Linfeng Fan

Research Fellow School of Environmental Science and Engineering

Linfeng FAN, PhD in Environmental Science at ETH Zurich (Switzerland), MSc in Engineering Geology at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Acedamy of Sciences. His research interests include: (1) Surface water-groundwater-climate interactions; (2) Water-Food-Energy nexus; (3) Rainfall-induced landslide triggering. He aims to improve the understanding of the water-energy cycles in the Earth system and its relevance to human society. His resaerch tools include mainly numerical models supplemented by field observations and laboratory experiments.

Southern University of Science and Technology (known as SUSTech) (http://www.sustech.edu.cn/en) is a public university founded in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone of China. It is intended to be a top-tier international university that excels in interdisciplinary research, nurturing innovative talents and delivering new knowledge to the world. SUSTech is conducting a global search for talented faculty who are also innovators and trailblazers. Founded since 2015, the School of Environmental Science and Engineering at SUSTech aspires to become a center of excellence for cutting-edge and multidisciplinary environmental research. We invite applications for tenure-track and tenured faculty positions in broadly defined environmental science and engineering. Research areas include but are not limited to: hydrology and water resource engineering, water pollution and treatment, atmospheric chemistry, air pollution control, solid waste utilization, ecosystem assessment, environmental remote sensing, and global change. Positions are immediately available at all ranks. Highly competitive salaries and start-up packages will be provided. The successful candidates will have great opportunities to advance environmental research in China as the country faces up to enormous challenges in achieving environmental sustainability.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in a water, air, or earth system related discipline. Candidates must have a proven track record of high-quality scientific publications and must have excellent communications skills. Those interested are invited to apply by submitting the following material electronically to iese@sustech.edu.cn: 1) Curriculum Vitae (with a complete list of publications); 2) Statement of research interests; 3) Statement of teaching philosophy; 4) Selected reprints of three recent papers; and 5) Names and contact information of five references. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.
