Tenure Line Faculty in Water Resources Ingram School of Engineering at Texas State Un

The Ingram School of Engineering invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the ranks of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor. This position is directly supported and motivated by the University’s Run to R1 strategic initiative, which seeks to elevate Texas State University to a “Very High Research Activity” (Research-1) status. The school’s priorities are fully aligned with the university’s Road to R1 goals, ensuring strong institutional support, access to advanced research infrastructure, and expanded opportunities for securing significant external funding.

The Ingram School of Engineering seeks to strengthen its research portfolio in Water Resources, one of the university’s strategic research areas.

The successful candidate will be expected to:

• Increase the research capabilities of the Ingram School of Engineering in Water Resources.
• Demonstrate a strong commitment to student-centered teaching and mentorship at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
• Collaborate with faculty across the Ingram School of Engineering, the College of Science and Engineering, and other Texas State departments.
• Contribute to curriculum and program development.
• Build partnerships with external stakeholders, including industry professionals, government agencies, national labs, and corporations.
• Engage in university and professional service and participate in shared governance of the school.

The candidate is expected to possess expertise in one or more of the following research areas:

• Hydic Engineering & Hydro-Environmental Processes: Surface water, groundwater, watershed hydrology, surface–subsurface interactions, reactive transport, water quality, and environmental and geophysical fluid mechanics.
• Hydraulic & Water Infrastructure Systems: Flow systems, hydraulic structures, sustainable infrastructures and urban system, stormwater and urban drainage, sediment transport, morphodynamics, and resilient/ energy-efficient water infrastructure.
• Water Treatment & Circular Water Management: Water and wastewater treatment, smart-sensor-enabled monitoring, low-energy desalination, aquifer storage and recovery, precision/smart irrigation, and one-water sustainability strategies.
• Climate Extremes & Hydroclimatic Impacts: Floods, droughts, extreme weather, climate-driven water risks, (AI augmented) climate- resilient water systems, water-energy nexus, and coupled water–energy systems.
• Data-Driven & Technology-Enabled Water Engineering: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) modeling, remote sensing, smart sensing networks, advanced controls, and hybrid physics–data approaches for monitoring, forecasting, and engineering water systems.
