Rank
Associate Professor

Position Summary
The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) and the Lee J. Styslinger Jr. College of Engineering at The University of Alabama (UA) invite applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at the Associate Professor rank. Candidates with research and teaching experience in the areas of architectural engineering, construction engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering and structural engineering are of particular interest.

Detailed Position Information
The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering (CCEE: https://cce.eng.ua.edu/) and the Lee J. Styslinger Jr. College of Engineering (SCoE: https://eng.ua.edu/) at The University of Alabama (UA: https://ua.edu/) invite applications for multiple tenure-track and tenured faculty positions at all ranks, including Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor levels, within the CCEE department.

This posting is specific for candidates applying for a position at the rank of tenure-track Associate Professor. Candidates with research and teaching experience in the areas of architectural engineering, construction engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering and structural engineering are of particular interest. Candidates should clearly indicate their specific domain area in their cover letter in bold text.

Applications from candidates with appropriate experience and a strong record of scholarly productivity and impact within other research areas who would seek appointment at the rank of Assistant or Full Professor should apply through related postings advertised at those other position/rank levels.

Toward achieving excellence in all our efforts, the CCEE department and the Styslinger College of Engineering seek to hire faculty that can contribute to both: (1) build upon existing strengths in the Department, College, and University and (2) expand the scope of research within the department, College, and UA as a whole.

The CCEE Department is seeking candidates in the domain areas of:
 Architectural Engineering;
 Construction Engineering and Management;
 Geotechnical Engineering;
 Transportation Engineering; and
 Structural Engineering
To aid potential candidates in better understanding these areas of emphasis in the current search, the following additional information is provided regarding these five subareas:

Architectural Engineering – Candidates should have demonstrated expertise in areas such as: indoor air quality assessment and improvement strategies for enhanced occupant health and comfort; advanced lighting design and controls for energy efficiency, visual comfort, and well-being; acoustic performance and sound control in building environments; integration of acoustics, air quality, and lighting systems within sustainable building designs; applied thermodynamics, heat transfer, and mechanical systems engineering applied to distributed energy technologies in facilities and/or community-scale energy applications; and applied research in these areas to improve environmental quality in residential and commercial buildings.

Construction Engineering - Candidates should have demonstrated experience in areas such as: development of novel processes and technologies in the construction industry to reduce embodied and operational carbon emissions; optimization of recycling and reuse during the project life cycle; development of novel sensors and networks for health monitoring and fault detection; digital transformation of the built environment at network and city scales to support decision making for sustainable and resilient infrastructure systems; data-driven approaches to convert passive civil infrastructure assets into live cyber-physical systems; construction and work zone safety innovations and applications; and construction safety and health under extreme conditions.

Geotechnical Engineering – Candidates should have expertise in one or more areas of geotechnical engineering, with primary interests in one of the following: sustainable geo-infrastructure, numerical geotechnical engineering, geotechnical hazard mitigation, geo-environmental engineering, foundation engineering, soil-structure interaction, slope stability, ground improvement techniques, unsaturated soil mechanics, and emerging fields such as bio-geotechnics, energy geotechnics, geothermal engineering, and carbon sequestration.

Structural Engineering – Candidates should have demonstrated expertise in one or more of the following: large-scale experimental testing; development and applications of advanced computational methods and emerging technologies
