Assistant Professor Position in Pavement Infrastructure and Geomaterials

Assistant Professor Position in Pavement Infrastructure and Geomaterials Permanent, Tenure-Track Faculty Position

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Florida A&M University – Florida State University (FAMU-FSU) joint College of Engineering invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Geomaterials and Geotechnical Engineering. The successful candidate’s expertise is expected to complement and strengthen existing faculty research and teaching in civil and environmental engineering. Applicants should have expertise in one or more areas of geomaterials engineering, including but not limited to:

• Advanced pavement materials such as design and characterization of asphalt materials, application of nanotechnology or additive manufacturing in pavement materials, Smart and multi-functional pavement materials, recycling and reuse of pavement materials
• Climate change considerations in pavement engineering and sustainable geo-materials and coastal resilience.
• Pavement sustainability, green technologies, and life-cycle assessment

In addition, the successful candidate will demonstrate an understanding of the barriers preventing full participation of members from historically underrepresented and marginalized student communities in higher education. We expect to hire at the Assistant Professor rank, but exceptional candidates for the Associate Professor rank will be considered.

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is unique in combining two outstanding universities with overlapping but distinct missions—the nation’s top public Historically Black College/University and one of the nation’s Top 20 Public Universities and Highest Research Activity Universities. As such, we provide outstanding research and entrepreneurship-based education to one of the most diverse student populations in the U.S. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has a strong and growing reputation with a special focus on disaster resilience and sustainability, recently establishing the Center for Resilient Infrastructure and Disaster Response (RIDER). The successful candidate will join 21 full-time faculty members in a department with approximately 400 undergraduate and 80 graduate students.

Candidates must have an earned doctorate in civil and/or environmental engineering or a closely related field. Post-doctoral experience in related topic areas is preferred. The successful candidate is expected to establish and maintain a robust externally-funded research program, have a strong commitment to diversity and teaching excellence in undergraduate and graduate courses, and participate in college and professional service. Possession of a Professional Engineering (PE) License or the ability to obtain a Florida PE license is highly desirable.
