Positions
Faculty Position in Structural Engineering
The Department of Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame (cegeos.nd.edu) invites applications for a full-time tenure-track or tenured position in structural engineering to complement the existing faculty. Qualified candidates at all levels (assistant, associate, or full professor) will be considered, with hiring rank and tenure status commensurate with academic accomplishments. The successful candidate must hold a doctoral degree in an appropriate field and must demonstrate potential for high quality research and teaching. The existing faculty has significant strength in natural hazard risk mitigation and sustainable civil infrastructure. In accordance with these strength areas, the department is seeking an outstanding faculty member with a research focus on, but not limited to: infrastructure systems, high-performance and sustainable civil structures, reliability and performance of structures under extreme loading, innovative materials, computational mechanics, and foundation-structure interaction. Candidates for the position should be qualified to teach civil engineering courses, with a strong commitment to teaching excellence at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The successful faculty candidate is expected to develop and sustain an externally funded research program and publish in leading scholarly journals. Applications should be emailed to Dr. Yahya Kurama at struct@nd.edu as a single PDF with cover letter, detailed CV, statements of research and teaching, and names and contact information for three references. Review of applications will start immediately and continue until the position is filled. The University of Notre Dame is committed to diversity in education and employment, and women and members of underrepresented minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply. The University also supports the needs of dual career couples and has a Dual Career Assistance Program in place to assist relocating spouses and significant others with their job search. Inquiries related to this search can be directed to Dr. Yahya Kurama at struct@nd.edu.
FACULTY POSITION IN ECOHYDROLOGY
As part of a new Environmental Change Initiative (http://environmentalchange.nd.edu/), the University of Notre Dame invites applications for a new open-rank faculty position in ecohydrology that will enhance existing foundations of excellence in hydrology, aquatic chemistry, and environmental change biology. Applicants should employ quantitative modeling methods or a combination of experimental and modeling tools, to address environmental change at broad geographic scales. We seek outstanding scientists who are interested in collaborating across disciplines and programs. Candidates should be interested in linking the physical disciplines of hydrological sciences with anthropogenic drivers (e.g., invasive species, nutrient run-off, climate change, land use/land cover) and environmental responses. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to our teaching program at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Positions include an attractive salary, competitive start-up package, and laboratory space tailored to the applicant’s research needs. Applications and three letters of reference should be sent to watmod10@nd.edu. The application should be sent as a single PDF file containing a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research statement, and teaching statement. Applications at all levels will be considered. Screening of applications will begin 1 February and continue until the position is filled. The search committee, consisting of faculty from both the Department of Biological Sciences and the Department of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, is listed here: http://environmentalchange.nd.edu/subscribe/ecohydrologistsearch/
