The Faculty Development in geoSpace Science (FDSS) opportunity aims to integrate geospace science--to includes solar and space physics and space weather research--into natural sciences, engineering or related departments at U.S. institutions of higher education and stimulate the development of undergraduate or graduate programs or curricula capable of training the next generation of leaders in geospace science. Bates College is a private, undergraduate-only, liberal arts college, and an Emerging Research Institution (ERI) in Maine, an EPSCoR state. It will create an FDSS tenure-track position focused on solar physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.The institution will conduct an equitable nationwide search for diverse candidates. The Bates FDSS hire will build a research group in solar magnetism (laboratory, observational, or computational) and develop new introductory and advanced level undergraduate courses related to solar physics. They will also introduce solar physics topics (including auroras, regularly visible in Maine) into Bates’ outreach efforts, organize a lecture series with external speakers, and host a geospace symposium for students and researchers from three ERIs in the state. The FDSS candidate will have access to campus resources for broadening participation in STEM, pedagogical training, and mentorship on grant writing and award administration to ensure their success to tenure and beyond.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

地球空间科学教师发展 (FDSS) 机会旨在将地球空间科学（包括太阳和空间物理学以及空间天气研究）整合到美国高等教育机构的自然科学、工程或相关部门，并刺激本科生或贝茨学院是一所私立的、仅限本科生的文理学院，也是 EPSCoR 州缅因州的一个新兴研究机构 (ERI)。 FDSS 物理和天文学系的终身教授职位专注于太阳物理学。该机构将在全国范围内公平地寻找不同的候选人，贝茨 FDSS 的聘用人员将建立一个太阳磁学（实验室、观测或计算）研究小组。他们还将开发与太阳物理学相关的新入门级和高级本科课程（包括缅因州经常可见的极光），组织外部演讲者系列讲座，并举办地球空间研讨会。来自该州三个 ERI 的学生和研究人员将能够获得校园资源，以扩大对 STEM 的参与、教学培训以及拨款写作和奖项管理方面的指导，以确保他们成功获得终身教职及晋升。该奖项是 NSF 的法定奖项。使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
