The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University invites applicants for a tenure track faculty position in Earth Surface Engineering and Intelligent Geotechnical Systems. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, earth resource engineering; assessment and mitigation of hazards due to natural and/or anthropogenic seismicity; protection of coastal systems; multi-physics of soils, rocks and granular media; sensor technology; construction automation; remote sensing and monitoring of geo-technical systems. Candidates at all levels will be considered. Applicants with an earned Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, or a related discipline, who possess strong teaching skills and the ability to establish a well-funded program of independent and collaborative research are encouraged to apply.

The Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is searching for faculty candidates in the areas of structural engineering and construction materials. Application and nominations for tenure-track or tenured faculty positions at all levels are requested. The USC Viterbi School of Engineering is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty and welcomes applications from women, underrepresented groups, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. We are interested in exceptional candidates at all levels. We expect all candidates to have a strong commitment to research, doctoral student mentoring, and teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants should have a doctorate in civil engineering or a related field of study, and those applying for Associate Professor or Professor ranks must have a well-established academic records. The intellectual depth, innovation, and promise of the candidates are of higher priority than their specific research area; however, a strong experimental research emphasis is desired. Some areas of specific interest include: (1) characterization of construction materials at different levels of observation, (2) evaluation of existing infrastructure under environmental aging, (3) repair and rehabilitation of aged infrastructure using new techniques and materials, and (4) development of new sustainable construction materials including green concrete.

Areas of specific interest within Smart Civil and Environmental Engineering Systems
include enabling adoption of autonomous systems, intelligent controls, urban informatics,
resilient infrastructure, and problem-centric applications of innovative technologies (e.g.,
robotics for disaster relief, construction, or infrastructure management). Research
applications can be in any domain of civil and environmental engineering, however the
candidates should have demonstrated expertise in national and societal priority areas that
relate to the highly interdisciplinary 21st century urban engineering and sustainability
challenges. Applicants building upon broad disciplinary backgrounds, for example in
other engineering fields, computational sciences, earth sciences, or environmental health,
are particularly encouraged to apply.

Support projects from the planning phase through closeout. Specific deliverables are expected to
include:
• Engineering studies and alternatives analyses;
• Functional requirements and design criteria documents;
• Pre-conceptual and conceptual designs/concept sketches;
• Procurement specifications;
• Statements of work for detailed engineering designs;
• Initial project schedule development for engineering deliverables;
• Oversee design subcontractors;
• Design reviews;
• Engineering support during construction including field walk downs, issue resolution, and
design changes;
• Interface with internal and external customers andend-users;
• As-builts and project closeout.
