Part-time Adjuncts will also be considered. CMU aims to attract exceptional candidates at any career stage who have expertise and interests in applying technology—particularly in computational modeling, digital twins, data analytics, and AI—across the broad areas of civil and environmental engineering.
This position is intended for professionals with diverse industry experience and technical expertise who can bring real-world insights to CEE’s online certificate programs, which includes our inaugural “Certificate in AI Engineering - Digital Twins & Analytics.” The successful candidate will play a key role in connecting academia with industry, helping students prepare for successful careers in CEE within today’s interdisciplinary landscape. Depending on the candidate’s interests and motivation, the position may be full-time or part-time, and adjunct positions may be considered. For the part-time or adjunct role, responsibilities include implementing pre-developed online courses. The expected workload for the part-time position is approximately 15 hours per week.

Candidates should hold an advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Civil and/or Environmental Engineering or a related discipline and demonstrate the potential to integrate their professional practice with the CEE’s educational, research, and outreach programs. The ideal candidate will have experience leading industry projects that involve the implementation of sensing technologies, data analytics, computing systems, and/or AI. Additionally, they should have experience developing strategies and visions as an industry leader.
CEE at CMU is ranked among the top programs in the nation for both undergraduate and graduate studies according to the latest USNWR rankings. CMU offers a distinctive interdisciplinary education and research program that encompasses activities in sensing, control, information modeling, and visualization of infrastructure and environmental systems.
We are deeply committed to all members of our community—students, faculty, and staff. Our vision is to reimagine civil and environmental engineering through innovative leadership in education and research, integrating systems thinking and new technologies, and empowering a diverse community of socially conscious problem solvers to lead the world to a sustainable, resilient, equitable, and inclusive future. Our mission is to inspire and educate the next generation of engineers and to conduct engineering science and technology research that addresses important societal challenges. We strive to achieve this with the highest dedication to quality, integrity, and respect for others. We are particularly interested in applicants who are committed to and have a passion for fostering a culturally diverse environment in both research and teaching, and who are eager to strengthen the culture of inclusivity at CMU.

Company
Carnegie Mellon University challenges the curious and passionate to imagine and deliver work that matters.
A private, global research university, Carnegie Mellon stands among the world's most renowned educational institutions, and sets its own course.
Carnegie Mellon was founded in 1900 by Andrew Carnegie under the premise that a school established to foster and develop the technical skills of its students would soon produce students and graduates whose work would astound Pittsburgh and the world. Over 120 years later, our institution continues to produce talented alumni and draws faculty and staff eager to be a part of the university's creative, passionate and close-knit community. We place emphasis on practical problem solving, interdisciplinary learning, an entrepreneurial spirit, and collaboration.
Over the past 10 years, more than 400 startups linked to CMU have raised more than $7 billion in follow-on funding. Those investment numbers are especially high because of the sheer size of Pittsburgh’s growing autonomous vehicles cluster – including Uber, Aurora, Waymo and Motional – all of which are here because of their strong ties to CMU.
With cutting-edge brain science, path-breaking performances, innovative startups, driverless cars, big data, big ambitions, Nobel and Turing prizes, hands-on learning, and a whole lot of robots, CMU doesn't imagine the future, we create it.
Pittsburgh is home to over 86,000 students from 10 colleges and universities. Pittsburgh was ranked as one of the top U.S. cities for millennials.
Some 177,000 people work in Pittsburgh's tech-related industries, and their ranks continue to grow as the city tops lists for jobs. Networking opportunities, small business accelerators, and an innovative community make the city appealing to entrepreneurs, especially recent graduates.
Pittsburgh is emerging as a tech and culture hub that The Washington Post praises for its "world-class art museums and colorful neighborhoods."
Robotics and software engineering lead the way. The city is home to Google, Uber and Apple offices and a budding ecosystem of tech startups including Duolingo, Modcloth and 4Moms, all of which have CMU roots.
Many seek Pittsburgh for being a hot spot for entrepreneurship and a model for future cities. Others come for the city's burgeoning food scene.
