About the Team
The Faculty of Engineering is one of North America’s top engineering schools, known for innovation, collaboration, and impact. It fosters an exceptional student experience through a holistic approach that combines technical excellence with emotional intelligence. With strong community engagement, interdisciplinary research, and a commitment to societal well‐being, the faculty prepares students to lead in a rapidly evolving, global engineering landscape.

Job Description
Location -  This role is in‑person. Work primarily takes place at North Campus, Edmonton.

The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta invites applications for a faculty position as part of a coordinated cluster hiring initiative focused on advancing next‑generation infrastructure systems through the integration of advanced materials, structural engineering, robotics, automation, and digital construction technologies. This strategic investment aims to position the University of Alberta as a global leader in digital construction and advanced infrastructure systems by fostering close collaboration between advanced steel structures and civil engineering robotics.

The Cluster Vision

This position is part of a broader cluster hiring initiative designed to work synergistically with a complementary appointment to transform how steel infrastructure is designed, fabricated, assembled, and maintained. Together, the successful candidates will pioneer research at the intersection of structural engineering and robotics, addressing challenges such as: automated welding and quality control in modular steel fabrication; robotic systems for on‑site assembly and inspection of steel structures;

digital twins integrating structural performance monitoring with robotic maintenance systems; and advanced manufacturing processes that optimise both structural performance and constructability. Both positions will contribute to the Steel Centre and the Nasseri School of Building Science and Technology, with access to experimental facilities for large‑scale structural testing, robotics laboratories, and cyber‑physical systems simulation facilities across the University of Alberta.

Position

Description:

Robotics in Civil Engineering

A full‑time, tenured or tenure‑track Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor position in Robotics in Civil Engineering, with expertise in the design, integration, and deployment of robotic systems for the built environment. Candidates are expected to have either a strong, established record in research and education in civil engineering robotics or to demonstrate exceptional potential for developing such a program.

As part of this cluster hiring initiative, this position will be filled alongside a complementary appointment,  3694 Tenured or Tenure‑Track Cluster of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor Positions in Steel Structures , fostering strong collaboration across disciplines. Both successful candidates will be expected to develop and sustain externally‑funded, collaborative research programs that strengthen partnerships with the Steel Centre, the Nasseri School of Building Science and Technology, the Hole School of Construction Engineering, and industry partners.

Candidates are encouraged to pursue both fundamental and applied research that advances the scientific foundations of next‑generation infrastructure systems. These positions are part of the University of Alberta's priority to build a diverse faculty; thus, candidates from under‑represented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
