Position description

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Irvine (CEE@UCI) invites applications for a “Professor of Teaching in Engineering” faculty position with potential security of employment. The position involves teaching undergraduate courses with emphasis in structural and geotechnical engineering; administration of the Department’s year-long capstone design course sequence involving industry engagement with student design teams; development, support and assessment of best-practices for engineering education across the Department; and leadership on undergraduate accreditation initiatives. This position falls under the Lecturer with Security of Employment series at the University of California and requires, in addition to excellent teaching and service, that the candidate makes outstanding and recognized contributions to the development of his or her specific discipline and/or of pedagogy.

CEE@UCI is a vibrant unit with a growing stature offering B.S. degrees in Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering, and graduate degrees (M.S. and Ph.D.) in three focus areas: Structures and Materials, Transportation, and Water. Located centrally within the greater southern California megalopolis, just miles from the Pacific Ocean, we aspire to address grand challenges related to urban infrastructure and the environment, including water, energy, waste, transportation, building systems and connected ecosystems, and to prepare our graduates to be leaders in these fields. We seek candidates with a doctoral degree in Civil Engineering, or closely related field, and preference will be given to candidates who hold an appropriate Professional Engineering license (e.g., Civil, Structural) or who are committed to registration in the State of California. We desire candidates with demonstrated excellence in teaching, research experience including peer-reviewed publications of creative work, and a passion for engineering education that motivates high-quality educational experiences in laboratory, lecture and field settings. We also seek candidates skilled at coordination with regional partners in industry, government and resource agencies to enhance Department programs, e.g., through internship programs and off-campus learning opportunities. The Department benefits from the active participation of many engineering professionals through its Civil and Environmental Engineering Affiliates program and its research activities. Grant writing in support of innovative instructional initiatives and modernization of educational facilities will be an important component of this position.
