University of Florida – Assistant or Associate Professor Position
Position Announcement – Assistant or Associate ProfessorCoastal and Oceanographic Engineering ProgramThe Coastal and Oceanographic Engineering Program in the new Engineering School of Sustainable Infrastructure and Environment (ESSIE) at the University of Florida invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level, to begin August 2012. Candidates must hold a doctoral degree in an appropriate field of science or engineering.We seek creative, highly productive scientists who have demonstrated innovative research in quantitative analysis in the broad area of coastal engineering and physical oceanography. Preference will be given to candidates with a research focus on coastal turbulence and transport processes, approached within the larger context of climate change, coastal hazards, and environmental sustainability. Research approaches can include theoretical, numerical or experimental methods. The successful candidate will be expected to build a strong externally funded research program, provide professional service, teach and develop courses at the undergraduate and graduate level; develop strong collaborations with other faculty in the Coastal Program, and pursue research collaborations and synergistic activities with other members of ESSIE in support of sustainable coastal systems.Interested candidates should submit a complete curriculum vitae referencing position number 00006287, a 2-3 page statement of teaching and research plans, up to three representative journal articles (co-) authored by the applicant, and the names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of five references to Dr. Alex Sheremet, Search Committee Chair, electronically to jobsearch@coastal.ufl.edu. Questions may be referred to Dr. Sheremet at alex@coastal.ufl.edu.
