One of the country’s most selective public research universities, Clemson University serves a uniquely driven and highly accomplished student body.

Ranked consistently as one of the best national public university by U.S.News & World Report, Clemson is a science- and engineering-oriented college dedicated to teaching, research and service. Founded in 1889, we remain committed both to world-class research and a high quality of life. In fact, 91 percent of our seniors say they’d pick Clemson again if they had it to do over.

Clemson’s retention and graduation rates rank among the highest in the country for public universities. We’ve been named among the best values by Kiplinger magazine in 2013, and SmartMoney in 2012 ranked us No. 7 in student return on investment.

Our beautiful college campus sits on 1,400 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, along the shores of Hartwell Lake. But we also have research facilities and economic development hubs throughout the state of South Carolina — in Greenville, Greenwood, Columbia and Charleston.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Clemson University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the field of Space Physics, to start in 2025. The position is initially funded by the NSF Faculty Development in geoSpace Science (FDSS) program.

The Department is seeking applications from individuals with expertise in Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Atmosphere coupling, from either modeling or data analysis/experiment. The successful candidate is expected to complement the atmosphere-ionosphere expertise of the existing space physics group by adding magnetosphere-ionosphere expertise and to educate the next generation of leaders in the space sciences.

Duties will include establishing vigorous, externally funded research programs with a sufficient level of student advising; teaching effectively in physics courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels; developing new course offerings related to space weather; and contributing to outreach and service.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy is a collegial, collaborative environment committed to broadening participation in Physics & Astronomy. The Department’s faculty teach and do research in a broad range of sub-fields, including astrophysics, atomic physics, atmospheric and space physics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, and foundational quantum mechanics. The Department offers a BS and BA in Physics, a PhD and MS in Physics, and a PhD and a MS in Medical Biophysics.
