The CERC holder is expected to develop a large-scale research program on micropollutant control in line with the priorities set out for the CERC program. For example, and in a non-exclusive manner, the CERC may integrate research on the optimal chains of new physicochemical and biological treatment technologies capable of eliminating these pollutants (end-of-pipe) and evaluations of a variety of source control approaches. The development of indicators of the presence of micropollutants and the continuous monitoring of micropollutants with sensors based on specific detection methods are other examples. The implementation of the research program more specifically includes:

• Develop a major research program in the field of micropollutant control in water;


• Generate research results with major societal or scientific impact;


• Recruit and supervise staff;


• Recruit and mentor master's and doctoral students;


• Secure funding and establish research infrastructure;


• Establish partnerships and collaborations that demonstrate a leadership role at the national and international levels;

As a professor at Université Laval, the selected person will also:

• Contribute to the activities of the c-Eau Water Research Centre;


• Teach at the three university levels (an initial teaching release is planned) in the Department of Civil and Water Engineering. If applicable, French courses will be offered by Université Laval to enable the candidate to acquire the skills necessary to teach in French;


• Participate in internal and external academic activities that promote the reputation of the departments, the faculty, and the University.
