The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley is generating a new applicant pool of qualified temporary instructors and invites applications for a lecturer position to teach courses in our department in the areas of Energy, Civil Infrastructure and Climate; Engineering and Project Management; Environmental Engineering; Geoengineering; Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Materials; Systems (Civil Systems); and Transportation Engineering. The previous pool closed January 2018. Those interested in remaining in the pool must reapply.

Geo-Engineering Solutions Inc. is looking for entry to mid-level engineers and geologists to support our growing Geotechnical Engineering Practice in the Bay Area. We are seeking engineers and geologists with a BS in Civil Engineering or Geology with a MS preferred. Our projects include a mix of private and public development projects in a variety of site conditions from soft soil sites to liquefaction and hillside stabilization issues. In this capacity you would perform a variety of field and office activities including drilling and site investigations, construction observation, and engineering analysis. If you are interested, forward a resume and cover letter to ESwenson@Geo-Eng.net.

The City and County of San Francisco is seeking student interns for various engineering and architecture disciplines, to provide support to in-house Engineering · Architecture · Landscape Architecture · Planning · Surveying · GIS · IT staff. The City Departments that employ interns are the Airport Commission (SFO), Department of Building Inspection (DBI), Department of Technology (DT), Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA), Port of San Francisco (Port), San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), Public Works, and Recreation and Park Department (RPD). Interns will gain on-the-job experience under the guidance of experienced professional engineers, architects, planners and surveyors. Interns will participate in various activities in the respective City Departments.

The selected candidate will have opportunities to participate in a variety of research efforts, including:

• Experimental research studies, including initiating, designing, and conducting a variety of air pollution research studies,
• Analytical research studies, including estimating source impacts on local air quality and community exposures, personal exposure analysis, spatial analysis, and evaluation of emissions inventories, and
• Source apportionment and air quality modeling studies, including source characterization, land use regression modeling, and air pollution dispersion in local communities.

Candidates must have extensive experience in conducting experimental field studies, analyzing large datasets, statistical and numerical analysis, and knowledge of air quality and exposure modeling, and source apportionment tools. Strong knowledge and direct working experience with air pollution monitoring instrumentation is also desirable.

The Section is responsible for a variety of innovative research efforts, including large-scale experimental field studies using state-of-the-art tools like ARB’s state-of-the-art mobile measurement platforms, high fidelity air pollution and GHG research analyzers, and portable and low-cost air quality sensors to study real-world emission and exposure impacts of various emission sources. Some key projects include the California Statewide Methane Survey, emission flux estimation and inventory evaluation studies for local and regional GHG emission sources, personal exposure studies in commute modes and other microenvironments, community-level air pollution exposure studies with mobile and saturation monitors, and real-world on-road emission estimation from California freeways and other fleets. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to advise the agency on the impacts of adopted rules, prioritize source sectors for research and air pollution mitigating efforts, publish and present research findings at scientific venues, and build strategic research partnerships with national and international stakeholders. Some travel may be required.
