<p class="">As part of an interdisciplinary cluster
hire in coastal water sustainability, the University
of Delaware (UD) invites applications for a 9-month,
tenure-track faculty position at the rank of
Assistant Professor in Integrated Hydrologic Systems
Modeling beginning in fall 2020. Exceptional
candidates at other levels will be considered.</p>
<p class=""><br class="">
</p>
<p class=""><strong class="">Cluster Hires in Coastal
Water Sustainability: </strong>The cluster hires
will focus on hydrological processes, water quality,
human behavior, remediation, and impacts on human
and ecosystem health arising from stressors on
coastal water resources. The cluster will complement
existing strengths in water science, engineering,
economics, and policy, and will establish critical
new capabilities at UD in research and teaching,
with six faculty hires: two each in environmental
toxicology & epidemiology, water & soil
remediation, and systems modeling. An
interdisciplinary team of faculty from five UD
colleges (CANR, CAS, CEOE, CHS and COE) developed
the vision for this cluster, taking a systemic and
solutions-oriented approach to global water
challenges in coastal environments, and providing
several possibilities for primary and joint
appointments dependent on new hire expertise.
Faculty hired as part of the cluster will be part of
a high-potential interdisciplinary team, as well as
important additions and complements to existing UD
faculty and programs.</p>
<p class=""><br class="">
</p>
<p class=""><strong class="">This Position:</strong>
We seek exceptional candidates with expertise in
integrated hydrologic systems. Candidates should
have experience integrating computational and data
sciences to enable innovation in developing and
applying numerical models that simulate physical
surface and subsurface processes across the
hydrologic cycle and interactions with other Earth
and human systems. A Ph.D. in applied mathematics,
atmospheric sciences, computer science, engineering,
geological sciences, geography, hydrology,
oceanography or a related field is required.
Successful candidates are expected to have
demonstrated excellence in research and a dedicated
interest in high quality teaching at both the
undergraduate and graduate level. All faculty are
expected to contribute to a welcoming campus
environment that embraces diversity.</p>
<p class=""><br class="">
</p>
<p class="">We seek an interdisciplinary researcher
who is attentive to high-impact applications and
cutting-edge technology and is committed to
establishing robust, extramurally funded research
programs. As a part of the cluster hire, the
successful candidate will have opportunities to work
on recently funded research related to water
security. The position would make connections to
UD’s current strengths in hydrology, coastal and
environmental engineering, behavioral and
environmental economics, environmental policy, and
biogeochemistry. The hire will enhance new and
existing degree programs in areas such as Water
Science and Policy, Geological Sciences,
Environmental Engineering, Geography, and/or Applied
Economics and Statistics. To foster collaborations
across academic units, we expect that most faculty
hired through this search will have
interdepartmental or intercollege joint
appointments.</p>
