Director of the Water Consortium
Penn State’s Institutes of Energy and the Environment (IEE) seeks to hire
an entrepreneurial leader to serve as the inaugural Director for the Penn
State Water Faculty Consortium. The Consortium is a faculty led initiative
to develop a vibrant University water research, outreach, extension and
education community, and foster the success of faculty working on water
topics. As an ex officio member of the faculty-elected Water Council, the
Director will operationalize strategies developed through the Water Council
for engaging faculty working in water science, policy research, education
or outreach throughout the University system. The Director will assist in
identifying priority areas of focus and, in collaboration with College
administration, help facilitate and organize searches for co-funded
tenure line faculty positions. The Director will enable and facilitate the
development of inter-disciplinary and convergent research teams of
investigators internal and external to Penn State, including
identifying emerging topic areas and funding opportunities, and programming
meetings and seminars of relevant faculty. The Director will help manage
the progress of a Water Council committee developing an inter-disciplinary
graduate degree program in water. Work with Penn State’s existing outreach
and water outreach efforts to identify gaps and needs and coordinate
existing resources or request new resources to meet these needs as
appropriate. Qualifications for this job include excellent communications
skills, an advanced degree in a field related to water, and ideally 6 or
more years of experience working on water-related topics. The degree could
include an MS, Ph.D., MBA, JD or other related degree. The successful
candidate will demonstrate commitment to and ability to successfully
advocate for diversity and the values of inclusion. This position is
offered for a three-year fixed term, subject to renewal. This position will
report to the IEE Director. Applications should submit a statement
of interest, CV and names of three references. Review of applications will
begin April 10, 2019 and will continue until the position is filled, with
the expectation that this position would start in the spring of 2019.
