INSTITUTION: Michigan State University
DEPARTMENT: Civil and Environmental Engineering
POSITION: Assistant Professor, Tenure Track Position

NOTES:

Faculty Position in Civil and Environmental Engineering at MSU The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Michigan State University (MSU) invites applications for a tenure-system faculty position in the hydrology and water resources area. The position is expected to be filled at the Assistant Professor level; however, exceptional candidates will be considered at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in civil engineering, water resources engineering, environmental engineering or a closely related discipline, an interest in interdisciplinary research and an outstanding record of scholarship. The depth of scholarship and overall promise of the candidate are most important for this position; therefore, candidates in all areas of hydrology and water resources will be considered.

The successful candidate will teach undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in hydrology, hydraulics and fluid mechanics and develop a vibrant, externally-funded research program. Michigan State University provides excellent opportunities for collaboration with other academic units and has several campus-wide initiatives in place related to water and the environment (e.g., the Global Water Initiative, http://water.msu.edu).

The CEE Department at MSU is organized around civil engineering and environmental engineering degree programs, and faculty members specialize in research sub-disciplines including structures, pavements, environmental and water resources. The Department currently has 21 tenure-stream faculty members, with approximately 400 undergraduate and 130 graduate students. Degrees in both civil engineering and environmental engineering are offered at the BS, MS and PhD levels. Scholastically there is a strong trend toward breaking out of sub disciplinary confines, with approaches that bring in new technologies and scientific approaches, address new problems or those that span multiple traditional subject areas, or are based on considerations and criteria new to professional practice.
MSU enjoys a park-like campus with outlying research facilities and natural areas. The campus is adjacent to the city of East Lansing and the capital city of Lansing.
The Lansing metropolitan area has a
population of approximately 450,000. Local communities have excellent school systems and place a high value on education.

Michigan State University is pro-active in exploring opportunities for the employment of spouses, both inside and outside the University. Information about WorkLife at MSU and the College of Engineering can be found at http://www.egr.msu.edu/WE . Interested individuals should submit an application for this position
through: http://jobs.msu.edu/ and refer to position #8775. Applicants must submit a detailed curriculum vitae, a teaching and research plan (3 pages maximum), and the names and contact information for five references. The application material should be accompanied by a cover letter stating the position specialty being applied to and a brief statement of their interest in the position. Applications will be reviewed on a continuing basis until the position is filled. For full consideration, applications should be received before February 28, 2014.
