About Us

New York University (NYU) is one of the top private universities in the United States with an unparalleled network of global campuses and academic centers. NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering, located in the heart of Brooklyn, dates back to 1854, the founding year of both the New York University School of Civil Engineering and Architecture and the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute. Backed by a historic commitment of $1 billion. The Engineering School is entering an exciting new phase to recruit world-class faculty conducting groundbreaking basic and applied research in key areas. We are home to a community of renowned faculty and undergraduate and graduate students united in a mission to understand and create technology that powers cities, enables worldwide communication, fights climate change, and builds healthier, safer, and more equitable real and digital worlds. The school’s culture centers on encouraging rigorous, interdisciplinary collaboration and research; fostering inclusivity, entrepreneurial thinking, and diverse perspectives; and creating innovative and accessible pathways for lifelong learning in STEM.

The CUE Construction Management programs offer a range of educational opportunities, including a cross-university undergraduate Minor, Advanced Graduate Certificates and a Master’s in Construction Management, and Master’s and PhD degrees in Civil Engineering with a concentration in Construction Management. These programs are closely connected with industry organizations such as the CMAA, AGC, ASC, and ASCE. With New York City as a testing ground, they equip students to understand and apply current, emerging, and advanced technologies in construction, such as AI, modular construction, robotics, analytics, and innovative project delivery. Central to these efforts is the Institute of Design and Construction (IDC) Innovation Hub—a research center that bridges technology, business, and academia to address industry challenges. The Hub aims to prepare students to develop creative solutions to critical economic, environmental, and social challenges.

NYU Tandon is committed to substantially increasing the proportion of our faculty from historically underrepresented groups in STEM and we encourage candidates from such groups to apply. We aspire to create a climate where diversity and inclusion are not only appreciated but considered an asset for creativity and innovation, and we seek faculty who have a real passion for a culturally diverse environment.  We take pride in our high numbers of female students and students who are the first in their families to go to college. Our faculty are supported by a range of work-life balance programs provided by the NYU Office of Work Life.
