Position description Assistant Professor in Environmental Chemistry The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Riverside invites applications for a full-time Assistant
Professor position in Environmental Chemistry to investigate the fate and transport of chemicals in soild and water, and to assess their effects on environmental health. This position will start on July 1, 2026. The faculty member is expected to conduct laboratory, field, and/or model-based research to understand chemical behavior, determine environmental risks, and develop sustainable mitigation strategies. While
all areas of environmental chemistry will be considered, preference will be given to applicants with training and interests in legacy and emerging organic contaminants, particularly those with implications for agricultural soils and food-producing systems. Potential research areas may include the identification and analysis of emerging contaminants (e.g., PFAS) and agrochemicals (e.g., pesticides) in environmental
media, determining mechanisms of transformation and transport, and characterizing bioaccumulation and non-target exposure of such contaminants. Candidates should demonstrate the potential to support a research program in environmental chemistry through competitive funding sources from state and federal agencies or foundations. Teaching: The faculty member is expected to contribute to teaching undergraduate and
graduate courses related to Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology. The UC salary consists of a base pay of $80,800 - $104,700 for Assistant Professors, with additional off-scale compensation commensurate with market value, qualifications, and experience.
