Description
The Department of Physics in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto invites applications for a full-time tenure stream position in the area of Space-based and Suborbital Experimental Atmospheric Physics. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2026.
Applicants must have earned a PhD degree in Physics or a related field by the time of appointment, or shortly thereafter, with a demonstrated record of excellence in both research in Experimental Atmospheric Physics and teaching in Physics.
We seek candidates with the ability to build a strong independent research program in remote sensing of aerosols, water vapour, clouds, pollutants and related atmospheric constituents using satellite and/or sub-orbital platforms. This position is envisioned as building institutional and national capacity for two related Canadian initiatives: First, Canada’s $200M investment in the Canadian Space Agency’s High-altitude Aerosols, Water Vapour and Clouds Mission (HAWC), which the University of Toronto co-leads along with three other universities and a consortium of eleven academic and three federal partners. Second, complementing HAWC is the Medium- to Long-Range Aircraft Platform for Environmental Research (MAPLE), for which the National Research Council of Canada recently received significant funding. While applicants are not required to have prior experience with these missions, we would encourage applicants to consider how they might engage in these exciting developments in Canada’s remote sensing activities. In addition, showing potential to build research and teaching linkages with other research groups in the Department of Physics will strengthen candidates’ applications (see successful candidate will be expected to pursue independent and innovative research, and to establish an outstanding, internationally competitive, and externally funded research program; to actively engage in undergraduate and graduate teaching; and to contribute to the enrichment of undergraduate and graduate programs.
Candidates must provide evidence of research excellence, indicative of a developing research program, as demonstrated by a record of publications top-ranked and field-relevant academic journals or forthcoming publications meeting high international standards, a forward-looking research statement, awards and accolades, and strong endorsements from referees.
Evidence of excellence in teaching will be demonstrated through accomplishments described in the teaching dossier, including a statement of teaching philosophy, sample course materials, and teaching evaluations or evidence of superior performance in teaching-related activities submitted with the application, along with strong letters of reference. Other teaching-related activities may include experience as a teaching assistant, experience in curriculum development, participation in delivering successful workshops or seminars, student mentorship, or publications and/or presentations related to pedagogical innovation.
