SER is an interdisciplinary school within the University of Wyoming focused on energy-driven economic development for the state of Wyoming. SER faculty are expected to pursue their research as well as work in collaborative teams with other faculty, research scientists, and SER's industry partners to address state needs. SER seeks to build expertise in the areas of separation, extraction, and process engineering to complement current strengths in related fields.

The ideal candidate will have respectful interactions with others and work collaboratively with colleagues to address energy-relevant technologies.
