Job Summary: The Department of Civil Engineering in the College of Engineering, at the University of Texas at Arlington, invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position. This position centers on hazard mitigation and structural design to address wind impacts. Given that Texas is the second-most hurricane-affected state, we are particularly interested in candidates who can establish research capabilities and strengthen UTA's competitiveness in the area of wind impacts on structures. Candidates with large-scale experimental experience using facilities such as the Wall of Wind Experimental Facility or the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel, a strong computational background, and the ability to conduct research aimed at mitigating wind-induced structural damage caused by extreme weather events like hurricanes and severe windstorms are of particular interest. The candidate is expected to create an interdisciplinary research collaboration that integrates expertise in structural engineering, architecture, mechanical and aerospace engineering, and computational modeling to study the structural behavior of buildings under wind loads and drive advancements in urban planning and hazard mitigation strategies. This initiative will enhance UTA's competitiveness and play a key role in developing more resilient infrastructure to address climate-related challenges. In addition to the primary expertise we are seeking in wind-related research, candidates with additional expertise in areas such as wood and mass timber engineering, ocean structural engineering, or innovations in AI and additive manufacturing are considered a plus. Essential Duties: The candidate is expected to conduct high-quality, externally funded research, teach, provide professional service, and develop both independent areas of expertise as well as engage in joint research. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the development of curricula and courses in this critical field. Strong and productive collaboration with faculty in this area will be a key expectation. Required Qualifications: A PhD in civil engineering or a closely related field is required. Candidates with doctoral degrees in disciplines other than civil engineering must demonstrate a strong understanding of and experience with civil infrastructure systems. Candidates should also show a commitment to achieving the highest standards of research and teaching excellence, with a focus on applied research that produces tangible impacts. Preferred Qualifications: A demonstrated research record of participating in large-scale experimental testing using facilities such as the Wall of Wind Experimental Facility or the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel, a strong computational background, and the ability to conduct research aimed at mitigating wind-induced structural damage caused by extreme weather events like hurricanes and severe windstorms. Additionally, a proven record of interdisciplinary research, experience in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels at an R-1 institution, experience mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, and a successful track record of securing competitive funding from federal agencies and industry. Special Instructions: To apply applicants should go https://uta.peopleadmin.com/postings/30903 and submit the following materials: Required Documents: • Curriculum Vitae • Cover Letter • Statement of Research Interests • Statement of Teaching Interests • Names and contact information for 5 references • Two examples of recent publications Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
