CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT (CE&M) FACULTY POSITION, DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering invites applications for a continuing-track faculty position in Construction Engineering and Management (CEM) at the assistant professor level starting Fall 2023.

The successful candidate will be responsible for implementation, development, and refinement of core program technical classes in CEM and select engineering foundation classes.

The successful applicant will assume a continuing-track position which will be primarily teaching and service-oriented. As such, the candidate is expected to develop and deliver technical courses in the CEM curriculum, to mentor students and advise student organizations, to liaise with industry partners and program stakeholders, and to maintain involvement in scholarly and/or professional activities. It is desired for the successful applicant to have comprehensive knowledge and experience in construction engineering and management through a combination of formal education and practical experience. Education will have culminated with an earned research-oriented doctoral degree in Construction Engineering and/or Management or equivalent. Credentials such as LEED AP/ PE/ and OSHA certified Outreach Trainer are highly desirable.
