Job Details
The
Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental
Engineering at Drexel University welcomes applications for
a tenure-track assistant professor position with research and
teaching expertise at the intersections of water resources
engineering, geotechnical engineering, sustainability, and climate
change to build a dynamic and exciting interdisciplinary research
program across academic units within the college as well as other
schools and colleges throughout Drexel University. This position is
part of a cluster hire in the College of Engineering. Aligned with
the Drexel University
2030 strategic plan , the College of Engineering’s cluster hire
aims at strengthening Drexel’s identified areas of excellence. We
are specifically searching for candidates under the cluster hire
themes of Smart, Integrated Cities, and/or Energy and
Sustainability, with expertise in sustainable and/or
nature-based approaches to climate change resilience and adaptation
in the above research areas.
The successful candidate will be expected to further our educational mission by teaching select courses in the concentrations of water resources, hydraulics, geotechnical engineering, and/or geographic information systems at undergraduate and graduate levels. We invite applications from high-caliber candidates to build an innovative research program that will bring new insights and solutions to climate change adaptation planning, for instance in: water resources systems; hydraulic engineering; flood control and water hazard mitigation; river, coastal, and marine geotechnics; coastal and/or river erosion and sediment control; groundwater utilization; scour hazard mitigation for infrastructure resilience; stream ecology and ecohydraulics; and hydroclimatology.
Qualifications
The applicant must have a PhD in civil, hydraulic or hydrologic, water resources, geotechnical engineering, or closely related engineering field by the September 1, 2024 start date. Candidates must have a demonstrated record of and commitment to scholarly achievement and excellence. A professional engineering license, or plan to obtain one, is desirable but not required.
