Job Summary
The Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering (CEAE) is seeking applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics and closely related areas within the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at the University of Colorado Boulder. This position is anticipated to be hired at the Assistant Professor rank; however, qualified candidates may be considered at the Associate Professor or Professor rank.
Research areas of interest include those that fall within the broad scope of Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics. Preferred areas are experimental, computational and/or applied research with the potential to address resilience of future and existing structures, including but not limited to climate impacts on structural performance, climate-adaptive structures, rehabilitation or retrofit to extend the service life of existing structures, integration of sustainable materials in design, and/or structural design methods to achieve sustainability, circularity, or recovery-based performance targets. Candidates with research areas that connect structural engineering to other related disciplines, such as architectural engineering or geotechnical engineering, are encouraged to apply.
