HYDRAULICS/HYDROLOGY FACULTY POSITION

The Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at all ranks, with a preference however for the level of assistant professor. Purdue University seeks to attract exceptional candidates with interests and expertise in the general fields of hydraulics and hydrology.  Candidates with research and teaching interests in one or more of the following topical areas: laboratory studies in hydraulics and hydrology, coastal engineering, large-scale surface and/or subsurface hydrology, environmental and ecological hydrologic systems and their optimization, are especially encouraged to apply.  Successful candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in civil engineering or a closely related discipline and demonstrate excellent potential to build an independent research program at the forefront of their field, as well as potential to educate and mentor students.  The successful candidate will conduct original research, will advise graduate students, will teach undergraduate and graduate level courses, and will perform service both at the School and University levels. The potential for interdisciplinary collaboration with the broader Purdue University research community such as the Purdue Water Community (website: http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/water/), would be an asset.  Candidates with experience working with diverse groups of students, faculty, and staff and the ability to contribute to an inclusive climate are particularly encouraged to apply.

The School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University has experienced significant growth in the past decade and has a strong faculty core engaged in all areas of civil engineering as well as significant interdisciplinary efforts across campus, with other academic institutions, and industrial partners. The College of Engineering at Purdue is currently undergoing extensive growth, with over one hundred faculty position openings being projected over the next five years.
