Position Information
Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit
Our primary mission is providing instruction of the highest quality in physics
and astronomy to undergraduate and graduate students at UNC-CH. Training in
physics is fundamental among the natural sciences because it provides
understanding of the forces governing the structure of matter, from subatomic
particles to the large-scale structure of the universe.
Our departmental instructional mission spans all segments of the student
community. Over 60% of all college graduates from UNC-CH have taken a course
in our department. Among them: undergraduate liberal arts majors who should
master the power of quantitative reasoning; undergraduates seeking a degree in
another of the natural sciences, who need physics as a foundation for their
advanced scientific training; the small number of undergraduates who major in
physics, to whom we provide broad and rigorous training. Our graduate
education and research advances frontiers of knowledge at the two extremes of
space and time, from the very small) the realm of particle physics) to the
very large (the realm of astronomy, while expanding the boundaries of
knowledge in the many subfields spanning length scales between. Forefront
physics and astronomy research requires access to well-equipped laboratories
and extensive computing capabilities; it also must be supported by
comprehensive and accessible library collections. Again, in research at this
advanced level, the bridging aspect of physics provides basic
interdisciplinary insight for many other sciences.
This instructional mission is supported by a strong managerial,
administrative, and technical staff. Duties of these employees range from
budget planning and management for the numerous research grants held by
faculty in the department to maintaining course and student records. These
activities are usually accomplished in a standard 40- hour week schedule.
