Environmental Chemistry Faculty Position at Northeastern

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University seeks faculty candidates for a tenured or tenure-track appointment at the assistant, associate or full professor level in environmental chemistry. This position is in our strategic research area The Urban Water Environment and Public Health, and candidates should have an emphasis on: 1) physical/chemical processes (e.g. advanced oxidation/adsorption and disinfection byproducts,), with an experimental/laboratory focus; or 2) emerging contaminants (e.g. endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, and nano-materials). The successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate a proven ability to sustain a research program with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and translational research, teach both undergraduate and graduate classes, and be an active, recognized leader in the discipline. The appointment may be with tenure, depending on qualifications. Ideally, we seek individuals with an established program of funded research who will immediately contribute to this strategic research area. Qualification Required: a Ph.D. in civil engineering or a closely related field, an outstanding record of scholarship, and extramural funding commensurate with desired level of appointment.
