 * // Faculty Position Opening: Tenure-Track Faculty - Assistant Professor - Civil and Environmental Engineering //**

**Description:** As part of a multi-year effort to reach 100% sustainability in energy, water, and resources across campus specifically and urban systems broadly, the Sustainability University seeks faculty candidates for tenure-track appointments at the assistant professor level in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering across the broad area of Sustainable Environmental Systems. The University’s interdisciplinary programs spanning the College of Engineering, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Architecture, and College of Business and Management aim to invest $1 billion over the next several years to state-of-the-art facilities, multidisciplinary cluster hiring, and collaborative research opportunities devoted to advancing healthy and sustainable environmental systems. Interested candidates may be considered for joint appointments in the Department of Environmental, Marine, and Geosciences, the Department of Chemical Engineering, or other university departments commensurate with their areas of expertise.

Areas of specific interest within Sustainable Environmental Systems include:

Water quality engineering including water pollution control technologies, new materials for water and wastewater treatment, advances in energy or nutrient recovery from wastewater, fate and transport of pollutants in ecosystems, emerging contaminants of concern, new sensing technologies, environmental biotechnogies and bioremediation, pollutant impacts on microbial communities and genomes, and pollutant and microbial impacts on human health.

Water resources engineering including hydrology and hydraulic systems, improved prediction capabilities of extreme events, land-atmospheric interactions, computational climate modeling, data-intensive climate sciences, environmental fluid mechanics, coastal or riverine hydrodynamics, remote sensing, and global biogeochemical cycling.

Air quality engineering including pollutant emission control technologies, fate of aerosols and chemical pollutants, indoor air quality, air quality challenges in developing countries, fate and transport of pollutants in the atmosphere, pollutant emission impacts on global climate change.

Resilient and sustainable infrastructure systems including interdependent critical infrastructures and lifeline resilience, design of complex environmental engineering infrastructure considering global climate challenges, multi-hazard risk assessment of environmental infrastructure systems, optimization modeling, life cycle assessments of infrastructure, and sustainable energy solutions.

The successful candidate is expected to possess demonstrated depth in their research discipline to be able to obtain tenure in their home departments, as well as potential for breadth for collaborative work across multiple academic programs and research centers. Candidates with expertise in laboratory experimentation, modeling and simulation, field case studies, instrumentation and sensor development, or epidemiology and human health studies are encouraged to apply.

**Qualifications:** A doctorate degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, or related field is required by the start date and demonstrated excellence in research, teaching, and service. Postdoctoral experience in an academic university, national laboratory, or industry is strongly desired but not required. Candidates must have a record of strong and impactful research publications, the ability to secure funding for their research group, and an engagement to effective and innovative teaching.

**How to Apply:** Applications should be submitted via email and include a cover letter, research statement, teaching statement, curriculum vitae, a list of equipment and major supplies, and three power point slides describing future research plans.
