合格学生提供包容性教育的基础和领导地位的基础上，并利用现有的数学、统计、天体物理学、地球科学和工程研究优势，新聘用的教师将实施跨学科的空间物理项目。 新任命者应具备空间等离子体和电离层动力学、太阳风物理学和（或）一般太阳物理学环境及其对太阳活动的反应方面的专门知识。 招聘将根据强大的研究表现，对教学和指导的承诺以及合作的潜力进行选择，并通过广泛的搜索确定。 理论家、数值建模者、仪器制造者和观察者都将被考虑。这个为期5年的FDSS项目将使ASU的新教师与现有教师合作，推动空间物理研究的进步，并培养能够成为未来领导者的博士毕业生的稳定产出。 由新教师开发的新课程和课程将覆盖亚利桑那州立大学多元化的学生社区，这反映了未来的美国人口，有助于提高STEM中服务不足群体的代表性。 亚利桑那州立大学有一个坚定的承诺，为来自非传统背景的学生（返回学生，第一代学生，和老学生）。 在亚利桑那州立大学的空间物理重点的存在将---除了培训新一代空间物理领导人---使该机构能够进一步参与公众。 新的教职员工将把空间物理学纳入亚利桑那州立大学现有的3D戏剧表演，并在他们的免费公共画廊增加一个新的展览。 增加ASU的能力，达到K-12学生与引人入胜的内容将加强第一代学生的管道。 在本科阶段，通过指导计划，如日晷，亚利桑那州立大学已显着增加保留STEM专业（特别是第一代学生）。 新的教师招聘将提供一个机会来增加教师中代表性不足的群体。 这个为期5年的FDSS项目的研究和EPO议程支持AGS部门在发现、学习、多样性和跨学科研究方面的战略目标。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
