> *Cluster Hires in Coastal Water Sustainability: *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.

> 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
