The University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) in Beijing invites applications for tenure-track and senior faculty positions in all areas of astronomy, astrophysics & space science.
Fifteen faculty positions have been opened within the ambitious new UCAS School of Astronomy & Space Science, with internationally competitive salary and funding; given suitable candidates we intend to fill several of those positions this year. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is providing UCAS with substantial support to establish itself rapidly as a world-leading university. UCAS already has highly selective undergraduate admissions. The School also enjoys the advantages of being closely associated with the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC).
Tenure-track faculty applicants are requested to provide a CV & list of publications, along with descriptions of their prior research and teaching experience. These should be accompanied by a clear plan for their future research, and sent in a single pdf file to:
[log in to unmask]
(to which address informal questions may also be sent). Candidates should also arrange for at least three confidential letters of recommendation to be sent to this address. Applications which arrive by 15th January 2017 will receive full consideration.
Potential senior faculty appointments are invited to first informally contact Professors Jifeng Liu ( [log in to unmask] ) or Stephen Justham ( [log in to unmask] ). Enquiries will be treated confidentially.
We especially encourage interest from individuals who are enthusiastic about inspiring and educating outstanding students, regardless of their gender or cultural background.
