The Department of Civil, Geological, and Environmental Engineering (CGEE) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) is seeking applications for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor in Geological Engineering, beginning Fall 2025. This position involves teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, developing a strong research program, obtaining funding, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, and contributing to departmental service.
Candidates must hold a BS in Engineering (preferably Geological Engineering from an ABET-accredited program) and a Ph.D. in Geological Engineering or a closely related field. Post-doctoral research and/or teaching experience in an undergraduate engineering program is highly preferred.
The department seeks expertise in any area of geological engineering but is particularly interested in candidates with experience in:
-Geophysics, GIS, and terrain analysis
-Conducting fieldwork with various methods, including geophysical data collection and analysis
-Geological engineering in cold and circumpolar/Arctic environments
The CGEE department, part of the UAF College of Engineering and Mines (CEM), offers two ABET-accredited undergraduate programs: Geological Engineering (since 1941) and Civil Engineering (since 1940). The GE program prepares students to mitigate geohazards, manage groundwater, ensure safe construction, and locate mineral resources. The CE program offers concentrations in Structures, Geotechnical, Environmental, Water Resources, Transportation, Arctic Engineering, and Engineering Design & Construction. Collaborative research opportunities are available within CEM, the Alaska Infrastructure Development Center (AIDC), the Institute of Northern Engineering (INE), and other UAF institutes.
Applications will be accepted for review on March 4, 2025, to ensure consideration, please apply by 11:55 PM, Alaska Standard Time on DAY BEFORE REVIEW DATE March 3, 2025.
