Three faculty positions at Universidad Andrés Bello (Chile)

The Astrophysics Institute at Universidad Andrés Bello (UNAB) in Santiago, Chile, invites applications for three faculty positions in Astrophysics at the assistant, associate or full professor level, depending on the experience of the candidate. The requirements are a Ph.D. degree in Astronomy/Astrophysics or a related field, and a commitment to excellence in research and teaching. Successful candidates are expected to teach and supervise students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The candidates should be able to teach in Spanish within approximately one year. The Astrophysics Institute at UNAB currently includes 12 faculty, 4 postdocs, 22 Ph.D. students, plus several dozen students at the undergraduate level. 

Successful applicants will have competitive access to the 10% observing  time guaranteed to Chilean institutions on all international observatories based in the country (ESO, ALMA, LCO, CTIO, Gemini, Vera Rubin, CTA-South etc.). In addition, the group hosts a cluster for numerical simulations and high-volume data reduction. UNAB aims to maintain a gender balance at all levels and we therefore encourage qualified women to apply.

Complete applications must consist of a single PDF file containing a cover letter, a curriculum vitae and short statements of research interests (up to three pages) and teaching philosophy (one page).

The candidate should also arrange for three reference letters. All inquiries, as well as applications and reference letters, should be sent to Prof. Timo Anguita at [email protected]. Applications received by September 30th, 2022 will obtain full consideration.
