Assistant/Associate Professor of Watershed Hydrogeochemistry
The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of California Riverside invites applicants for a full-time Assistant/Associate Professor of Watershed
Hydrogeochemistry. Exceptional candidates in all areas of specialization in watershed-scale Hydrogeochemistry will be considered, with preferences given to
qualifications in one or more of the following areas: tracer hydrology, stream and lake biogeochemistry, isotope hydrology, reactive transport processes and
modeling, contaminant fate and transport, and water quality. The appointment will consist of a split 0.5 FTE I&R (Instruction and Research) and 0.5 FTE OR
(Organized Research) appointment in the Agricultural Experiment Station (https://cnas.ucr.edu/resources/agricultural-experiment-station).
The successful candidate will support the Department's excellence in hydrology and water resources both at the undergraduate- and graduate-level. This hire will
complement existing departmental and campus-wide faculty working on areas related to water resources and hydrogeochemistry (watershed processes, water
movement and transport in soils, surface water and groundwater quality, urban/agricultural irrigation, and water management), water policy, climate change, and
aquatic ecology. The successful candidate will have a strong track-record of peer-reviewed publications, proven record of, or exceptional promise for, developing a
vibrant externally funded research program, and a portfolio of high-quality teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The successful candidate is expected to integrate field-based research with laboratory analyses and/or numerical modeling, and work at broad spatial scales.
Examples of research foci include but are not limited to:
1) understanding catchment residence time and timescales of water flow to predict catchment response to climate change and management,
2) understanding and simulating multicomponent reactive transport processes,
3) contaminant fate and transport in the surface and subsurface hydrologic systems,
4) developing and advancing water quality models, and/or
5) improving estuarine and river water quality.
It is desirable that the candidate's research generate results that can be used by policy makers to enhance the sustainability of water resources within California. The
successful candidate is encouraged to contribute and/or provide leadership to the campus-wide multidisciplinary initiative in water research (R'Water) through
research and outreach activities. The faculty member may assume responsibility for teaching ENSC 140 (Limnology); and contribute to teaching ENSC 101 (Water
Resources), and/or graduate-level courses on advanced topics in hydrogeochemistry and water quality.
Required qualifications for this position include:
A Ph.D. in Hydrologic Sciences, Water Resources, Water Resources Engineering, Hydrogeochemistry, Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, or a
related field is required.

Preferred qualifications for this position include:
Assistant level only: Demonstration of potential for securing competitive funding at the federal level. Strong track record of high-quality publications.
Associate/Full level only: Evidence of securing competitive extramural funding at the federal level. Evidence of leading large research teams. Excellent teaching records.

To apply: For consideration at an Assistant level, submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, three letters of references, a Statement of Research, a Statement of
Teaching, and a Contribution to Diversity Statement to https://apptrkr.com/3291744.
For consideration at an Associate level, submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, teaching evaluations, contact information for three references, a Statement of
Research, a Statement of Teaching, and a Contribution to Diversity Statement to https://apptrkr.com/3291744.

Review of applications will commence on November 15, 2022 and proceed until the position is filled. For full consideration, applicants should submit their
complete applications prior to the above date.
