FDSS Track 1: Expansion and Integration of Space Physics at the University of Delaware

地球空间科学教师发展（FDSS）机会旨在将地球空间科学（包括太阳和空间物理以及空间天气研究）整合到美国高等教育机构的自然科学，工程或相关部门中，并刺激能够培养下一代地球空间科学领导者的本科或研究生课程或课程的发展。特拉华大学（UD）将在其物理和天文学系（DPA）的空间等离子体组中创建一个FDSS终身职位。FDSS将从事宇宙射线、太阳高能粒子、空间天气、等离子体物理、数值模拟、地面和航天器数据分析或相关主题的研究。新员工将教授空间物理课程，并参与DPA博士课程的研究生课程开发，并为工程博士课程和地球，海洋与环境学院的跨学科联系做出贡献。该项目将通过与UD ADVANCE伙伴关系、特拉华州空间赠款和特拉华州EPSCoR项目的协调，促进妇女和代表性不足群体的参与。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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. University of Delaware (UD) will create an FDSS tenure-track position in the space plasma group in their Department of Physics and Astronomy (DPA).The FDSS hire will engage in research on cosmic rays, solar energetic particles, space weather, plasma physics, numerical simulation, analysis of ground based and spacecraft data, or related topics. The new hire will teach space physics classes and participate in development of graduate courses for the PhD programs in DPA and contribute to cross disciplinary connections with the PhD programs in Engineering and in the College of Earth, Ocean and Environment. The project will foster participation of women and underrepresented groups through coordination with UD ADVANCE partnership, Delaware Space Grant, and Delaware EPSCoR 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.
