Water Technology - Search No. 1972
Department of Civil and Resource Engineering
The Departments of Civil and Resource Engineering, and Process Engineering and Applied Science, in collaboration with Dalhousie’s Centre for Water Resources Studies (CWRS), have research strength in drinking water quality, watershed management and treatment technologies. One appointment will be made in each department and both also will be members of the CWRS. The Chairs will be expected to collaborate with other researchers to develop word-class expertise in water technologies. Candidates with expertise in wastewater treatment, environmental hydraulics (as related to water/wastewater infrastructure), water reuse, and treatment systems for cold regions, particularly Northern and Arctic regions, are encouraged to apply.
Applicants should have a well-established research record and demonstrated ability to conduct independent scholarly research.
