The Department of Land, Air and Water Resources in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Davis is recruiting an Assistant Professor of Groundwater Hydrology with strong expertise in hydrogeology, in physical groundwater flow and contaminant transport processes, and in the development and application of numerical methods and data from neighboring disciplines (e.g. geophysics, AI) to cross a wide range of temporal and spatial scales in available data support, process description, focus of inquiry, and integration with other hydrological processes.
As part of UC Davis’ commitment to hire leading research faculty with an outstanding commitment to teaching, research, and service, we are looking for applicants who will also promote the success of historically underrepresented and marginalized student communities and address the needs of our increasingly diverse state and student population.
Potential areas of research include the application of interdisciplinary and integrative methods of physical, stochastic, and statistical groundwater analysis including the quantitative assessment and prediction of groundwater supply, storage, and flux and of fate and transport of environmental and emerging contaminants.
This is an academic year (9-month), Assistant Professor tenure-track position with teaching, research, outreach/engagement and service responsibilities and includes the expectation that the appointee will conduct mission-oriented research and outreach/engagement of relevance to the California Agricultural Experiment Station (https://caes.ucdavis.edu/research/aes/).
Additional inquiries can be directed to Dr. Thomas Harter, thharter@ucdavis.edu. The position will remain open until April 30, 2025, but to ensure consideration, applications must be received by January 17, 2025.
