The University of Texas at Austin Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering (CAEE) invites applications for a tenure-track position at the assistant professor level. We seek outstanding candidates with a structural engineering background experienced in the analysis, design, and development of innovative structural systems. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Modular and adaptable structural forms;
  • Structures designed for accelerated construction or that utilize novel construction methods;

The successful candidate is expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses to a diverse student population in the CAEE department, develop a sustainable sponsored research program, mentor graduate students, collaborate with other faculty within and outside of the CAEE department and from a wide range of backgrounds, and be involved in service to the university and the profession. The ability to teach courses that relate to the behavior and design of concrete structures is preferred but not mandatory.

The department and the Cockrell School of Engineering are committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment. We are particularly interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research, and service activities.
