The Southern University of Science and Technology (known as SUSTech
or SUSTC) (http://www.sustc.edu.cn/en) was
founded in 2011 with public funding from Shenzhen City. A thriving
metropolis of 20 million people bordering Hong Kong, Shenzhen has
often been referred to as the Silicon Valley of China with strong
telecommunication, biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors. The
goal of SUSTech is to become a top-tier international university
that excels in interdisciplinary research, talent development and
knowledge discovery. English is the language of instruction. The
School of Environmental Science and Engineering at SUSTech was
established in May 2015 to provide a new platform for performing
cutting-edge research and for training a new generation of
environmental scientists, engineers and managers who are
interdisciplinary, innovative and global-thinking. Currently the
school has 18 full time faculty members (http://ese.sustc.edu.cn/en/)
with 30 or more tenure-track/tenured positions to be filled. In
addition to a generous startup package to each tenured or tenure
