Qualifications
We are seeking exceptional candidates in Water and Soil Remediation at the Associate/Full Professor and Assistant Professor levels with interdisciplinary interests, who will develop extramurally funded research programs examining pollutants and their removal or degradation in natural or engineered systems. The research of these candidates would connect the study of the environment to human and ecosystem health, with potential application to the unique challenges and vulnerabilities in coastal systems. A PhD in a related field is required, and post-doctoral training or independent research experience is preferred. Senior faculty applicants must have an established record of scholarship and research funding. All faculty are expected to contribute to a welcoming campus environment that embraces diversity. We seek interdisciplinary researchers who are attentive to both high-impact applications and cutting-edge technology and are committed to establishing robust research programs. The hires may join departments such as Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Geological Sciences, Plant and Soil Sciences, or the School of Marine Science and Policy. To foster collaborations across academic units, faculty candidates are encouraged to request interdepartmental joint appointments. The hires would pursue research in development and deployment of remediation technologies and/or evaluation of remediation effectiveness including, but not limited to: phyto- or bio-remediation using microbiology, genomics, or bioinformatics; novel materials for high-efficiency separation or recovery; field-based design and evaluation; and contaminant fate and transport investigation and modeling.
