C-Crete is looking for Civil Engineers who will play key roles in manufacturing novel sustainable cementitious materials via CO2 mineralization and waste-to-product strategies across C-Crete’s project portfolio.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a Teaching Professor position to contribute to the transformation of the Department's curriculum by integrating innovative tools and emerging themes related to CEE. Hiring will be at the Assistant Teaching Professor level with security-of-employment granted upon promotion to Associate Teaching Professor.
Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley is educating leaders to address the most complex and significant societal-scale challenges, including infrastructure renewal, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and the engineering of sustainable, resilient, just, and equitable systems. The discipline is evolving to take on these forward-looking challenges while making use of modern computational tools and data science methodologies. The education of future engineers must match this perspective.
Berkeley CEE is looking for a faculty member to strongly contribute to the Department's efforts to transform its curricula to help meet these societal challenges and by leveraging the emergence of new approaches and tools to address them. We seek candidates who will contribute to teaching and curricular development from the lower-division undergraduate level to the graduate level. We are particularly interested in candidates who will develop and teach cross-cutting foundational courses in Computation and Data Science in the context of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Teaching-track faculty are educational professionals who combine institutional excellence with professional and/or scholarly achievement and activity, including creative activity, especially as they relate to instruction and pedagogy. Teaching Professors in the University of California system hold the payroll title of Lecturer with Security of Employment, or LSOE. LSOEs in the UC system have full faculty privileges and are members of the academic senate.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values in the College of Engineering. Our excellence can only be fully realized by faculty, students, and staff who share our commitment to these values. Successful candidates for our faculty positions will demonstrate evidence of a commitment to equity and inclusion. Financial and in-kind resources are available to pursue activities that help accelerate our efforts to achieve our equity and inclusion goals, with the full backing of the College. Examples of ongoing programming at the College are available at https://engineering.berkeley.edu/diversity.
The University is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including those of dual career couples and single parents. For information about potential relocation to Berkeley, or career needs of accompanying partners and spouses, please visit https://ofew.berkeley.edu/new-faculty.
Professor Amy Pickering is among 86 awardees, and 21 UC Berkeley faculty members, selected as new Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Investigators. The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator Program brings together faculty from Stanford University, UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley, funding innovative, visionary research to help solve critical challenges in biomedicine.
Professor Emeritus John A. Dracup passed away at his Santa Monica home on December 20, 2021, surrounded by family. He was 87 years old.
Dracup joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley in 2000, after serving for 35 years on the faculty at UCLA. As a hydrologist, Dracup's research centered on the impact of climate change on hydrolic processes, and the optimization of groundwater and large-scale river basin systems.
Course Capture allows instructors to record their classroom lectures for later viewing by students. The campus Course Capture service (Kaltura) is offered in 4 CEE managed classrooms: 406 Davis Hall, 502 Davis Hall, 544 Davis Hall, and 212 O'Brien. Course Capture service is also offered in many general assignment classrooms which can be viewed here: https://www.ets.berkeley.edu/classroom-database
The Course Capture service records the following components:
According to a new study by Professor Stefano Schiavon, women are inequitably impacted by air temperature in office settings. Published in Scientific Reports, the report finds that women are more likely than men to experience discomfort from overcooling, in which air conditioning systems cool down rooms more than is necessary. It concludes that there is a need to rethink the approach to air-conditioning office buildings, to both address this inequity and the energy expense from wasteful cooling.
