Faculty Position in Physical Oceanography – The University of Texas at Austin invites applications for a faculty position in the Department of Marine Science.  We seek an accomplished physical oceanographer at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank that will use field, remote sensing, and/or computational methods to study estuaries and coastal oceans.  Interdisciplinary researchers that couple physical, biogeochemical and/or biotic processes in estuarine and coastal environments are encouraged to apply. Areas of research interest include, but are not limited to:  circulation and connectivity of watersheds and the open ocean, ocean-atmosphere interactions, mixing processes, and sediment transport including quantitative geomorphology. The successful applicant will be expected to establish a nationally recognized research program at the University of Texas, mentor graduate students and postdoctoral scientists, and teach at the graduate and undergraduate levels.  The positions are located at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute in Port Aransas, Texas. The institute offers close proximity to estuarine, inshore and offshore habitats of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as excellent shoreside facilities for experimental work. Our infrastructure includes state-of-the-art research laboratories, offices and meeting spaces; the Estuarine Research Center housing the Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserve in partnership with NOAA, a Marine Science Library, and full-service core analytical facilities. New facility renovations completed or underway include the Fisheries and Mariculture Laboratory Complex, marina, research pier, public Marine Science Education Center and the new Center for Coastal Ocean Science that will house marine environmental science research in chemical ecology, toxicology, physiology and biochemistry. Successful applicants will have the freedom to follow independent and collaborative research, and will be provided with 9 months of state-funded salary support for research and teaching.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) in the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science (MCECS) at Portland State University (PSU) invites applicants for a tenure-track position in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering to begin September 2020. The position requires an earned doctorate in civil engineering or closely related field. While the target of hiring is at the assistant professor level, outstanding applicants may be considered at all levels (associate/full professor). A successful candidate will be required to develop an externally-sponsored research program aligned with the department’s strategic vision, teach undergraduate and graduate courses, develop new graduate courses in their area of expertise, and effectively serve the profession and university. With a bold new strategic vision of “Bright Minds, Brilliant Cities” MCECS is growing in many innovative ways. Honesty, integrity, and respect for others, as well as expanding opportunities for social mobility for our students, are key values of our vision (see www.pdx.edu/cecs/strategic-vision ). The CEE departmental strategic vision includes research themes in prevention, planning, and management of extraordinary events; evaluation, development, and deployment of technologies that promote a better society; and creation and maintenance of healthy environments (see www.pdx.edu/cee/strategic-vision ). For this position, we seek candidates with a research focus in one or more of the following areas: water resources and management, watersheds, hydrology and hydrologic modeling, fluvial and coastal systems, and the role/impact of climate change in the environment. A successful candidate will complement our existing departmental strengths in water quality and water quality modeling, subsurface hydrology and pollutant transport, environmental pollution characterization and control, and coastal systems, and build new strengths based on their research interest.  Candidates who can effectively teach and mentor a diverse student body who also enhance the MCECS strategic research directions are especially encouraged to apply. Portland State University (PSU) is the most diverse university in Oregon and has been ranked among the “most innovative” national universities by the U.S. News & World Report. Our urban research university is integrated into the heart of the city and is only minutes away from the outdoor beauties of the Pacific Northwest. We offer ABET-accredited B.S. degrees in both Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering and graduate programs at the master’s and doctoral levels. Our 25 faculty members and researchers serve over 380 undergraduate and 80 graduate students. More information about the department is available at www.pdx.edu/cee . Questions regarding the search can be directed to the Search Committee Chair, Dr. Gwynn R. Johnson (gjohnson@pdx.edu).
