Job Description
  • In Construction and Infrastructure Systems Engineering (CISE), one priority area focuses on generative AI in Construction to enable smart, sustainable, resilient, and healthy built environments that enhance societal quality of life. The areas of particular interest include Metaverse, Digital Twins, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), human-building interaction, human-technology interaction, lifecycle analysis of infrastructure, and Automation & Robotics. Areas of specific teaching interest focus on core construction engineering and management topics, including BIM, scheduling, cost estimating, construction law, and innovation in construction.
     
  • In Environmental Engineering (ENVE), we are seeking candidates in areas aligning with our strategic focus on local, regional, and global-scale air quality with engineering linkages to policy, control, and health. Particular emphasis is given to the topic of climate change and its atmospheric impacts. This area addresses the CEE cross-cutting themes of Healthy Communities and Sustainable Systems, as well as the grand challenges in environmental engineering identified by the 2019 National Academies report.
     
  • In Geosystems Engineering (GEO), we are seeking candidates with emphasis on geomechanics in the context of climate change, sustainable/resilient urban geotechnics, as well as new developments in novel sensing, testing or data analysis techniques associated with infrastructure construction and/or performance under normal and extreme loading.

    Outstanding faculty candidates in other areas of Civil Engineering including Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Materials (SEMM), Transportation Systems Engineering (TSE), and Water Resources Engineering (WRE) will also be considered. Candidates are expected to demonstrate an exceptional commitment to the teaching and mentoring of students.

    Georgia Tech prides itself on its technological resources, collaborations, high-quality student body, and its commitment to building an outstanding and diverse community of learning, discovery, and creation. We strongly encourage applicants whose values align with our institutional values, as outlined in our Strategic Plan. These values include academic excellence, diversity of thought and experience, inquiry and innovation, collaboration and community, and ethical behavior and stewardship. Georgia Tech has policies to promote a healthy work-life balance and is aware that attracting faculty may require meeting the needs of two careers.
