JHU Physics & Astronomy Faculty Position in Astrophysics

The William H. Miller III Department of Physics and Astronomy of the Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a faculty appointment in astrophysics.  We invite applications from theorists, observers, and instrumentalists across all areas of astrophysics.  This is an open-rank search, and candidates will be considered for appointment both at the assistant professor level and at higher ranks, as appropriate. The successful candidates will be expected to maintain an active research program and to teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
