PROFESSOR HYDROGEOLOGY

EAU TERRE ENVIRONNEMENT RESEARCH CENTRE

Tenure-track position

Context and summary

The Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) is the only institution in Quebec dedicated exclusively to research and graduate training. In partnership with the community and industry, INRS is proud to contribute to the development of our society through its discoveries and to contribute to the training of a new generation of high-level scientists in the fields of science and engineering, social sciences and health.

The Centre Eau Terre Environnement of INRS (INRS-ETE) is seeking applications for a professor position in the field of hydrogeology. The candidate will join a group of researchers covering several hydrogeology specialties, as well as a number of fields related to water, environment and geosciences. The Centre Eau Terre Environnement has an impressive research infrastructure, including state-of-the-art laboratory and field equipment. In hydrogeology, this equipment includes a Contaminant Hydrogeology Laboratory, a Direct Push and Rotary Percussion Sounding System and a wide range of geophysical instrumentation. The recruitment process is opened to multiple aspects of hydrogeology and does not focus on a specific hydrogeology specialty. Thus, the expertise and field of research of the person recruited may cover one or more of the fields of hydrogeology, and his or her research work may benefit from one or more of the various research infrastructure available.
