The Penn State Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and the Institute of Energy and the Environment (IEE) invite applications for a new faculty position in environmental engineering. This tenure-track position will be filled at the Assistant Professor or Associate Professor level on a 36-week academic year appointment. This position is expected to commence by the Fall of 2024; however, the start date is negotiable.
To complement existing strengths in environmental engineering, the department is actively seeking an exceptional faculty member who has a global perspective for integrating engineering and science to address critical environmental challenges in climate and water quality. The potential beneficial impact of the candidate’s research area to society is more important than the specific topic itself. For example, areas of interest include, but are not limited to, advancing water treatment technologies to promote circularity and reuse, protecting human and ecosystem health from emerging anthropogenic contaminants, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from natural and engineered systems to improve air quality and reverse global warming. The successful candidate will assume a key role in interdisciplinary research collaborations and is co-funded through Penn State’s Institute of Energy and the Environment (IEE). The successful candidate should be a collaborative leader who will promote and enhance excellence and innovation in interdisciplinary research and demonstrate a commitment to inclusive teaching and to promoting a diverse and inclusive engineering community.
