Drinking Water Treatment and/or Water Reuse

Drinking Water Treatment and/or Water Reuse

The Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering (EEE) is seeking to develop a world class drinking water and water reuse treatment research program. The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with other faculty in Earth and Environmental Engineering and throughout Columbia University to develop the water research program. We are looking for a creative postdoctoral researcher with a doctoral degree in chemical or environmental engineering or science with background in physical/chemical processes and drinking water treatment. Experience with nanoparticles and pharmaceuticals and personal care products, membrane filtration (reverse osmosis), and/or advanced oxidation products is especially desired. The person must have a good command of oral and written English and significant experience conducting scientific experiments. This postdoctoral position is available immediately, will be renewable on an annual basis, and is anticipated for at least two or three years. Preference will be given to recent PhD graduates who are currently in the US and have a record of quality publication. Compensation will be commensurate with qualification and experience.
