Work type: Regular Full-time (Benefits eligible)

Location: Tuscaloosa

Categories: Tenure/Tenure-Track Faculty

Department: Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering

Rank: Assistant Professor

The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) and the Lee J. Styslinger Jr. College of Engineering at The University of Alabama (UA) invite applications for an Assistant Professor position in the area of Architectural Engineering (including focus areas in MEP, construction, building envelope, fire protection, acoustical and lighting).

Detailed Position Information

The posting is specific for candidates applying for a position at the rank of tenure-track Assistant Professor in the research area of Architectural Engineering. Applications from candidates with appropriate experience and a strong record of scholarly productivity and impact within other research areas who would seek appointment at the rank of Associate or Full Professor should apply through related postings advertised at those other position/rank levels.

Towards achieving excellence in all our efforts, the CCEE department and the Styslinger College of Engineering seek to hire faculty that can contribute to both: (1) build upon existing strengths in the Department, College, and University and (2) expand the scope of research within the department, College, and UA as a whole.

The CCEE Department is seeking candidates in the area of Architectural Engineering (including focus areas in MEP, construction, building envelope, fire protection, acoustical and lighting). Candidates should have demonstrated expertise in areas such as: indoor air quality assessment and improvement strategies for enhanced occupant health and comfort; advanced lighting design and controls for energy efficiency, visual comfort, and well‑being; acoustic performance and sound control in building environments;

integration of acoustics, air quality, and lighting systems within sustainable building designs; applied thermodynamics, heat transfer, and mechanical systems engineering applied to distributed energy technologies in facilities and/or community-scale energy applications; and applied research in these areas to improve environmental quality in residential and commercial buildings.

Applicants must demonstrate a clear potential to successfully develop, lead, and extramurally fund a highly productive research group with significant scholarly impact in a focus area with long term potential to further build upon the rapid rise and great success of the department college. An ability to collaborate with existing faculty in the key focus areas both within the CCEE Department and the college, as well as potential colleagues across the campus, is also highly desirable.

Faculty candidates must demonstrate an ability to develop and teach classes at both the undergraduate and graduate level in the faculty member’s area(s) of expertise as well as to teach courses that support the delivery and accreditation of the Department’s core degree programs.
