Description
The Maseeh Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering (CAEE) at The University of Texas at Austin invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Engineering for the Extreme.
We are interested in candidates whose research addresses the multitude of challenges in engineering for the extreme, at both the system and material levels, including: (a) design for extreme terrestrial (subsea, underground, polar, desert) or extraterrestrial (lunar, Martian, orbital) settings; (b) design strategies to enhance resilience to extreme natural (e.g., atmospheric) or anthropogenic events (e.g., wildfires); and/or (c) design for extreme or uncommon stressors (e.g., radiation, intense thermal cycling, extreme pressures, micrometeorite impacts). Candidates leveraging AI and physics-informed computational modeling in novel ways for engineering for the extreme
