Illinois Institute of Technology is a private, Ph.D.-granting research university with world-renowned programs in architecture, engineering, computing, the sciences, humanities and social sciences, psychology, business, law, and design. It is ranked #1 in Illinois and #23 nationally in the Wall Street Journal's "America's Best Colleges 2024." Founded in 1890, Illinois Tech was built to provide access to higher education for students from all backgrounds and to make a difference in the world through technology-oriented education. This guiding mission and purpose – where students could prepare for meaningful roles in a changing society and achieve professional and economic advancement – remains just as relevant today. As such, diversity and inclusion are part of the day-to-day experience here and a central component of our culture. Illinois Institute of Technology today is home to a diverse and global student population; is committed to providing opportunities to enhance the diversity of its faculty and staff; and strongly encourages applicants from all backgrounds to apply for this position, especially those underrepresented in the field. The CAEE Department at Illinois Tech offers ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science degrees in civil engineering and architectural engineering, as well as a variety of master’s degrees and doctoral degrees in civil, architectural, and environmental engineering and related disciplines. The department has 15 full-time faculty, 4 full-time staff, over 200 undergraduate students, and approximately 200 graduate students. Among an array of recent investments, in 2020 the CAEE Department received a large gift from Trimble to establish a state-of-the-art Technology Lab, expanding the university's expertise in civil and environmental infrastructure, building construction field systems, and project controls and collaboration. The newly created Trimble Technology Lab allows Illinois Tech to integrate cutting-edge technology into its curricula, empowering graduates to rapidly transform how buildings and living environments are designed and constructed. More information on faculty, teaching, research, facilities, and degree programs in the CAEE Department can be found at: https://www.iit.edu/caee.
