FDSS Track 2: Building a Space Physics Program at the University of Texas at Arlington

在地球空间科学（FDSS）的机会教师发展的目的是整合地球空间科学-包括太阳和空间物理学和空间天气研究-到自然科学，工程或相关部门在美国高等教育机构，并刺激本科或研究生课程或课程的发展，能够培养下一代地球空间科学的领导者。德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校（UTA），一个西班牙裔服务机构，提议创建一个与高层大气物理学，磁层物理学和空间天气研究相关的FDSS终身职位。FDSS将与UTA空间物理和数据科学中心以及更广泛的地球空间社区合作。他们将帮助开发一个新的研究生课程，定期提供本科空间科学课程，为学士学位创建一个新的空间物理轨道。物理学学位，并为研究生和本科生STEM学生创造更多的研究机会。该奖项反映了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。

The Faculty Development in geoSpace Science (FDSS) opportunity aims to integrate geospace science--to includes solar and space physics and space weather research--into natural sciences, engineering or related departments at U.S. institutions of higher education and stimulate the development of undergraduate or graduate programs or curricula capable of training the next generation of leaders in geospace science. The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), a Hispanic Serving Institution, proposes to create an FDSS tenure-track position related to Aeronomy, Magnetospheric Physics, and Space Weather Research. The FDSS hire will collaborate with the UTA Center of Space Physics and Data Sciences and the broader geospace community. They will help develop a new graduate course, offer an undergraduate space science course on a regular basis, create a new space physics track for a B.S. degree in physics, and generate more research opportunities for both graduate and undergraduate STEM students. They will leverage campus resources such as a full-dome planetarium to create outreach and public education projects.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.
