The University of Oklahoma (OU) School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science (CEES) and School of Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering (CBME) in the Gallogly College of Engineering (GCoE) are looking to fill a joint faculty position in the area of produced waters/water resources. The position aligns with the GCoE’s strategic priorities of doubling research productivity in the strategic growth areas of  energy  (including management of produced waters from petroleum production) and  water  (including treatment and reclamation of produced waters). This new specialty area will strengthen OU’s water portfolio in an area of critical need and local and national significance at the energy-water nexus. Specifically, produced waters from the oil extraction industry pose a problem that is disrupting production, given that the traditional method of disposal via deep well injection is inducing earthquakes.  The large amount of freshwater currently required for oil production also greatly taxes limited water resources. The successful candidate is expected to develop and maintain a sponsored research program related to produced waters. Potential research areas include: Development of cost-effective water treatment and desalination technologies Risk assessment and water quality targets to protect environmental and public health Novel uses of treated waters Highly qualified individuals with demonstrated expertise in other innovative areas related to produced waters/water resources, and/or other research challenges at the energy-water nexus, will receive full consideration. Applicants at all levels will be considered. Since this position is being advertised jointly by CEES and CBME, it is anticipated that the successful candidate will teach one senior/graduate water quality course for CEES and one graduate course in his/her specialty area that would serve as an elective in both departments.  The CEES course could be taught online as part of the MS program in Hydrology and Water Security. The subject matter for the on-campus graduate specialty course in CEES or CBME will depend on the candidate’s area of expertise, but it is expected that it will cover one or more topics related to production and management of produced waters and/or advanced treatment processes.
