The Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) and the College of Engineering at The University of Alabama invite applications for the Thad J. and Nona F. Gomillion Endowed Professorship in Civil Engineering. We are seeking a collaborative leader across the broad areas of architectural, civil, construction and environmental engineering. Candidates from under-represented groups in Architectural, Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering are strongly encouraged to apply.
Candidates with research interests across all domains relevant to architectural, civil, construction, and environmental engineering are encouraged to apply. The CCEE department and College aim to: (1) add collaborative faculty who will build upon existing strengths in the Department, College, and University and (2) add faculty who will collaborate to expand the scope of research within the department, College, and University as a whole. See cce.eng.ua.edu for more information.
The CCEE department and College consider teaching, research, and service as the three critical and complimentary portions of their overall mission. Candidates must possess a demonstrated ability to successfully lead, mentor, 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 CCEE department and the 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.
The department, college and university are notable for the collegial, welcoming and supportive spirit we demonstrate to our students, faculty, and staff; thus, candidates must demonstrate an ability to support this aspect of our community. The CCEE department and College also pride themselves on the outstanding educational experience provided to their students, and thus faculty candidates must demonstrate an ability to develop and teach courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in the faculty member’s area(s) of expertise as well as to teach courses that support the delivery and accreditation of the CCEE department’s core degree programs.
The department offers ABET/EAC accredited Bachelor of Science degrees in architectural engineering, civil engineering, construction engineering, and environmental engineering. The department also offers six minors in the areas of architectural, civil, construction, environmental and water resources, transportation, and structural engineering. At the graduate level, the department offers the Master of Science in civil engineering, the Master of Science in environmental engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy in civil engineering. The department also supports two dual-degree graduate programs – the joint MSCE/MBA and joint MSCE/JD.
Appointments to the faculty of The University of Alabama are based on the personnel requirements of the University’s academic programs and on the goal of achieving and maintaining excellence in its teaching, research, and service/academic citizenship activities.
