Job Advertisement: Closing Date 18th March 2016 The Instituto de Astrofisica de Atacama (IAA) at the Universidad De Atacama (UDA) in Copiapo (Chile) invites applications for two faculty positions to join the IAA team. The successful candidates will join a group of five faculty working on a broad range of research topics and will have access to the Chilean Time in a broad array of facilities, including ALMA, VLT, Gemini, Magellan, LSST, GMT and the E-ELT. We are particularly interested in candidates with strong experience in one or more of these fields: - Origin, structure and evolution of planets, satellites, and minor bodies in the Solar System; - Extrasolar Planets; - Formation, structure and evolution of stars; - Milky Way: stellar populations, star clusters, variable stars, galactic structure; - Terrestrial Mars analogs; - Astrobiology. The positions carry teaching duties in astronomy at the undergraduate level, with a load of 6h per week. The working language is English. While knowledge of Spanish is not required (teaching can be done in English), the successful candidates are expected to teach in Spanish within two years. The appointment at UDA will be for three years, with a first probation year, and the position is further extendable subject to performance. To receive full consideration, applications must be sent by Friday 18 of March 2016, although the position will remain open until filled. Start date is expected to be October 2016.
