Prospective candidates must have:

  • A degree in an engineering discipline and a doctoral degree with a focus on sustainability-related methods or problems
  • A track record or demonstrated potential of generating high-quality and impactful scholarly research
  • The potential to establish an externally funded research program, and to achieve international recognition within five years
  • Alignment between their research interests and those of the Schulich School of Engineering (Schulich Momentum: Enhancing Community, Expanding Impact) and the University of Calgary (Ahead of Tomorrow)
  • Ability to attract and develop excellent trainees, students, and future researchers
  • Ability to develop and teach a range of undergraduate and graduate courses core to engineering and relating to SUSE specifically material flow analysis, industrial symbiosis, input-output analysis, circular economy, and data analytics within the broader context of industrial ecology.
  • Have strong oral and written English communication skills
  • A commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Engineering
  • Be eligible for registration as a professional engineer with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA)
