The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Bucknell University invites applications for a visiting assistant professor appointment in the 2022-23 academic year, starting in August 2022. We seek individuals with enthusiasm for teaching and a desire to engage students in the classroom and laboratory on subjects in the area of environmental engineering. The successful candidate will teach undergraduate courses with small class sizes (typically 10-35 students) that facilitate close student-faculty interaction in a hands-on, interactive learning community. The University sponsors a range of developmental activities for faculty, supported by a well-resourced Teaching and Learning Center.

Candidates are expected to have an earned doctorate or be ABD in environmental engineering, civil engineering, or another closely related field at the time of appointment. Clear evidence of the potential for teaching excellence is essential. The ideal candidate would have teaching abilities in hazardous waste management or related areas (e.g., public health, emerging contaminants, industrial hygiene, risk assessment, remediation, waste containment), as well as either probability & statistics or numerical methods.

Applications must include a cover letter, current curriculum vitae, and personal statement (4 pages maximum). In the personal statement, applicants should:

• describe their career goals and explain how this position aligns with these goals;
  
  
• describe their teaching philosophy and experience relevant to the Bucknell environmental and civil engineering programs and curricula;
