Branko Kerkez (CE PhD '12) and Dan Work (CE PhD '10) were selected as NAE Gilbreth Lecturers this year. Both will make presentations on their research at NAE's annual meeting.
The Gilbreth Lectures were established to recognize outstanding young American engineers.
CEE Professor and Institute for Transportation Studies Director, Alexandre Bayen, is interviewed in a CBS KPIX segment on Bay Area Traffic.
“Demand has risen so much in California, that, in a sense, we have reached capacity. We can’t build more freeway lanes, we can’t build double-deckers, it’s just not possible,” said Bayen.
“Ultimately, one has to regulate traffic,” said Bayen. “The reason people use the road so much is because the road is free.”
CEE MS student Daniel Gaspar Rodriguez volunteered with the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center to be part of the engineering response team in the post-earthquake field investigations of the Mexico City Earthquake (Sept.19 2017 | M=7.1).
The Berkeley team collaborated with engineering response teams from the Colegio de Ingenieros de Mexico, Degenkolb Engineers, and the Colombian Earthquake Engineering Research Network (CEER).
BTE has an immediate opening for a full time professional in its Folsom, CA office. BTE provides stimulating, professional challenges, professional development opportunities, competitive compensation and benefits. BTE is a specialty consulting engineering firm located in Folsom, CA that has spent over 20 years focusing 100% on the design of pipeline projects using trenchless construction methods. Trenchless construction involves installation of utility pipelines using various tunneling and boring methods to limit impacts to sensitive features, such as roads, waterways, and existing structures. The firm specializes in all aspects of design, including feasibility studies, full design services, and construction management services. The candidate will work in the Folsom office and at various project field locations.

A Civil Engineering Assistant is responsible for the following essential functions: prepares plans, specifications and cost estimates for minor flood control or road maintenance projects such as retaining walls, parking lots and similar projects utilizing commonly used software applications and specialized engineering software applications such as Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD); assists in field investigations and studies and in the preparation of preliminary and final plans, specifications, and cost estimates for a variety of construction and maintenance engineering projects such as drainage and wastewater systems, dams, mountain roads, highways, street lighting and water distribution systems, debris basins, storm drains, spreading grounds, and other flood control and water conservation facilities; performs calculations requiring knowledge of algebra, trigonometry, calculus, elementary mechanics, strength of materials, statics, geodesy, and structural analysis; assists in conducting hydraulic and hydrologic studies to determine design criteria and operational requirements for flood control and water conservation structures; compiles data for and assists in making studies or tests relating to the location, size and capacity of other engineering structures or facilities; and assists in the review portions of plans for engineering structures prepared by other public agencies or by private firms to determine if they conform to department standards and practices and sound engineering principles.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is seeking visionary individuals who are integrating structural engineering, resilient infrastructure, fluid-structure interactions, and structural informatics and machine learning to address the sustainable infrastructure challenges of the 21st century. Our department seeks to enhance its integrative research and educational programs. We are especially interested in candidates with a background in fluid-structural interactions, structural informatics and machine learning, multiscale modeling, multi-disciplinary optimization, and dynamics and controls. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering invites applications for a full-time tenuretrack faculty appointment with an anticipated start date of Fall 2018. The rank of Assistant Professor is targeted, but all ranks will be considered. Applicants are expected to have a doctoral degree in Structural Engineering or related discipline.
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.
