The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Houston seeks an exceptional scholar to expand its research and educational programs in environmental engineering at the rank of Assistant Professor. Areas of particular research interest include, but are not limited to, air quality engineering; environmental sensing and monitoring; indoor air quality and the built environment; emerging environmental pollutants; resource recovery and reuse; and environmental and community health.

Candidates whose research integrates advanced sensing technologies, artificial intelligence, data analytics, or data-driven modeling with experimental or field-based environmental engineering are especially encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will have opportunities to develop collaborations with researchers across the University in environmental engineering, atmospheric sciences, public health, data science, energy, materials, and related areas and to utilize shared Departmental, College, and University research facilities.

The successful candidate will contribute to undergraduate and graduate education in environmental engineering, including

In-brief analysis

October 7, 2026

We expect energy expenditures this winter to vary because of diverging trends in energy prices among fuels and regional variation in forecast temperatures. We expect that lower prices for natural gas and propane will drive decreases in expenditures this year for the half of U.S. households heating with those fuels. Higher prices for electricity and heating oil drive increased expenditures for households heating with those fuels in our forecast.

Although we expect national average temperatures to be similar to last winter, our forecast assumes warmer temperatures in the Northeast, following a relatively cold winter last year, and much colder temperatures in the West, following an unusually warm winter last year. Temperatures in the Midwest and South are similar to last year.

Homes that use heating oil as their main heating fuel—about
