目前已有多个业界资深人士表达了兴趣。估计很快会有结果。

There is only one faculty in petroleum engineering program in UH..Others are adjunct facutly....It doesn't offer PHD degree in petroleum engineering in UH
Maybe the program has the potential to be developed but is very weak now

But have you checked the Chemical Engineering,Mechanical Engineering & Civil Engineering. These are the traditional source for college new hires for PE.

Also, there is one advantage of UH PE program that other schools lack. The UH graduate program targets the working professionals, therefore it offer the best networking experience.

BTW, in US, adjunct faculty members are not less qualified than full tenture professors. They can still be PhD students advisors.

One more thing you also need to know, for US citizens, a PhD degree in PE does not give them significant advantage regarding career development. In fact, in some cases, a PE PhD degree limits their career choices.

While it is fairly interesting for this program, and it seems that UH would like to hire someone, it is still questionable in many aspects:
(1) UT, TAMU, OU, PSU and MST are all hiring, which have established Ph.D program. How this would impact UH's effort?
(2) Why after years of hiring, the first faculty -- its current director -- was a geophysicist rather than a petrophysicist or petroleum engineer at all? Are there any politics or other issues?
(3) I was told that UH sent a couple of offers earlier this year -- I think they were Drs. Ayala and Zuleima at PSU but it seems that both finally chose to stay (and I think their intention was to find backup for tenure). Why?
(4) My friend told me that the current ChE department head was not nice at all. The hiring has been a mess in the past, i.e., they hired 5 junior faculty in ChE in the past 2 years while advising so much later and seemingly in a smaller scale. Is that true that the budget for PE professors was utilized first or what?

Conclusion: Is the department really wanting to hire recently AT ALL, or just a posture?

我知道有两个竞争者，都是工业界的。其中一个是中国人。

我猜测主要还是受UT Austin和A&M 的影响比较大。 两大PE排名前三的学校在旁边抢生源，抢教授，生意不好做啊。另外UH学校整体排名相对不是很有竞争力对于PE项目也有很大的影响。另外就是PE的教授比较缺乏，很多牛人都在工业界，尤其是大牛愿意到UH做教授的更难找。当然非常高兴看到最近一两年似乎UH PE项目有一定起色，希望假以时日能够跃进前五。
