Pre-Tenure Faculty Position in Freshwater, Stanford Doerr School for Sustainability

Stanford University invites applications for a tenure-track, Assistant Professor focusing on Freshwater.

Freshwater resources are increasingly being taxed by the regional impacts of climate, land-use, and population changes. The greater frequency and magnitude of floods and droughts has taken its toll in many regions. Around the world, groundwater storage is declining, pollution is increasing, surface water reservoir storage is low, and major reservoir development has plateaued. Consequently, transboundary and sectoral competition for freshwater has grown. New approaches to quantitative analysis of freshwater systems are key to enhancing sustainability. We invite candidates that have completed or will soon complete their PhD in the area of freshwater (including natural sciences, engineering, and related fields) to apply. The successful candidate will serve as a tenure-track Assistant professor in Stanford’s Doerr School for Sustainability. Candidates must have an exceptional record of scholarly work in one or more aspects of hydrologic science and freshwater resources, be interested in interdisciplinary approaches, demonstrate a dedication to teaching, and a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Application packages should be submitted online at this link: https://facultypositions.stanford.edu/cw/en-us/job/494637/pretenure-faculty-postion-in-freshwater-stanford-doerr-school-for-sustainability.
