The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) and the Lee J. Styslinger Jr. College of Engineering at The University of Alabama (UA) invite applications for an Assistant Professor position in the research area of Resilience Engineering (including focus areas in geotechnical and construction).

The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering (CCEE: (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).) and the Lee J. Styslinger Jr. College of Engineering (SCoE: ) at The University of Alabama (UA: ) invite applications for multiple tenure-track and tenured faculty positions at all ranks, including Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor levels, within the CCEE department.

This posting is specific for candidates applying for a position at the rank of tenure-track Assistant Professor in the research area of Resilience Engineering. Applications from candidates with appropriate experience and a strong record of scholarly productivity and impact within other research areas who would seek appointment at the rank of Associate or Full Professor should apply through related postings advertised at those other position/rank levels.

Towards achieving excellence in all our efforts, the CCEE department and the Styslinger College of Engineering seek to hire faculty that can contribute to both: (1) build upon existing strengths in the Department, College, and University and (2) expand the scope of research within the department, College, and UA as a whole.

The CCEE Department is seeking candidates in the research area of Resilience Engineering (including focus areas in geotechnical and construction). Candidates should be focused on advancing sustainable, adaptable and resilient infrastructure systems through geotechnical/geoengineering or construction engineering/management. Demonstrated expertise in areas such as: creating innovative solutions that enhance the resilience of the built and natural environment; novel processes, materials and technologies to reduce embodied and operational carbon in infrastructure;

sustainable approaches to mitigate hazards and improve resilience; digital transformation and data-driven methods, including sensing technologies, cyber-physical systems, and real-time health monitoring of infrastructure and geo-systems; geotechnical hazard mitigation including soil-structure interaction, slope stability, ground improvement, and seismic/climate resilience; and integration of safety and risk management in construction and geotechnical systems under extreme conditions.

The CCEE department offers ABET/EAC accredited B.S. degrees in Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, and Environmental Engineering. The department offers six minors in the areas of Architectural, Civil, Construction, Environmental and Water Resources, Transportation, and Structural Engineering. The undergraduate programs have a sustained enrollment of nearly 800 students. At the graduate level, the CCEE department also has active MS and PhD programs in Civil Engineering and MS program in Environmental Engineering, with a total sustained graduate enrollment of nearly 120 students.

The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering and the Styslinger College of Engineering consider teaching, research, and service as the three critical and complimentary portions of their overall mission. Candidates must demonstrate a clear potential to successfully develop, lead, and extramurally fund a highly productive research group with significant scholarly impact in a focus area with long term potential to further build upon the rapid rise and great success of the department college.

An ability to collaborate with existing faculty in the key focus areas both within the CCEE Department and the college, as well as potential colleagues across the campus, is also highly desirable.
