Candidates with research and teaching interests that complement those of the existing faculty are desired. Example areas of interest include, but are not limited to, sustainable solutions to environmental remediation of legacy and emerging contaminants, e.g., PFAS; fate and transport of contaminants; sustainable physico-chemical and biological treatment processes for environmental control; environmental microbiology; pathogen dynamics in contaminated systems; environmental biotechnology; and sustainability engineering.

The position is anticipated to be filled at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, but exceptional candidates will be given consideration at the full professor rank. The successful applicant will join a cadre of committed faculty (14 tenured and tenure track, 5 research and 3 teaching) who are engaged in high-impact education and funded research programs at a level of ~$9.8M per year. CEOE is home to the renown Davidson Laboratory and Center for Environmental Systems.

The successful applicant is expected to develop a strong externally funded, globally recognized research program in their discipline and through collaborative efforts. They should also be committed to excellence in both graduate and undergraduate education and be in a position to enhance the curriculum in their area of expertise.
