Pollutant Fate and Transport Tenure Track Faculty Position
POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT
PAUL H. O’NEILL SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS INDIANA UNIVERSITY-BLOOMINGTON CAMPUS
Pollutant Fate and Transport Tenure Track Faculty Position
The O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University-Bloomington seeks applicants for a tenure-track position in the field of environmental pollutant fate and transport. We are particularly interested in applicants whose research addresses challenges of pollutant contamination of aquatic ecosystems as it impacts human health, ecosystem functioning, and environmental quality, where pollutants are broadly defined as traditional (e.g., nutrients, persistent organic pollutants, and heavy metals) and emerging pollutants (e.g., PFAS and microplastics); however, all candidates with relevant profiles will be considered. Successful applicants may conduct laboratory and/or field research that integrates across scales from single molecule to nano, cellular, regional, and/or global scales and will augment our environmental science programs by providing strength in areas related to aquatic ecosystems. We value research, teaching, and service that intersects with issues of policy, environmental justice, and/or diversity and inclusivity in environmental science.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in environmental science, environmental chemistry, geochemistry, environmental engineering, or a related discipline by the time of appointment and should have a record of publication and achievements commensurate with appointment at the Assistant Professor level. Preference will be given to applicants with postdoctoral experience. The successful applicant will be expected to establish and maintain a rigorous nationally and internationally recognized externally funded research program. This position also requires contributions to undergraduate and graduate teaching, and service to the O’Neill School and Indiana University. Interest in disciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborations is strongly supported and encouraged.
All O’Neill faculty members are expected to interact with our diverse student and faculty community. As such, we are especially interested in applicants with a record of successful teaching and mentoring of students from many backgrounds (including first-generation college students, low-income students, racial and ethnic minorities, women, LGBTQ, etc.) and an interest in contributing to O’Neill’s programs, curricular offerings, and service portfolio in ways that enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion.
