The EPFL School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering

(ENAC) invites applications for a tenure track Assistant Professor of Physical

Limnology in the Institute of Environmental Engineering (IIE).

The new professor will be a member of the Limnology Center (LIMNC) and

the Center for Climate Impact and Action (CLIMACT), and will have access

to the multi-institutional experimental platform for limnological research LéX-

PLORE, located on Lake Geneva near EPFL.

We seek applicants with acknowledged research expertise on physical pro-

cesses in inland surface waters and their response to natural and anthro-

pogenic impacts. Particularly welcome are candidates with research inter-

ests that include the impacts of climate change on aquatic environments.

We also encourage applications from candidates whose research vision

encompasses the quantitative interdisciplinary connections between

physical, chemical and biological processes that contribute to ecosystem

services provided by lakes and other inland water bodies.

The appointee is expected to lead an internationally recognized research

program in physical limnology that leverages the opportunities offered by

EPFL. The professor will be committed to excellence in undergraduate and

graduate level teaching, and will contribute to the Environmental Engineer-

ing program, which emphasizes basic and translational research as the

foundation for environmental adaptation and engineering design.

EPFL, with its main campus located in Lausanne, on the shores of Lake

Geneva, is a dynamically growing and well-funded institution fostering

excellence and diversity. It is well equipped with experimental and compu-

tational infrastructure, and offers a fertile environment for research collab-

oration between various disciplines. The EPFL environment is multilingual
