The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, invites tenure-track faculty applications in support of the Department s broad initiative in Sustainability and Resilience with a focus in the area of Environmental Engineering. Hiring will be at the untenured assistant professor level.

Environmental Engineering is evolving in new directions in response to challenges associated with resource limitations and scarcity, climate change and an increased recognition of the potential impacts of emerging environmental and public health challenges facing wealthy countries, like the United States and rapidly developing low- and middle-income countries. Increasingly, solutions to some of the most challenging environmental problems will require technological innovation that leverages the latest advances developments from other science and engineering disciplines as well as an ability to consider economic drivers, institutional barriers and societal and community responses to new approaches for protecting public health and the environment. The next generation of environmental engineers will contribute to a new vision for the ways in which development and prosperity can co-exist with livable cities and healthy ecosystems.

We seek candidates who will develop the next generation of solutions to environmental engineering problems and demonstrate excellence in system-level thinking and addressing sustainability challenges. Research connections that extend beyond the traditional bounds of environmental engineering are highly desired. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, water quality, water reuse, desalination, decentralized water supply and treatment systems, and resource and energy recovery systems.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are core values in the College of Engineering and the Department seeks candidates whose research, teaching or service has prepared them to contribute in those areas.
