Vacant position in water production and reuse at the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology
The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, located in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E., is a private, not‐for‐profit,independent, graduate‐level, research‐driven institute developed with the support and cooperation of theMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Starting Fall 2009, the Institute will offer graduate degree programsin science and engineering disciplines with a focus on advanced energy and sustainable technologies (for moreinformation, visit www.masdar.ac.ae and http://web.mit.edu/mit‐tdp/www/).
The Water & EnvironmentProgram at Masdar Institute has full‐time open‐rank (i.e., Full, Associate, or Assistant Professor) faculty positions inthe specialty area of advanced water production technologies. Sub‐areas of interest in this specialty includemembrane‐based desalination technologies (e.g., Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis [BWRO], Sea Water ReverseOsmosis [SWRO], Dual‐Staged NanoFiltration [NF/NF], Forward Osmosis [FO], and hybrid thermal/membranetechnologies such as Membrane Distillation [MD]), processes involving specialty water production for industry (i.e.,production of UltraPure Water [UPW], microelectronics rinse water, or United States Pharmacopeia [USP] gradewater) and water production/recovery from industrial and municipal wastewaters (e.g. RO/Deionization, ceramicmembrane modules, external and submerged Membrane BioReactors [MBRs], fouling‐resistant hydrophobicmembrane modules), and advanced water treatment process design with the goal of zero liquid discharge (ZLD).Job responsibilities include developing and teaching graduate‐level courses, supervising master’s and doctoralstudents, developing an externally funded research program, and participating in the Institute's service andoutreach activities. A PhD in Civil/Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or arelated discipline is required for this position. Post‐doctoral or industrial research experience is a plus. Applicationsubmittal information: Faculty candidates will be evaluated by the Masdar Institute and by the Technology andDevelopment Program at MIT.
Initial screening of applications will begin immediately and the positions will remainopen until filled. Application materials should include applicant name and contact information, a curriculum vitae,an application letter describing the applicant’s current position and how his/her experience matches the positionrequirements, and e‐mail contact information for three references.
