TENURE-TRACK ASSISTANT PROFESSOR in HYDROLOGY

The Department of Earth and Environmental Science at Temple University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Hydrology, to begin in July 2026. The specialization within hydrology is flexible, but we especially welcome applications from individuals whose research will complement or further strengthen the department’s established expertise in hydrogeology, urban hydrology, hydrogeophysics, and ecohydrology. Prior experience or potential in teaching groundwater hydrology at undergraduate and graduate levels are not requisites but will be advantageous.

The successful candidate will develop a highly creative, externally funded research program, mentor graduate and undergraduate students, and teach undergraduate and graduate courses in geology/environmental science. Collaboration among faculty is strongly encouraged to leverage existing expertise in surface processes, human-environment interactions, sedimentary systems, energy, environmental and polar geophysics, ocean and climate modeling, geochemistry, and planetary geology. We strongly encourage collaboration both within the department and with other units across the university, including the Department of Computer and Information Science and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
