masters, professional, and doctoral degree programs to over 42,000 students.
As one of South Florida's anchor institutions, FIU is worlds ahead in its
local and global engagement and is committed to finding solutions to the
most challenging problems of our times.

The Department of Environmental & Occupational Health within the Robert
Stempel College of Public Health and Social Work (RSCPHSW) at Florida
International University seeks a highly motivated individual for a
non-tenured Assistant Scholar/Scientist/Engineer (with a working title of
Assistant Professor of Research) in the area of water supply, sanitation and
hygiene . Although the selected applicant will hold an appointment in the
College of Public Health & Social Work, the selected applicant will be
expected to devote substantial efforts in support of projects within the
Global Water for Sustainability (GLOWS) Program. The GLOWS program is a
consortium led by Florida International University (FIU) and financed by the
United States Agency for International Development (USAID) working to
increase social, economic, and environmental benefits to people of
developing countries through on–the-ground implementation of integrated
water supply, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services, improvement of water
management practices, and building of local capacity. As part of this
interdisciplinary effort, the College of Public Health & Social Work now
invites applications for an Assistant Professor of Research in water supply,
sanitation and hygiene.

FIU is ranked as a Research University in the High Research Activity
category of the Carnegie Foundation's prestigious classification system. The
mission of the RSCPHSW is to enhance the public's health by conducting
innovative research, training future leaders and health professionals from
diverse backgrounds, translating research into policy and practice, and
serving our local communities as well as communities around the world,
especially in Latin America and the Caribbean.

have the ability to travel internationally. He or she should be able to

English and French in a timely manner. Excellent written and oral
communication skills in French are necessary, since more than 50% of the

multi-agency water related development projects and/or policies and strategy
is required. The candidate will be expected to have a strong interest or
experience in conducting interdisciplinary research, experience in
