As part of a strategic initiative, coordinated across the university under the broad theme of Sustainability and Impacts of Climate Change, the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department seeks candidates for tenured or tenure-track appointments at the assistant, associate, or full professor.
We seek candidates who are conducting research that applies and develops experimental or computational methods and knowledge to advance Geotechnical Engineering for Sustainability and Climate Resilience. Academic rank at the Associate Professor and Full Professor levels will be commensurate with experience and qualifications reflecting a record of demonstrated teaching and scholarly excellence.
We seek applicants with expertise in geotechnical engineering related to:
(1) engineered geotechnical and nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation,
(2) geotechnical design and/or reconnaissance for extreme events, including natural hazards (such as earthquakes, hurricanes and land/mudslides), climate change induced hazards (such as sea-level rise), and their interaction,
(3) innovative design and characterization of geomaterials and foundations for sustainable infrastructure,
(4) novel geotechnical systems or site characterization to advance offshore/marine renewable energy infrastructure, or
(5) sustainability and resilience of natural and urban coastal systems and communities. Candidates that use data analytics or artificial intelligence as part of their research methodology are especially
encouraged to apply.
Requirements:
This tenure-track faculty position requires at least a Ph.D., or foreign equivalent, in civil engineering, environmental engineering, or a related field, by the employment start date.
For consideration at the Associate Professor level, applicants must have at least 2 years relevant experience. For consideration at the Full Professor level, applicants must have at least 3 years relevant experience. Relevant experience may include, but is not limited to: developing transformative solutions to global challenges; sustaining a research program with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary and translational research; teaching both undergraduate and graduate classes; and being an active, recognized leader nationally and internationally.
