Unread post by IMB »

The University of Texas at Austin Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering (CAEE) invites applications for a tenure-track position at the assistant professor level in transportation engineering. We seek candidates experienced in the study and development of innovative transportation technologies or systems.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Planning, design, operation, and preservation of multimodal transportation systems (e.g., air, rail, maritime) in the context of passenger, freight, and/or service delivery.
• Innovative mobility technologies (electrification, automation, alternative fuels) and concomitant environmental, economic, social, ethical, and policy implications.
• Interactions between transportation and other complex social, environmental, or infrastructure systems; for example, involving disaster resilience, public policy, climate change adaptation, and
social/environmental justice.
The successful candidate is expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses to a diverse student population in the CAEE department, develop a sustainable sponsored research program expanding the range of research topics in the CAEE department, mentor graduate students, collaborate with other faculty from a wide range of backgrounds within and outside of the CAEE department, and be involved in service to the university and the profession.
The Department and the Cockrell School of Engineering are committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment. We are interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research, and service activities. The CAEE department has over 55 faculty and is currently ranked amongst the top five graduate and undergraduate programs in both civil and environmental engineering by US News and World Report. Faculty in CAEE have access to state of the art, internationally recognized research and computational facilities, including the Center for Transportation Research and the Texas Advanced Computing Center.
