The department offers undergraduate programs in Earth & Environmental Sciences and in Environmental Engineering. The B.S. in Environmental Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET.

The successful applicant would be expected to complement the existing science and engineering faculty in teaching, research, and/or service program with undergraduate students as an integral component.
Candidates must have earned a master's degree in environmental engineering or a related field at the time of appointment though an earned or nearly earned Ph.D is preferred. Professional experience in environmental engineering or a closely related field will be considered favorably. Candidates with expertise or relevant experience in hands-on experimentation in areas such as solid waste management, air quality, water and wastewater treatment, and environmental sciences is desired. However, candidates with other relevant experience will also be considered. The successful applicant would be expected to primarily teach and assist in developing a research and/or service program for undergraduate students. The successful candidate must have the ability to provide outstanding classroom, laboratory, and in-field instruction for environmental engineering/science courses.
