Job Description:

Faculty search in Modeling in Environmental Systems. The Department of Civil, Environmental and Geo- Engineering at the University of Minnesota is seeking applications for a faculty position in the broad area of Modeling in Environmental Systems. The position is primarily intended for applicants at the Assistant Professor level; however, more experienced, exceptional applicants can be considered. All areas related to systems modeling, decision support, stochastic methods, and computational modeling with applications to environmental or water resources engineering will be considered, including life cycle assessment and technoeconomic analysis, system optimization, computational fluid dynamics in geophysical flows, artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches. Emphasis will be placed on the quality, creativity and intellectual distinction of the candidates' research and scholarship. We are interested in scholars with strong core fundamentals in science and engineering that allow them to move easily across disciplinary boundaries and work collaboratively to solve complex problems at the frontier of their disciplines. Successful candidates will be expected to maintain a strong externally funded research program. Teaching responsibilities include existing undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as development of new courses in the candidate's specialty areas. An earned doctorate is required at the time of the appointment. Candidates seeking the rank of Associate Professor must have a strong record of success in teaching, research, and service commensurate with the appointment level. Applications must be submitted online: https://z.umn.edu/ModelingEnvironmentalSystems_Fac Include a letter of intent, CV, complete contact information for three references, and statements on (i) research experience and interests, (iii) teaching experience and interests, (iv) experience fostering diversity and inclusion in the classroom and research. The review of applications will begin on January 2nd, 2026. Applications may continue to be accepted until the position is filled. Expected appointment is Fall 2026. The Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engineering (CEGE) at the University of Minnesota is a mid-sized department dedicated to conducting cutting-edge theoretical, computational and experimental research in all areas related to Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engineering, with noted excellence in the areas of water resources and environmental engineering. The department features state-of-the-art experimental facilities, including multiple excellent core facilities (imaging, genomics, research computing, etc.) and the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory (https://cse.umn.edu/safl), a unique and globally recognized facility for pioneering research in experimental and computational fluid mechanics, hydrology, geophysics and (micro)biology.
