Tenured Faculty Position in Intelligent Infrastructure Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of California, Irvine

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Irvine invites applications for a tenured faculty position in Intelligent Infrastructure, with the possibility at either the Associate or Full Professor level, depending on the successful applicant’s level of experience and qualifications.

The Department offers B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in both Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering and currently has 22 full-time faculty members with expertise in structures, transportation and the environment. Focal points for research, in addition to faculty research laboratories, include the Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing, the Institute of Transportation Studies, the Structural Engineering Test Hall, the Urban Water Research Center, and the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology.

The Department seeks a forward-looking scholar-engineer to expand its expertise in intelligent civil infrastructure and strengthen its structures faculty cluster. The rapid evolution of “smart cities” necessitates increasingly monitored, networked and automated urban infrastructure that must be more responsive to societal priorities, environmental needs and resource constraints. Research areas under this theme include enhancing reliability and performance of infrastructure with novel materials, sensing and controls systems, lowering the carbon footprint of civil infrastructure, making civil infrastructure more resilient to extreme events, and expanding the functionality of civil infrastructure in new and creative ways that promote quality of life and sustainability, especially in urban areas. It is expected that successful candidates will first and foremost offer strong disciplinary expertise, but the Department is particularly interested in candidates who also offer interdisciplinary research experience spanning environmental, technological, behavioral and/or policy aspects of intelligent infrastructure. The Irvine campus affords excellent opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration with strengths in such areas as materials science, environmental science, biotechnology, public health, energy, economics, planning, business, law, communications, control, computer science, information sciences, and sensor design and fabrication, among others. Additionally, the southern California region is a natural laboratory for smart cities research and, through its many programs and labs, the Department regularly interacts with agencies that construct, operate and manage infrastructure systems.

This position represents an extraordinary opportunity to lead a research program at the forefront of smart cities research, in a dynamic and highly ranked public university located in a vibrant and growing mega-city, and with resource constraints (energy, water, air quality, ecosystem health) and significant natural hazards (earthquake, floods, and fire).

Candidates should possess a Ph.D. degree in civil engineering, structural engineering, systems engineering or a closely related field at the time of appointment, and be qualified to teach undergraduate and graduate engineering courses in civil engineering. For consideration at the Associate and Full Professor levels, candidates must demonstrate ground-breaking achievements in intelligent infrastructure research, a track record of successfully competing for major research grants, a dedication to excellence in education, and hold outstanding promise for future work.

To apply, candidates should submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of particular qualifications including teaching and research interests, and names and addresses of at least four references using the UC Irvine on-line application system: https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/apply/JPF02618.

Review of applications will begin in December 2014. To ensure full consideration, applications should be received by December 1, 2014. The search will continue until the position is filled.
