Hydrotechnical Engineering Assistant Professor for Climate Adaptation Opportunity

1 week ago


Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada University of New Brunswick Full time

The University of New Brunswick's Department of Civil Engineering invites applications for a tenure-track position in Hydrotechnical engineering for climate adaptation at the rank of Assistant Professor.

This position has an anticipated start date of July 1, or soon thereafter as may be negotiated with the successful applicant. Review of applications will commence by May 1 and will continue until the position is filled.

The Department is seeking candidates with research experience and/or interest in one or more of the following areas: quantification of climate change risks for water-related infrastructure, design and adaptation for mitigating inland and coastal flooding, sustainable/green stormwater system design, water-related infrastructure design/adaptation in the context of holistic watershed management, and integration of ecohydrology with future climate-influenced extreme events.

Research and training in these areas will contribute to UNB's strategic research plan goal to mobilize knowledge to transform communities.

This opportunity allows an individual to join a civil engineering department in a period of growth while placing increased emphasis on the profession's impacts on society and the environment through collaborative research and education offerings, and contribute to research and teaching in water and environmental engineering.

The Department delivers accredited BScE programs in Civil Engineering and Geological Engineering, offering fundamental undergraduate courses in hydraulics, hydrology, hydrogeology, and environmental engineering, as well as advanced electives, graduate courses, and research in areas of water and wastewater treatment biotechnologies, groundwater-surface water interactions, and ecohydraulics.

Fredericton is an excellent setting to establish a research program focused on climate change adaptation; the Wolastoq|Saint John River flows through the centre of the city, and the surrounding areas include agricultural and coastal communities, Protected Natural Areas, and wetlands.

The regional research community is collaborative, with established connections at other Atlantic universities and research organizations. Current infrastructure to support this position includes several laboratory facilities, field gear, and dedicated technical support for experimental research in hydrotechnical engineering.

This position also presents an opportunity to address the increasing needs of communities and industry sectors to adapt for water-related climate impacts, add unique expertise to the Faculty of Engineering in hydrotechnical engineering for climate adaptation, establish and maintain an innovative, externally funded, research program, and contribute to the training of highly qualified personnel.

Potential partnerships are possible with many people and research centres across campus, including the Department of Earth Sciences, the Canadian Rivers Institute and the Department of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering, with strengths in ocean, coastal and flood mapping, and remote sensing.

In addition to the opportunities for collaboration internally, it is expected that there would be strong interest/support from governments at all three levels (municipal, provincial, and federal), NGOs (e.g. CLIMAtlantic), Indigenous communities, and the private sector (e.g. engineering consulting firms) for the increased research capacity and highly-qualified personnel generated by the position.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in Civil Engineering or a related field with evidence of, or demonstrated potential for, excellence in research and teaching and a commitment to an inclusive learning and working environment.

Experience in engineering practice is also desirable, and the potential to collaborate with and complement other researchers in the Department or at the University will be considered an asset.

Applicants must be eligible and willing to register as a Professional Engineer in the Province of New Brunswick.

Estimated salary range for this position is between $90,000 - $120,000 per year, commensurate with qualifications and experience.
