Appointments will be made at the rank of assistant, associate, or full professor, commensurate with the candidate’s experience and accomplishments. Successful applicants should have a research and scholarly focus that include, but are not limited to, innovations in technologies and construction methods, robotics, data analytics & modeling, construction workforce/labor, safety and risk, and resilient & sustainable infrastructure construction for extreme environments. The individual will complement or align with the skills and portfolio of existing construction management and engineering faculty.
Job responsibilities include developing and maintaining a scholarly externally funded research program, advising and mentoring graduate students, and delivering in-class and/or online instruction at the undergraduate and graduate level in construction management and engineering. Other responsibilities include supervising undergraduate design and research projects, participating in course and program assessment, and working with student organizations and competition teams.
