The University of Texas at Austin Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering (CAEE) invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in geotechnical engineering. All exceptional candidates with a geotechnical engineering background that support the CAEE strategic vision of developing innovative solutions to the interconnected problems of water, energy, and the growth of cities will be considered. However, candidates with a focus on computational geotechnics are particularly encouraged to apply. This includes applicants with expertise in computational simulations of geotechnical systems using advanced numerical techniques (e.g., finite element/finite difference methods, mesh-free methods, discrete element methods) and/or innovative constitutive models. The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in geotechnical engineering, develop a consistent sponsored research program, supervise graduate students, collaborate with other faculty, and be involved in service to the university and the profession.

The University of Texas at Austin Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering (CAEE) invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in environmental engineering with a focus on “wastewater engineering in the 21st century.” Research areas of interest include preparing for alternative downstream water uses; removing recalcitrant compounds and emerging micro-pollutants including nanomaterials; determination of biotransformation pathways of contaminant removal; recovery of nutrients, energy, or energy sources; biochar production from waste; reducing energy consumption; stemming the spread of antibiotic resistance; and the traditional requirements of removing carbon and nutrients. The analysis and optimization of the wastewater bioconsortia with the use of advanced bioanalytical approaches are also of interest to maximize treatment of and resource recovery from wastewater. The practice of wastewater engineering in the context of environmental sustainability requires an understanding of the underlying microbiology and chemistry, energy use and recovery, the ecological consequences of liquid, solid, and gaseous discharges, and knowledge regarding the appropriate application of these concepts to developed and developing countries. The successful candidate is expected to establish a well-funded research program that supports graduate students, bring excellence to classroom teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and be involved in service to the university and the profession.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applications for multiple full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty positions; all ranks will be considered. The Department seeks to expand its expertise in emerging interdisciplinary areas that are critical in addressing global challenges through innovative education and research. Desired areas of expertise for the positions are: 1) Optimization and Life-Cycle Performance for Large-Scale Structural Systems, 2) Geoengineering for Sustainable Urban and Off-Shore Development, 3) Synthetic Biology for Environmental Solutions, 4) Emerging Construction Materials for Buildings and Pavements, and 5) Sustainable and Smart Infrastructure and Multimodal Transportation.

The Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) at North Carolina State University (NCSU) expects to fill three positions over the next two years. The first position will be in the area of large scale structural engineering experimentation, while the other positions are expected to be in the broader civil engineering areas of structures, geotechnical, materials, and resilient infrastructure systems. In all cases, we seek individuals with strong domain expertise who have a demonstrated interest in working with colleagues within other areas of civil engineering (and/or across other disciplines) to be responsive to emerging research questions aimed at the betterment of civil infrastructure.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications for several tenuretrack faculty positions to begin July 2018 or thereafter. Appointments will be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level. The candidate should have demonstrated excellence in original research and demonstrate strong fundamental knowledge in a core area. Faculty responsibilities will include teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels, developing course materials, student advising, conducting original scholarly research, and supervision of student research. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. by the beginning of employment.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at The Pennsylvania State University invites applications for two tenure-line faculty positions at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in the areas of: 1) structural engineering and mechanics, 2) geotechnical engineering, and 3) transportation engineering. Beyond the specific area of activity, the applicant’s intellectual depth and promise for high-quality research and teaching are top priorities. Individuals with demonstrated abilities to collaborate across disciplines especially are encouraged to apply. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree in civil engineering, or closely related discipline. The new hires will teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and are expected to enhance the department’s existing curriculum. Applications should be received by November 6, 2017 for full consideration; however, review of applications will continue through December.

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.
