The William H. Miller III Department of Physics and Astronomy of the Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a faculty appointment as Assistant Professor in Astronomy and Astrophysics. We seek candidates across all areas of astrophysics who will lead ambitious, high-impact research programs in observations, theory, computation, and/or instrumentation, and who will help shape the intellectual life of the department and the university. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated commitment to excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching, advising, and mentorship. 

It is an exciting time to join our department, as it is in the midst of a major expansion, with new faculty positions and endowed prize postdoctoral and graduate fellowships. Johns Hopkins University is a major center for astrophysics. It is a partner in the Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, it leads the CLASS cosmic microwave background experiment, and it has a share in Magellan telescopes. The department has close ties with the Space Telescope Science Institute located on our campus, as well as with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
