Tenure-track faculty Positions, Department of Astronomy, Shanghai Jiao Tong University

The department of astronomy (DoA) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) invites applications for multiple tenure-track positions, open to all frontiers of astronomy and astrophysics, from exoplanets to cosmology, and from theoretical astrophysics to observational astronomy. Existing research areas at DoA include observational/numerical/ theoretical cosmology, galaxy formation, galactic dynamics and stellar evolution. DoA is a full institutional member of DESI, and leads the Chinese consortium of PFS and CSST cosmology survey. DoA is also eager to expand into other frontiers of astronomy including exoplanets, time-domain astronomy, observations and instruments. Together with the astronomy & astrophysics division of the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) at SJTU, we are building the 4m JUST telescope. Observers and theorists are eagerly welcome to join this endeavor. More information can be found at http://astro.sjtu.edu.cn/en. The positions are open to researchers of all nationalities, and will provide internationally competitive salary, housing subsidy, and start-up funds. The nominal start date is September 2024, but can be flexible.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae and a brief research summary, and arrange 3 reference letters to be directly sent to https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/26603 . Applications will be considered until the positions are filled. But for prompt consideration, please send all the material by Dec. 15, 2023. Note that DoA (this search) is coordinating with the ongoing faculty search at the TDLI astronomy division. Applicants to DoA will be automatically considered for the TDLI astronomy positions and vice versa.
