Open faculty positions at Georgia Tech

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (www.cee.gatech.edu) at the Georgia Institute of Technology invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions in the areas of Construction and Infrastructure Systems Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Geosystems Engineering.

Applicants will be considered at all ranks, with a preference for the Assistant Professor rank, in the following particular areas:

• In Construction and Infrastructure Systems Engineering (CISE), one priority area focuses on generative AI in Construction to enable smart, sustainable, resilient, and healthy built environments that enhance societal quality of life. The areas of particular interest include Metaverse, Digital Twins, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), human-building interaction, human-technology interaction, lifecycle analysis of infrastructure, and Automation & Robotics. Areas of specific teaching interest focus on core construction engineering and management topics, including BIM, scheduling, cost estimating, construction law, and innovation in construction.
• In Environmental Engineering (ENVE), we are seeking candidates in areas aligning with our strategic focus on local, regional, and global-scale air quality with engineering linkages to policy, control, and health. Particular emphasis is given to the topic of climate change and its atmospheric impacts. This area addresses the CEE cross-cutting themes of Healthy Communities and Sustainable Systems, as well as the grand challenges in environmental engineering identified by the 2019 National Academies report.
• In Geosystems Engineering (GEO), we are seeking candidates with emphasis on geomechanics in the context of climate change, sustainable/resilient urban geotechnics, as well as new developments in novel sensing, testing or data analysis techniques associated with infrastructure construction and/or performance under normal and extreme loading. 

Outstanding faculty candidates in other areas of Civil Engineering including Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Materials (SEMM), Transportation Systems Engineering (TSE), and Water Resources Engineering (WRE) will also be considered. Candidates are expected to demonstrate an exceptional commitment to the teaching and mentoring of students.

Minimum and Preferred Qualifications

An earned doctorate is required by the start of the appointment. Successful candidates have an exemplary track record of research accomplishments as well as expertise or demonstrated interest in teaching and mentoring a diverse student body and service.

Application Requirements

Applicants should submit: (1) a cover letter of application indicating the area of interest; (2) curriculum vitae; (3) a statement of research interests; (4) a description of teaching interests as well as your advising/mentoring philosophy, (5) in two pages or less, please outline how your professional and academic experiences have prepared you to support and apply Georgia Tech’s mission and values; and (6) the names and contact information for at least three references.

Application materials should be submitted as .PDF files via https://bit.ly/GT-CEE_Open-Rank_Tenured_Tenure-Track_Faculty_Positions. Requests for information may be directed to Dr. Jian Luo (jian.luo@ce.gatech.edu), Chair of the CEE Faculty Search Committee. Applications will be considered beginning November 15, 2023, but the search will continue until the positions are filled. A background check must be completed prior to beginning employment.
