We have an opening for a tenure-track position in Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia university in NYC with a focus on water and/or energy: myscience.org/jobs/id2398286….
We are especially looking for diverse and innovative candidates.

More than 70% of NYC can't absorb rainfall, leading to flash floods. Besides engineering solutions that will have to be maintained, upgraded, or replaced, 'we need a long-term vision,' says Columbia Climate School LDEO expert Klaus Jacob. Via Gothamist. gothamist.com/news/cloudburs…
