Some are hired by the the largest gold mines and oil companies in Alaska. The Physics Department at UAF is quite large, and the observatory right on top of the GI is located quite high overlooking the interior, several hundred feet above Fairbanks.
Quit trying to argue with logic. It's too cold in Fairbanks in the winter and the city is smaller than Anchorage, therefore there is no reason to have a university there.
