This is your opportunity to meet with women from all areas of science and all career paths and levels, including nationally-known scientists and policymakers, in an informal setting. This event has become extremely popular and we look forward to another exciting afternoon. Come meet members of different organizations with similar goals, learn what they are doing to achieve success in their own careers. If you would like to attend this luncheon, please reserve your space by contacting Maggie Toscano at as soon as possible. We seek a scientist with an active research program that centers on applying modern computational techniques to the dynamics of plasma in the space near the Earth.
Expertise is required in plasma physics as well as programming and applied mathematics.
The chosen individual will be expected to teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and will have specific responsibility for training graduate students in scientific programming and numerical analysis, both in a classroom setting and through advice on research projects. The appointment will be within the new Department of Physics and Astronomy, which is being formed from the merger of Rice's Space Physics and Astronomy Department with its Physics Department. The successful candidate will be expected to collaborate with existing Rice research programs in space plasma physics, and opportunities also exist for collaborations with Rice's research programs in physics, astronomy, and computational science. To receive full consideration, application materials should reach Rice by February 29, 2000. Minority and women candidates are especially encouraged to apply.
