General Description

The Johns Hopkins University's Department of Environmental Health and Engineering seeks applicants for tenure-track faculty positions focused on Innovative Clean Water Technologies for the 21st Century.  Candidates should have core expertise in the broad areas of water and/or wastewater treatment with an emphasis on novel cost-effective and energy efficient technologies. Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to: physico-chemical or biological processes to advance technologies for recovery and reuse of impaired waters, resource recovery from wastewaters, novel sensors and diagnostic tools for monitoring water supply and treatment infrastructure, and novel materials.  Candidates should demonstrate the ability to develop broad interdisciplinary collaborations to address water challenges in a global context, by leveraging technological advancements in other fields such as utilizing the JHU Materials Characterization Processing (MCP) Core Facility, or incorporating life-cycle/systems analysis and sustainability concepts into analysis and design, and considering societal and environmental impacts and resource circularity. Individuals who integrate the above areas with public health or policy are especially encouraged to apply.

The Department of Environmental Health and Engineering, which spans the Whiting School of Engineering and the Bloomberg School of Public Health, has 49 tenured/tenure-track and 40 non-tenure-track faculty members.  We embrace the vision outlined in the 2018 National Academy report Environmental Engineering for the 21st Century: Addressing Grand Challenges. We strive to position JHU as a world leader in understanding how environmental change affects human health and welfare, and in finding solutions that improve the health of the environment, the planet, communities and people, together as linked goals.  We invite candidates who share our vision to apply for this position.
