Position description
The Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Riverside invites applications for one or more tenured or tenure-track faculty positions.

The Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering is home to approximately 500 undergraduates, 100 graduate students and 20 faculty members. Interdisciplinary collaborations are fostered by college-level and campus-wide initiatives and include plant science and agriculture (Center for Agriculture and Food Enterprise), the Water Resource Center, the Winston Chung Global Energy Center, the Center of Innovative Materials for Energy and Environment, the Center for Industrial Biotechnology and the Center for Environmental Research and Technology.
The University of California, Riverside's (UCR) Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE) currently has 130 faculty members, more than 3,100 undergraduates, 900 graduate students, more than $46 million in annual research expenditures, and is home to five departments, nine undergraduate programs, seven graduate programs, and nine research centers.

Successful candidates will have a proven record of, or exceptional promise for, developing a vibrant externally-funded research program and developing a portfolio of high-quality teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. UC faculty will be expected to maintain an active research agenda and record of publications, teach a regular course load at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and to participate in service activities at department, college campus, and professional levels. They should also demonstrate clear potential for complementing and/or synergistically leveraging existing research activities within the department, college and campus.
Appointments are expected to begin July 1, 2022. Salary will be commensurate with education and experience. Advancement through the faculty ranks at the University of California is through a series of structured, merit-based evaluations, occurring every 2-3 years, each of which includes substantial peer input.
