Graduate Students" Subject: Faculty position announcement (fwd) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII NOTICE OF VACANCY Washington State University Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering VACANCY - Associate/Full Professor in Hydraulic Engineering POSITION DESCRIPTION - Washington State University (WSU) is seeking applications for a full-time tenured Professor in Hydraulic Engineering. This senior person will become Director of the Albrook Hydraulic Laboratory, one of the top hydraulic laboratory facilities in the country, and will be responsible for carrying on WSU?s rich tradition of excellence in hydraulic research. Specific responsibilities include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, conducting externally-funded research, advising, and participating in continuing education and technology transfer programs. Excellent interdisciplinary research opportunities exist with a wide range of nationally recognized departments and research institutes on campus and with numerous agencies in the Pacific Northwest. QUALIFICATIONS - A B.S. and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline are required. Applicants with a strong experimental fluid mechanics background and an understanding and history of collaborative research projects are sought. Preference will be given to those with backgrounds in: 1) experimental hydraulics, 2) free surface flow and river hydraulics, 3) environmental fluid mechanics, 4) turbulence in water environments, 5) mass and sediment transport processes in rivers and lakes, and 6) the management of a hydraulic laboratory. The successful candidate will teach basic and advanced courses in hydraulic and water resources engineering, and have proven track records in obtaining external research funding and publishing in refereed journals. As Director, the candidate is expected to provide leadership and direction to the other faculty in hydraulic engineering. Effective written and oral communications with students and colleagues is required, and current professional registration is desirable. UNIVERSITY - Founded in 1890, Washington State University is a comprehensive research, land-grant institution with a total student enrollment of approximately 20,000. There are eight colleges offering nearly 100 major fields of study. Bachelor?s degrees are available in all major areas, with master?s and doctoral degrees available in most. WSU is located in Pullman, WA which is about 75 miles south of Spokane and is one of the largest residential universities in the West. WSU has branch campuses located in three urban communities across the state. DEPARTMENT - Civil and Environmental Engineering is one of five ABET accredited departments within the College of Engineering and Architecture. A total of 26 FTE faculty positions cover a broad spectrum of civil and environmental engineering disciplines. Enrollment in the department consists of approximately 300 undergraduate and 80 graduate students. Albrook Hydraulic Laboratory contains approximately 20,000 square feet of working space and is fully equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as a 75- ft long flume, 3-D and 2-D doppler velocimeters, acoustic doppler, data acquisition systems, HP and SGI workstations, etc. The Lab has historically enjoyed a long and productive partnership with industry and government in the pursuit of solutions to a variety of hydroelectric power problems, including salmonoid fish recovery, facilities construction and renovation, and flood mitigation. In keeping pace with changing perspectives, the Lab has expanded its activities to encompass the related field of environmental fluid mechanics. Additional information about the department is available at http://www.ce.wsu.edu/. INITIAL SCREENING DATE - To ensure consideration, applications should be received by January 31, 1998; however, applications will be accepted until the position is filled. The appointment is expected to begin August 16, 1998. Please send your resume and the names and addresses of five references to: Dr. M.G.
