The Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Arizona invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in one of the following three areas: Advanced Materials in Civil Engineering, Cyber-Physical Urban Engineering Systems, or Sustainable and Resilient Design and Construction. This position represents the first of a multi-year hiring process associated with planned growth in the Civil and Architectural Engineering programs, and is aligned with the Building a Changing World vision as a pillar within the University’s Strategic Plan. A job description for each the specific areas follow:
Advanced Materials in Civil Engineering . We seek to hire an assistant or associate professor with research interests in the area of innovative materials and evaluation methods. We are interested in applicants with expertise in one or more of the following: innovative material development; structural/material health monitoring; new efficient construction materials; and non-destructive evaluation. Emphasis in areas that will improve the sustainability and resilience of civil infrastructure is preferred. Examples of desirable expertise include, without being limited to: (i) design and development of new construction materials such as new composites and smart materials based on coupled advanced multiscale computational modeling and experimental characterization; (ii) Utilization of 3-D printing including large scale printing in development and application of new construction materials; and (iii) development and application of novel non-destructive evaluation methods for material characterization and health monitoring. Preference will be given to those candidates with a strong background in geotechnical engineering.
Cyber-Physical Urban Engineering Systems. We seek to hire an assistant or associate professor with research interests centered on the integration of computational and physical systems focused on urban engineering systems - defined as a multi-disciplinary field that addresses both the foundational principles and integrative outcomes of various inter-dependent elements composing a modern city. We are seeking a candidate with expertise in the development and/or utilization of distributed data networks to improve the understanding, maintenance, and/or operation of urban engineering systems. Successful candidates are expected to have expert knowledge in one or more aligned research areas including, but not limited to, connecting behavior with system response; integrated operation of multiple infrastructure systems; advanced networking and communication; integration with mobile data streams; big-data analytics; machine learning/AI; sensor technology, modeling and simulation of urban engineering system dynamics; and incorporation of uncertainty in all phases of analysis and design.
