Assistant Professor Position in Civil and Environmental Engineering

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEN) at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level beginning in September 2027. The Department is particularly interested in candidates with a teaching and research focus in the broad area of geotechnical engineering. Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to: offshore/coastal geotechnics, geotechnical design for sustainability and extreme events, soil/structure interaction, biogeotechnics, environmental geotechnics, energy geotechnics, synergies of data science, AI and geotechnical engineering, and geosystem resilience. The Department has existing expertise in reliability, structural optimization, recycled materials, marine turbulence, renewable energy, environmental remediation, environmental justice and related areas, with strong programs in data science, robotics and environmental/marine sensing across the College of Engineering. The University supports strong interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers in the College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences, the School for Marine Science and Technology, and the Center for Scientific Computing and Data Science Research (https://www.cscdr.umassd.edu/).

The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is located in the beautiful ocean side community of Dartmouth, about an hour south of Boston, half-hour east of Providence, and half-hour west of Cape Cod. It offers a world class education to more than 7,500 undergraduate and graduate students each year in over 100 undergraduate and graduate programs offered by the College of Engineering, College of Nursing, Charlton College of Business, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Visual and Performing Arts, School of Law and School for Marine Science and Technology.

UMass Dartmouth has transformed the lives of 65,000 alumni and distinguishes itself as a vibrant, public research university dedicated to engaged learning and innovative research. It is the only Massachusetts Tier 1 national research university south of Boston and serves as a catalyst for the development of marine science and technology industries along the south coast, which is also home to the nation's first offshore wind development. As such, the University is committed to the growth of a regional "Blue Economy." While candidates that can contribute to this effort are encouraged to apply, the Department seeks applications across the full breadth of geotechnical engineering.

The College of Engineering is comprised of six departments: Bioengineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer and Information Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics. We offer 8 undergraduate degree programs, 8 concentrations, 11 graduate programs, and 8 accelerated BS-MS programs that serve more than 1,100 students. Our mission is to prepare graduates to meet 21st-century technological challenges and improve the well-being of society; create new knowledge in engineering, technology, and bioengineering; and engage and develop students to become leaders in their fields through service and scholarship.
