The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University seeks applicants for tenure-track/tenured faculty positions in environmental engineering. A successful candidate will have leadership potential and expertise in environmental process engineering to complement the existing environmental engineering group, which aims to transform science, technology and education in environmental engineering.
The School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, one of the six Fulton Schools, seeks to fill two positions. One position will have an emphasis on the food/water/energy nexus with a focus on sustainable food supply for the next century. The second position will have an emphasis on environmental geohydrology and treatment. For either position, expertise could potentially include, but is not limited to, food systems engineering, novel fertilizers, food pollution/safety, nutrient recovery, environmental microbiology/biotechnology, nanoscale engineering applied to environmental treatment systems, novel separations engineering, mathematical modeling of processes or environmental systems, groundwater treatment and remediation, groundwater recharge and the development of sensors or ecotoxicology methods.
The Environmental Engineering program currently participates in five research centers, including the Swette Center for Environmental Biotechnology, the Center for Environmental Security, the NSF Water and Environmental Technology Center and NSF-sponsored Engineering Research Centers in Nanoenabled Water Treatment and Bio-inspired and Bio-mediated Geotechnics. Environmental engineering faculty are housed in state-of-the-art facilities, particularly the Biodesign Institute and the Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building 4. Environmental engineering faculty also interact with the School of Sustainability, the Global Institute of Sustainability and the other five Fulton Schools, especially the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy.
Required qualifications:
Doctoral degree in civil, environmental, chemical or agricultural engineering or a related field
Demonstrated evidence of research capability and commitment to teaching excellence as appropriate to the candidate’s rank
Desired qualifications:
Research interests that address emerging transdisciplinary challenges in the field
Demonstrated commitment to a collaborative, transdisciplinary approach to research and teaching
The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in environmental engineering and science, develop an internationally recognized and externally funded research program, adopt innovative educational practices in graduate and undergraduate instruction, advise students and undertake service activities.
Appointment will be at the assistant, associate, or full professor rank, commensurate with the candidate’s experience and accomplishments, beginning August 2017 or sooner.
