[Jpjobs] Fwd: Northeastern U faculty positions

[Julia Westwater]

Assistant/Associate/Full Professor - Engineering at the Human-Natural 
Interface
As part of a strategic initiative in the areas of Urban Coastal 
Sustainability and Environmental Health, Northeastern University seeks 
faculty candidates for tenured or tenure-track appointments at the 
assistant, associate, or full professor level in the Department of Civil 
and Environmental Engineering across the broad area of Engineering at 
the Human-Natural Interface: Environmental Bioprocess, Air/Atmospheric, 
and Coastal Systems. Interested candidates may be considered for joint 
appointments in other departments commensurate with their areas of 
expertise. We seek candidates in three areas, including candidates at 
the intersection of these areas:
Environmental Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering, advancing the 
frontier in resource recovery and/or renewable energy at the interface 
of water quality and environmental health, including theory-driven 
management and manipulation of microbial communities in engineered 
systems, by leveraging experimental and computational approaches. 
Research strengths may include synthetic biology and/or ecology, kinetic 
modeling and associated experiments, genomics, and process technology 
development and optimization.
Sustainability and Resilience of Urban Coastal Systems, advancing the 
frontier in urban coastal systems, with particular interest in coastal 
dynamics or coastal and ecological engineering related to resilience, 
climate change and adaptation, and security. Research strengths may 
include field observation/sensing, numerical modeling, integration of 
multi-process, multi-system models (e.g., biological, chemical, 
ecological and geophysical) and/or observational data, climate and/or 
land use change impacts on coastal processes, and coupled 
natural-engineered-human systems.
Air and Atmospheric Systems Engineering, advancing a fundamental 
understanding of atmospheric chemistry and physical processes with 
translation to engineering for urgent societal priorities. Research 
strengths may include urban indoor and outdoor air quality, impacts of 
industrial aerosols on weather variability and extremes, engineering for 
air pollution mitigation, the consequences of greenhouse gas emissions 
on regional to global climate and associated implications, improving 
integrated capabilities for measurement, modeling, and analysis through 
the development and adaptation of sensing technologies, numerical 
models, artificial intelligence, and integrated sensor-model-data systems.
Candidates should have an interdisciplinary background in a combination 
of civil/environmental engineering, atmospheric physics/chemistry, 
environmental health, climate modeling, computational sciences, machine 
learning, or similar fields.
The hiring efforts at Northeastern University seek to foster education 
and research across disciplinary boundaries. Through these hires we aim 
to create a signature effort at the interface of the built and 
biological environments that will foster adaptation of urban living to 
inevitable global change. The successful candidates are expected to 
demonstrate a proven ability to sustain a research program with emphasis 
on interdisciplinary and translational research, teach both 
undergraduate and graduate classes, and be active, recognized leaders in 
their disciplines.
Candidates should be committed to fostering diverse and inclusive 
environments as well as to promoting experiential learning, which are 
central to a Northeastern University education.
