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.
