The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Waterloo invites applications from outstanding individuals for tenure-track positions at the assistant or associate professor rank. Preference will be given to candidates who will combine excellence in teaching with a demonstrated capacity to conduct novel, interdisciplinary research that will expand and complement our current departmental research strengths. While we encourage outstanding candidates in all the areas of civil, environmental and geological engineering to apply, applicants whose research falls into the following inter-disciplinary areas will be given priority:
· Energy – conservation, conversion, building envelopes, carbon sequestration, geothermal
· Geomatics - hazard and emergency assessment, construction support, spatial analysis
· Infrastructure – policy and management, urban air quality, sensors and instrumentation
· Materials – nano-functionalized or bio-inspired construction materials
Applicants must have potential or proven ability to develop an internationally recognized research program, must have excellent communication skills, and must have a strong commitment to teaching at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels. In particular, the successful applicant must have a strong interest in innovative teaching methods and curriculum development to support our undergraduate civil, environmental and geological engineering programs. The ideal applicant should expect to work with industrial partners and generate collaborative research funding to lead a successful research program.
The successful applicant is expected to have an engineering license for practice in Canada or to apply for an engineering license with the Professional Engineers of Ontario within 5 years. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. The University of Waterloo encourages applications from all qualified individuals, including women, members of visible minorities, native peoples, and persons with disabilities.
Interested applicants are invited to submit their full curriculum vitae, along with a teaching vision statement. They are also requested to submit a research vision statement, specifically indicating how their innovative research directions will complement the ongoing research in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Each of the vision statements should be no more than two pages in length.
