Water Cluster Hire - Three Faculty Positions to Address Water Sustainability Challenges
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and the Utah Water Research Laboratory at Utah State University (USU) invite applications for a cluster hire of three positions at the Assistant Tenure Track or Associate Professor levels in the broad topical areas of water resources engineering, environmental engineering, and/or hydraulic engineering. We seek candidates whose convergent research will generate data-driven, collaborative, sustainable, and holistic solutions to water quantity, quality, and management problems in the face of growing population, aging infrastructure, changing climate, and changing societal values.
Successful candidates must articulate a vision for and show how their research and teaching will: 1) yield data-driven, collaborative, sustainable, and holistic solutions; 2) build on existing strengths throughout USU in hydrology, hydraulics, hydroinformatics, water resources management, irrigation, water quality, and environmental engineering; and 3) improve CEE and USU capabilities to solve interdisciplinary water problems now and in the future. To promote transdisciplinary and convergent research, we encourage team applications from groups of up to three candidates, which may include dual career partners. A review of applications will begin in early November and will continue until all three positions are filled.
See detailed description and information about applying or contact the search committee chair Dr. Jeff Horsburgh (jeff.horsburgh@usu.edu) with specific questions.
Assistant or Associate Professor
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Utah State University invites applications from candidates for a tenure-track faculty position in Geotechnical Engineering. The successful candidate's expertise is expected to be complementary to the research and teaching activities of the geotechnical engineering faculty in the CEE Department. In addition, the successful candidate will have the ability to perform interdisciplinary research with other research groups including those within USU's CEE Department (Transportation, Structural, Hydraulic Structures, Environmental, Irrigation, and Water Resources). As we strive to hire the best candidate, we will consider candidates with any research interest. However, we have identified the following research and teaching topics as areas for potential collaboration in the CEE Department: deep foundations, soil-structure interaction, surface erosion and local scour. It is expected that this position will be filled at the Assistant Professor level; however outstanding candidates will also be considered at the Associate Professor rank. Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2019. This is an academic-year (9 month) appointment with an anticipated start date of August 1st, 2020.
