Environmental Engineering

Assistant Professor | Tenure-Track 

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Case Western Reserve University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Environmental Engineering.  We are looking for strong candidates who will bring an innovative perspective to advancing environmental data science in support of major civil and environmental engineering challenges. The successful candidate is expected to strengthen existing departmental expertise and build a nationally recognized research program at the intersection of environmental engineering, data science, and artificial intelligence. A strong interdisciplinary science/engineering background is highly sought. The following non-exhaustive list of expertise is of specific interest: environmental data science and AI for water, air, soil, engineered systems, and climate applications; knowledge-informed and interpretable machine learning; multi-omics approaches; environmental bioinformatics; environmental sensing and monitoring; data-driven modeling of environmental processes; uncertainty quantification and decision support; and digital tools for environmental sustainability, resilience, and adaptation.

Assistant Professor | Tenure-Track | Hydrologic Systems Engineering 

The Fariborz Maseeh Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in hydrologic systems engineering. We seek a candidate whose research advances fundamental understanding of hydrologic processes and addresses complex water challenges through a systems perspective. We are particularly interested in research that examines interactions, feedbacks, and connectivity among hydrologic processes across spatial and temporal scales.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, riverine, estuarine, and coastal systems; surface and subsurface hydrology; transport processes and sediment dynamics; coupled human-water systems; hydrologic prediction and modeling across scales, and responses to hydroclimatic extremes. Candidates whose research integrates novel experimental and observational approaches, field studies, Earth observations and remote sensing, data assimilation, or physics-based, data-driven, or hybrid modeling and computational methods are encouraged to apply.
