IE University´s, School of Science and Technology invites applications for full-time tenure-track faculty positions in Environmental Technology. The successful candidates will join an interdisciplinary environmental science and technology area connected to the BSc in Environmental Sciences for Sustainability and to the broader research ecosystem of the School. The appointment starts in the academic year 2027-2028.
We seek outstanding junior or early mid-career scholars with a strong research trajectory, clear potential for international visibility, and the capacity to build externally funded research programs while contributing to high-quality teaching and student mentorship.
Candidates should be able to work across disciplinary boundaries and translate environmental science into technological, analytical, or decision-support solutions.
Priority Areas
The search is intentionally broad within the following priority areas:
- Environmental and Bioprocess Engineering: Transport phenomena, separations, reactor design, physical and reactive transport, process intensification,



pilot-scale environmental or bioprocess systems, and resource recovery.
- Ecohydrology, Hydrogeology and Water Management: Groundwater and catchment hydrology, contaminant transport, water reuse, drought and flood risk, soil-water-plant processes, monitoring, and process-based or spatial modelling.
- Experimental Environmental Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering: Experimental design-build-test-learn approaches for engineered strains or microbial consortia applied to pollutant transformation, C1/CO2 conversion, waste-to-value processes, resource recovery, and environmental bioprocess scale-up.
- Environmental Bioinformatics and Computational Biology: Emphasis on environmental and microbial genomics, including genome-resolved metagenomics, comparative and functional genomics, omics integration, protein or enzyme modelling, reproducible pipelines, FAIR data practices, and environmental technolog
