Energy and the Environment Faculty Search

Posted: 

THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Energy and the Environment. Successful candidates must clearly demonstrate how their research addresses impacts of energy production, conversion, distribution, or consumption on the environment. Research examples include (but are not limited to) subsurface sequestration of energy-related contaminants and greenhouse gases and their transport through subsurface, surface, and atmospheric systems; impacts of energy-related contaminants and greenhouse gases on soil quality, water quality, air quality, and global warming; evaluation of alternative and unconventional energy sources (e.g., natural gas, solar, wind, geothermal, hydrogen, nuclear, or biofuels), including the assessment of their negative externalities, against those of conventional fossil fuels; and development and provision of viable and reliable distribution systems for emerging energy technologies. The department, college and university are making significant investments in sustainability, energy, the environment, and transportation in support of establishing OSU as a global leader in the area of Energy and the Environment. Thus, a strong potential to collaborate within the department and across the university is desirable. Example entities on campus that already offer such opportunities are the Office of Energy and Environment, the Subsurface Energy Resource Center, the Center for Automotive Research, and the Center for Resilience.
