SUMMARY PURPOSE OF THE POSITION: The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant or associate professor level beginning in September 2025. The Department is particularly interested in candidates with a teaching and research focus in the broad area of geotechnical engineering. Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to: offshore/coastal geotechnics, geotechnical design for sustainability and extreme events, soil/structure interaction, biogeotechnics, environmental geotechnics, synergies of data science, AI and geotechnical engineering, and geosystem resilience. The Department has existing expertise in reliability, structural optimization, recycled materials, marine turbulence, renewable energy, environmental remediation, environmental justice and related areas, with strong programs in data science, robotics and environmental/marine sensing across the College of Engineering. The University supports strong interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers in the College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences, the School for Marine Science and Technology, and the Center for Scientific Computing and Data Science Research. The Department particularly seeks candidates who have demonstrated experience in efforts to increase the recruitment and retention of women and members of historically minoritized groups in engineering.
