MSU seeks a dynamic and innovative individual to lead the Passaic River Institute. The Director will also serve as a tenure track Associate or Full Professor with a reduced teaching load within the College of Science and Mathematics, reporting directly to the Dean of the College as program Director and to the Chair of the home department. This combined director/faculty position requires an individual with vision and leadership skills, a deep research background in an area relevant to environmental and sustainability challenges in the Passaic River basin or comparable urban riverine and estuarine systems, a proven record of obtaining external funding, and a spirit of entrepreneurship and fund raising experience. He/she will be charged with obtaining external funding to pursue research in the river and/or river basin, organizing and hosting the biennial Passaic River Symposium, and working in cooperation with the Director of the Public Service Electric Gas (PSEG) Institute for Sustainability Studies (located adjacent to the PRI) to conduct outreach to the community, government and industry agencies, professional organizations, and the university campus. The candidate will be strongly encouraged to work with students in our bachelors, masters, certificate, and doctoral programs in Aquatic & Coastal Science, Biology, Environmental Forensics, Environmental Management, Environmental Studies, and Geoscience.

Minimum qualifications include a doctorate in a relevant STEM discipline, a record of scholarship appropriate to the rank of Associate or Full Professor, and demonstrated knowledge of the Passaic River or comparable urban river/estuarine system. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated ability to interact effectively with a broad range of constituents including members of the university community, federal and state agencies, industry, stakeholders, consultancies and the general public.

Information about the Passaic River Institute, departments within the College of Science and Mathematics, degree programs, and research facilities can be found at: http://csam.montclair.edu/pri/ and http://csam.montclair.edu/. Montclair State University is located 14 miles west of New York City on a beautiful 246-acre suburban campus. It is located within a dynamic watershed that serves as an environmental laboratory for multi-disciplinary opportunities. Additional information can be found on the MSU website at http://www.montclair.edu.

Electronic applications, including a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and contact information for at least three professional references should be sent combined in a single PDF or .doc file to Dr. Meiyin Wu at wum@mail.montclair.edu by December 15, 2011.

Applications are invited for the following full-time, tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant or associate professor level. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate a strong commitment to supervision of MASc and PhD students, and to excellence in teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. They will conduct independent scholarly research and attract strong external funding.

Applications should consist of detailed curriculum vitae, a statement concerning teaching and research interests and the names of at least three referees.

Relevant industrial experience is an asset. Excellent communication skills are required. Knowledge of French is an asset but not essential for an academic career at Concordia. Membership or eligibility for membership in a Canadian professional engineering association, preferably in the province of Quebec, is required.

Review of the applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled. Electronic applications are preferred and should be sent to the appropriate department contact by email no later than November 1, 2011. Only short-listed applicants will be notified.
