Faculty Position in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering invites applications for a faculty
position to begin September 2011. We will consider exceptional candidates in all areas
of civil and environmental engineering who can contribute to the mission of the
Department in advancing knowledge of built and natural systems.

The candidate should have demonstrated excellence in original research. We are
especially interested in candidates whose research approach enables breakthroughs in
the development of sustainable infrastructure (including multiscale physics of materials
and structures; sensing, modeling and operation of complex systems); in understanding
natural or built environments and their interactions (including geomechanics, turbulence
and fluid mechanics, treatment and remediation chemistries) that can serve as the basis
for new technological advances in a range of different fields.

The appointment would be at the untenured assistant, senior tenured associate or full
professor level. Faculty responsibilities will include teaching at the graduate and
undergraduate levels, research, and supervision of student research. Applicants should
hold a PhD by the beginning of the appointment period.

Applications are being accepted electronically at http://cee-search.mit.edu until January
15, 2011. The application should include curriculum vitae, a statement of research
interests together with three publications, and a statement of teaching interests relevant
to civil and environmental engineering. We request that each candidate arrange for
three or more reference letters to be uploaded electronically. Questions should be
directed to Search-Master@School-of-Engineering-Faculty-Search.mit.edu.

MIT is building a culturally diverse faculty and strongly encourages applications from
women and minority candidates.
