Position Summary
The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) and the Styslinger College of Engineering at The University of Alabama (UA) invite applications for a full professor position across the broad areas of architectural, civil, construction and environmental engineering for potential appointment to the Garry Neil Drummond Chair in Civil and Environmental Engineering or the Thad J. and Nona F. Gomillion Professorship in Civil Engineering. This is an exciting time at The University of Alabama—join us as we move our department, the College of Engineering and the University to the next level of excellence and impact.

Detailed Position Information
The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering (CCEE: https://cce.eng.ua.edu/) and the Styslinger 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 full professor position leading to possible appointment to the endowed Garry Neil Drummond Chair in Civil and Environmental Engineering or Thad J. and the Nona F. Gomillion Professorship in Civil Engineering. We are seeking a collaborative, collegial leader with a strong track record of building multi-disciplinary teams across the broad areas of architectural, civil, construction and environmental engineering.

Candidates with prestigious achievements in their field and exceptional national and international reputations will be eligible for consideration for significant endowment support through appointment as an Endowed Shelby Distinguished Professor (https://provost.ua.edu/the-shelby-endowment-for-distinguished-faculty/). These Endowed Shelby Distinguished Professor are one of the most prestigious honors bestowed upon faculty at The University of Alabama. Candidates wishing to be considered for such an appointment should indicate this in their cover letter.

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 offers ABET/EAC accredited B.S. degrees in Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, and Environmental Engineering. The department offers six minors in the areas of Architectural, Civil, Construction, Environmental and Water Resources, Structural and Transportation Engineering. The undergraduate programs have a sustained enrollment of nearly 800 students. At the graduate level, the CCEE department also has active MS and PhD programs in Civil Engineering and MS program in Environmental Engineering, with a total sustained graduate enrollment of nearly 120 students.

The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering and the Styslinger College of Engineering consider teaching, research, and service as the three critical and complimentary portions of their overall mission. Candidates must demonstrate a clear potential to successfully develop, lead, and extramurally fund a highly productive research group with significant scholarly impact in a focus area with long term potential to further build upon the rapid rise and great success of the CCEE department and the UA Styslinger College of Engineering. An ability to collaborate with existing faculty in the key focus areas both within the CCEE Department and the Styslinger College of Engineering, as well as potential colleagues across the campus, is also highly desirable.

The Styslinger College of Engineering and the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering also pride themselves on the outstanding educational experience provided to their students, and thus faculty candidates must demonstrate an ability to develop and teach courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in the faculty member’s area(s) of expertise as well as to teach courses that support the delivery and accreditation of the Department’s core degree programs.

The CCEE Department, Styslinger College, and University are also notable for the collegial, welcoming and supportive spirit built into the fabric of who we are and how we interact across our College family of students, faculty, and staff. It is therefore expected that candidates demonstrate an ability to support this important aspect of our community.
