Tenure-Track Faculty Position in AI/Automation in Structural and Construction Engineering
University of California, Irvine – Civil and Environmental Engineering
Deadline: January 6, 2025
https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09304
The UCI Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in structural engineering. Candidates with a strong background in emerging experimental, computational, and/or theoretical approaches to advance structural & construction engineering through artificial intelligence (AI)/automation and related technologies in these areas are encouraged to apply. The search focus includes, but is not limited to, AI in structural engineering, infrastructure health monitoring at scale, and construction automation; structural engineering-based focus areas like automated modular construction and construction robotics; resilience and sustainability of AI-generated and robotically manufactured structures and the impact of automation on infrastructure life cycle; novel experimental, numerical, and/or AI integrated techniques in performance based structural engineering; and decision making through data science applications for structural systems.
The successful candidate will have demonstrated potential to achieve excellence in research, teaching, and professional activities. We encourage applicants with computational, theoretical, and experimental research backgrounds to apply for this unique tenure-track position. We prioritize the overall originality and promise of the applicant’s scholarly work rather than the sub-area of specialization. At UC Irvine, the candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate courses, develop and maintain an active and well-funded research program, and form synergistic connections with other areas in the department, engineering school, university, and industry.
Applicants are expected to have a doctorate from an accredited university in a relevant science or engineering discipline. Successful candidates will be expected to develop a vigorous externally funded research program, maintain a strong publication record, advise students, provide outstanding teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and contribute their leadership and innovative thinking toward excellent programs and projects within the department and the university. Applications should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, descriptions of research and teaching interests, an inclusive excellence activities statement, and the names and contact information of three references.
Applications received January 6, 2025, will be given full consideration but the search will remain open until the position is filled. Applications should be submitted electronically at https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09304
