Tenure/Tenure-Track Faculty
Department:
Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering
Rank:
Assistant Professor
Position Summary 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.
Minimum Qualifications
Earned Ph.D. in Architectural, Civil, Construction or Environmental Engineering or a closely related discipline from an accredited institution.
Demonstrated record of prior research work and a record of impactful scholarly publications in refereed journals, conference proceedings, and similarly impactful venues.
Demonstrated interest and/or record in engineering education and professional service in area(s) of specialization.
Effective verbal and written communication skills.
Show the potential to construct and sustain a quality research program.
Exhibit the potential for excellent teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
Preferred Qualifications
Demonstrated a record of high-quality research and scholarly publications that is recognized nationally and/or internationally.
A record of scholarship in architectural, civil, construction, or environmental engineering, or a closely related department with both undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
Post-doctoral experience or other similar post-graduate experience.
Attainment, progress toward or demonstrated interest in professional licensure or other applicable professional certification (FE or PE).
Exceptional collegial, interpersonal, and mentoring skills.
Instructions and Required Materials for Application Required application documents include a: (1) cover letter that includes both the department name, rank of position, and specialty area for which the candidate is applying, (2) a resume/curriculum vitae, (3) a 4 to 6 page statement of research interests and plans, (4) a one to two page statement of teaching interests and plans, and (5) the names and contact information for at least four references.
Review of applications will begin immediately. Applications are preferred on or before November 16, 2025 to receive fullest consideration, but the search will continue until the positions are filled.
