    The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University (Ithaca campus) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the broad area of dynamics related to the mechanics of structures and materials. Our definition of structures is broad and includes buildings, bridges, dikes, wind turbines, and solar devices/solar panels.

    We are interested in applicants whose research is related to any of the following or related areas:   

    • Material and/or structural response to dynamic loading arising from wind, waves, blast, seismic waves   
    • Sensors, sensing applications, structural health monitoring, and related data fusion problems   
    • Materials and/or structural design considering dynamic loading from extreme weather, natural or man-made hazards.   
    • Vibration control and tuned damping, sustainable energy technologies, energy harvesting

    Computational, theoretical, or experimental research programs are all encouraged. In general, we prioritize the overall originality and promise of the applicant's work, rather than the sub-area of specialization.

    Applicants must hold a Ph.D. and will be expected to maintain a rigorous program of leading-edge research and contribute to the undergraduate, Master of Engineering, and M.S./Ph.D. course curricula in structural dynamics and other courses within a focus area related to the mechanics of structures and materials. The ability to form large research teams to address complex problems will be viewed favorably, as well as utilization of our laboratory facilities and potential linkages to Cornell Tech (NYC campus).

    Applicants at the assistant professor level are strongly encouraged and candidates at the associate and full professor levels will also be considered. Salary and rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Review of applications will begin Dec 1, 2024 and will continue until the position is filled.

  • Assistant/Associate Professor Addressing Risk and Resilience in Response to Natural and Human-induced Hazards

    Ithaca, NY
    Posted:

    The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University (Ithaca campus) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the areas of risk to and resiliency of the built environment and human populations to natural and human-induced hazards. We are particularly interested in research that informs actions and responses in urban resilience. Examples of application areas of interest addressing risk and resilience include those arising from climate change (e.g., extreme weather events), aging infrastructure, vulnerabilities in urban infrastructure, and emerging risks to public health.

    We seek applicants leveraging cutting-edge breakthroughs in AI, machine learning, and other advanced computational paradigms, alongside fundamental theoretical research and/or experimental, observational, and other types of data-driven approaches. Applicants are expected to develop novel methodologies and tools that make the built environment and human populations more resilient to emerging risks.

    Applicants must hold a Ph.D. and will be expected to maintain a rigorous, well-funded program of leading-edge research and contribute to the undergraduate and graduate course curricula. The ability to form large interdisciplinary research teams to address complex problems will be viewed favorably, as well as potential linkages to Cornell Tech (NYC campus).

    Applicants at the assistant professor level are strongly encouraged and candidates at the early associate professor level will also be considered. Salary and rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Review of applications will begin Dec 1, 2024 and will continue until the position is filled.
