New Faculty Position

 

THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA Water Technologies for Emerging Regions (WaTER) Center invites applications to fill a tenure-track faculty position in Sanitation Technologies and Approaches for Emerging Regions.  This new position reflects the strong commitment of the University of Oklahoma to expand the pioneering work of the OU WaTER Center (WaTER.ou.edu) in response to the UN Millennium Development Goals (specifically Target 7.c).

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests, and the contact information of three references to: Sanitation Technology/Approaches Search Chair; School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science; The University of Oklahoma; 202 W.
