Sounding rocket C-REX2 launched December 1st from Andoya Research Range, Norway. Grad student Magda Moses from the 317 lab, and UAF/GI grad student Matt Blandin, are in the field for this. First reports are excellent science conditions and instrument performance. The mission studies the Earth's auroral cusp. (photo - Jason Ahrns)

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Dartmouth College invites applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professorship in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. We are seeking applicants in the general area of quantum many-body and strongly correlated systems, with special emphasis on the growing interface between condensed-matter, atomic physics, and quantum information science, and on computational many-body techniques. Review of applications will begin December 1, 2021, and continue until the position is filled. Applicants should submit their materials via Interfolio at http://apply.interfolio.com/92966.
I study the plasma physics of the northern lights using NASA sounding rockets in the context of ground-based observations. My work focuses on developing distributed sets of observations so that we can learn how the electric and magnetic fields controlling the aurora work. (Photo by Robert Gill)
