Water-environment engineering position
We are seeking candidates with teaching and research interests in emerging areas and/or topics of significant societal importance as related to civil engineering and the built environment, including but not limited to climate change and water/wastewater systems resiliency. Candidates with interest in for example water quality, water supply, floods/droughts, waste treatment, contaminant fate and transport, environmental applications of microbiology and biotechnology, resource reclamation/recovery, bio-based energy production systems, water-environment aspects of mining, groundwater systems or other areas with civil engineering importance to society are encouraged to apply.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with department faculty with expertise in wastewater treatment and resource recovery, and ecohydraulics. Water-related research across UI is strong, and UI offers a unique interdisciplinary Water Resources Graduate Program in which several departments participate. The successful candidate will have ample opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.

Hydraulics position
We are seeking candidates with interest in emerging areas and/or hydraulics topics of significant societal importance such as green hydropower, hydraulics of rivers and/or lentic systems, hydraulic structures, or some aspect of hydraulics that combines laboratory and computational approaches. Candidates will be encouraged to collaborate with the UI Center for Ecohydraulics (https://www.uidaho.edu/engr/research/cer), a graduate education and research program dedicated to studying links between physical processes and aquatic ecosystems. The candidate will also have the opportunity to collaborate on the recently funded NSF EPSCoR project titled Idaho Community-engaged Resilience for Energy-Water Systems (I-CREWS, https://www.idahoepscor.org/i-crews), which may be a source of start-up and/or continued funding for the right candidate.
The CEE department is in midst of a $7M fundraising campaign to renovate laboratory spaces and increase student support, and has secured donations to begin transforming the existing hydraulics laboratory into the Ardurra Water Lab. This laboratory space is approximately 3,500 sq ft, with integrated sump, pump and pipe network; flumes (including a new Armfield Flow Visualization Tank); and various educational hydraulics equipment. We are particularly interested in candidates with a vision to grow this laboratory into an outstanding modern teaching and research facility.
