To reinforce and extend our strategic partnership, we are seeking to recruit a BRIDGE Fellow in Water Sciences between the University of Birmingham (UoB) and University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC). The distinctive Birmingham-Illinois BRIDGE Fellowship programme offers a 5-year Fellowship to contribute to the research and academic excellence of both institutions. At the end of the Fellowship, the Fellow will be offered an academic appointment at the University of Birmingham, at the Assistant Professor level or higher, subject to meeting normal expectations for appointment to such a post.
We intend to recruit an internationally outstanding BRIDGE Fellow at the interface between water sciences and emerging pollutants (such as engineered nanoparticles, environmental plastics, pharmaceuticals and personal care products). We are interested in applicants that can provide expertise that links: pollutant sources, fate and transport of emerging pollutants; technical/non-technical solutions; and education/outreach to potential stakeholders.
We are keen to employ an interdisciplinary water researcher with skills in areas such as large data analysis, experimental design, numerical model development, method integration and data fusion, risk-impact analysis, natural resources management, and water treatment that complement existing core research strengths at UoB and UIUC. This BRIDGE Fellow will leverage unique expertise, experimental, analytical and modelling capacities at UoB and UIUC, including the EcoLaboratory artificial river facilities (UoB), Ven Te Chow Hydrosystems Laboratory (UIUC), the EcoHydraulics and EcoMorphodynamics Laboratory (UIUC), the Nanoparticle and Daphnia laboratories (UoB), Illinois Sustainable Technology Center Advanced Analytical Laboratory (UIUC) and supercomputing facilities at both institutions (BlueBear and BlueWaters).
The Fellow will be expected to develop and lead a collaborative research programme that enhances the partnership between the two universities and builds on their strengths in these areas.
UoB and UIUC are committed to excellence in education. Fellows must demonstrate their aptitude to deliver inspiring research-intensive teaching and learning at all levels.
For Informal enquiries, please contact Professor David M. Hannah d.m.hannah@bham.ac.uk or Professor Jim Best jimbest@illinois.edu
Closing date: 6th February 2022
