About Northeastern:

Founded in 1898, Northeastern is a global research university and the recognized leader in experience-driven lifelong learning. Our world-renowned experiential approach empowers our students, faculty, alumni, and partners to create impact far beyond the confines of discipline, degree, and campus.

Our locations—in Boston; Charlotte, North Carolina; London; Miami, Portland, Maine; Oakland; San Francisco; Seattle; Silicon Valley; Toronto; Vancouver; and the Massachusetts communities of Burlington and Nahant—are nodes in our growing global university system. Through this network, we expand opportunities for flexible, student-centered learning and collaborative, solutions-focused research.

Northeastern’s comprehensive array of undergraduate and graduate programs— in a variety of on-campus and online formats—lead to degrees through the doctorate in nine colleges and schools. Among these, we offer more than 195 multi-discipline majors and degrees designed to prepare students for purposeful lives and careers.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University seeks faculty candidates for tenure-track or tenured appointments at the assistant, associate, or full professor levels across the broad field of Atmospheric Engineering and Science. Appointments will be primarily in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering with potential for joint cross-department appointments in the Departments of Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering and joint cross- college appointments in the College of Science, Bouvé College of Health Sciences, and the College of Social Sciences and Humanities. Academic rank at the Associate Professor and Full Professor levels will be commensurate with experience and qualifications reflecting a record of demonstrated teaching and scholarly excellence.
