      POSITION DESCRIPTION

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.
