Department Civil Construction & Environmental Engineering

The Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering offers undergraduate degrees in Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, and Environmental Engineering. Graduate programs are offered with specialties in Computing and Systems, Construction Engineering, Water Resources, Coastal and Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering and Mechanics, Transportation Systems and Materials, Geotechnical / Geoenvironmental Engineering, and Mechanics and Materials.

The CCEE Department is among the largest civil engineering graduate programs in the country, supported by a substantial faculty and student body. The CCEE department currently boasts 50 tenure-track faculty and eight non-tenure track faculty. The faculty is highly recognized with 15 National Science Foundation CAREER Award recipients, 14 members in the NC State Academy of Outstanding Teachers, and 11 endowed professorships.

The CCEE Department has an enrollment of over 800 undergraduates and 300 graduate students. The CCEE department is housed in a new building, Fitts-Woolard Hall, with state-of-the-art facilities and laboratories on NCSU’s Centennial Campus. We seek colleagues to join a vibrant, collaborative department who will develop and maintain a nationally recognized and externally funded research program within their area of expertise, teach graduate and undergraduate courses, and collaborate across disciplines.

We are seeking to hire an Assistant Professor whose work centers on developing AI-driven approaches that strengthen decision-making in complex, real-world settings. Situated within the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) at North Carolina State University (NCSU), this work advances innovation across civil, construction, and environmental engineering, with an emphasis on solid waste and materials management and lifecycle assessment.

We invite applications from scholars with strong domain expertise in solid waste engineering while also grounded in underlying fundamental aspects, which could include environmental chemistry, microbiology, geoenvironmental engineering, and/or systems analysis, and who have integrated AI into their research. We look for researchers who will develop programs with impacts on the design, planning, and operations of solid waste management systems of the future, the sustainability of resource management, and the resilience and safety of communities.

The experience you will bring will contribute to one or more of the following areas of solid waste management:

• Municipal solid waste management/treatment
• Fate and transport of contaminants of emerging concern in engineered solid waste management systems
• Management/treatment of societal wastes (e-waste, textiles, organic waste, plastics/microplastics)
• Resource and energy recovery
• Landfill gas emissions
• Landfill leachate management/treatment
• Lifecycle assessment and techno-economic analysis applied to solid waste management

This opportunity may be a strong fit for individuals whose work develops and applies artificial intelligence to real-world engineering challenges and who are driven by complex systems, societal impact, and the advancement of resilient, sustainable infrastructure.

• Other tasks and responsibilities may be assigned based on the needs of the organization and evolving priorities.
