Clemson University: College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences: Agricultural Sciences
Assistant Professor-Ecological Engineer
Location: BELLE W. BARUCH – BARONY LAB, Georgetown, SC
Description
The Department of Agricultural Sciences located within Clemson University’s College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Life Sciences, seeks applications for a 12-month tenure-track position in Ecological Engineering at the Assistant Professor level (60% Research, 40% Extension) to work at Clemson’s Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forest Science (BICEFS) in Georgetown, SC. Preferred candidates will be motivated to contribute to a collegial, interdisciplinary community with a strong tradition of fundamental and applied research and our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We seek an innovative scholar whose program focuses on the integration of hydrology, ecosystem processes, and human dimensions in dynamic, coastal areas. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in applied ecological engineering, ecosystem processes, hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling, and/or computational hydrology who can effectively communicate their findings to a broader audience. Research may include but is not limited to impacts of climate and land use change on watershed, wetland, and coastal ecosystems; flooding and pollution mitigation (e.g., green stormwater infrastructure, treatment wetlands, and other nature-based solutions); and combining field, lab, and modeling investigations to address ecosystem issues across multiple scales.
The successful candidate will be expected to initiate, build, and sustain an externally funded, internationally recognized research and Extension program, publish in high-quality peer-reviewed journals, and complement existing faculty expertise in both the Department of Agricultural Sciences and BICEFS.
