ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITION - The Civil & Environmental Engineering (CE/ENVE) Department at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo invites applications for a full-time, academic year, tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in Environmental Engineering with an emphasis in emerging environmental challenges. Candidates with diverse research interests are encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate how their research supports a leading-edge environmental engineering concern such as Global Environmental Engineering, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Resource Recovery, or Nano-environmental Engineering. Rank and salary are commensurate with qualifications and experience. The position is available starting Fall 2018.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: (a) teaching undergraduate classes and laboratories in environmental engineering in general as well as graduate courses in an area of specialization. The ability to teach courses in more than one sub-specialty (air, waste, noise, water, or engineering fundamentals such as thermodynamics or mass transfer) is preferred; (b) supervising undergraduate and graduate-level research; (c) developing and maintaining externally-funded research programs; (d) collaborating with other faculty on research and professional development interests; (e) engaging in activities related to service in the form of student club advisement, curriculum development and shared governance.

The Department has two separate B.S. degree programs with approximately 700 undergraduate students in the Civil Engineering Program and 200 in the Environmental Engineering Program. Both programs are ABET accredited. The Department’s undergraduate programs are consistently rated as among the best in the U.S. for non-Ph.D. granting institutions, and the department proudly supports extremely active and highly regarded student chapters of the Air and Waste Management Association, American Society of Civil Engineers, Society of Women Engineers, and Engineers without Borders. The Department also offers an M.S. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering with approximately 50 active graduate students.

Candidates for the position are required to have earned undergraduate and doctorate degrees in Civil/Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related field by the time of appointment. Experience in environmental engineering, supported by a record of scholarly publications, is preferred. Professional registration, LEED certification, and industry/consulting experience are desirable. A commitment to innovation in undergraduate teaching and working in a multidisciplinary and collaborative setting is expected.
