The University of Central Florida is looking for an Assistant Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering and an Assistant Professor or Associate Professor in Knights Digital Twin Strategic Initiative (KDT).
Assistant Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering:
The Department of Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering (CECE) at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando, Florida, invites applicants for multiple full-time, 9-month, tenure-earning assistant professor positions with an anticipated start date of August 8, 2025. CECE is looking for candidates that would strengthen the department’s research and teaching portfolio across the subdisciplines in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
The focus areas are:
1. Smart buildings, multi-scale modeling for extreme events, hybrid simulation and substructure simulation beyond seismic, offshore and on-shore wind and wave energy structures.
2. Concrete or geomaterials for sustainable infrastructure, soil-foundation-structure interaction under flooding, erosion conditions, or subjected to geoenvironmental hazards.
3. Infrastructure component and systems design, monitoring, maintenance and life cycle-management considering climate change, emergency management and community resilience under extreme events.
4. Environmental engineering systems to include water and wastewater infrastructure, physical-chemical processes such as advanced water and wastewater treatment processes (such as but not limited to oxidation, adsorption, aeration, membrane filtration and desalination), corrosion, residuals management, and waste to energy systems.
5. Coastal and water resources engineering, surface and subsurface hydrology/hydraulics in urban/coastal areas, hydroinformatics, decision making under deep uncertainty in the water/coastal sector, water policy.
6. Decision making frameworks and systems engineering for smart and resilient community/city operations based on sensor fusion, disaster metrology, physics-based models, machine learning, and user data.
7. Electric vehicle charging infrastructure, network optimization, emerging mobility systems (including TNC and micromobility), smart city applications related to transportation and infrastructure (e.g., connected/autonomous vehicle applications).

Assistant Professor or Associate Professor, Knights Digital Twin Strategic Initiative (KDT):
The University of Central Florida (UCF) has committed to the challenge of shaping the emerging digital worlds through the Knights Digital Twin Strategic Initiative (KDT). The KDT initiative capitalizes on UCF’s modeling and simulation (M&S) foundations and strengths to develop new collaboration and partnership paradigms to launch and scale research and business ventures that will enable us to address the new challenges of rapid and disruptive innovation. The vibrant Central Florida ecosystem houses the second largest research park in the country, has over 300 industry collaborators and partners in M&S and engineering in the region, and includes the space coast with emerging and rapidly growing commercial and government opportunities for partnerships.
Areas of applications include but are not limited to defense, national security, space operations, semiconductor fabrication, logistics and supply chains, transportation, and smart cities.
We invite applications from candidates with strong background in the following areas:
1. Modeling, Simulation, and Training (SMST): Real-time modeling, simulation and visualization; Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and data science; Computational Modeling; Brain-inspired AI and cognitive neuroscience.
2. Computer Science: Virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, Digital twin software architecture, Real-time computer graphics, Immersive data analytics, ML, and Generative AI algorithms and applications.
3. Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering: Digital twinning applications in water and coastal systems, structures and infrastructure, asset management, transportation, smart cities, geotechnical, and the environment including multi-scale simulation, visualization, sensing/monitoring, multi-physics and ML-based prediction approaches, and real-time or future human-infrastructure interaction.
4. Industrial Engineering and Management Systems: Digital twin for organizations/enterprises, and industrial and service operations (Industry 5.0). Model-based systems engineering for product life cycle. M&S for human-machine interactions and human neural signatures and brain-computer interfaces.
