The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) seeks applicants for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment (SSEBE) in the emerging field of Biogeotechnical Engineering. Candidates for the position in Biogeotechnical Engineering will have a PhD in civil, geotechnical or geoenvironmental engineering, engineering geology, environmental microbiology, biogeochemistry or a related discipline. The successful candidate for this position will work within and is expected to contribute to the growth and success of the Center for Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics (CBBG), a National Science Foundation-sponsored Gen-3 Engineering Research Center (www.biogeotechnics.tech). Duties of the successful candidate will include delivering in-class and online instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels, conducting research in biogeotechnical engineering, participating in CBBG professional development, outreach, K-14 education, diversity and inclusion, and assessment activities, and working with the CBBG Student Leadership Council and other associated student organizations, and engaging with industry to advance translation of research into practice. CBBG is an interdisciplinary center with research and teaching interests spanning a wide range of topics related to the Grand Challenge of infrastructure systems sustainability. CBBG thrust areas include natural hazard mitigation, environmental protection and ecological restoration, infrastructure construction materials and methods, and subsurface exploration. Faculty members at ASU are expected to develop an internationally recognized and externally funded research program, teach undergraduate and graduate courses related to their areas of expertise, adopt innovative educational practices in both graduate and undergraduate instruction, advise students and undertake service activities as appropriate to their rank. As part of its New American University initiatives, ASU seeks candidates with research interests addressing critical infrastructure grand challenges across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Successful candidates will support the mission of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and are expected to participate in interdisciplinary research and teaching endeavors both within and beyond the Fulton Schools. Although the tenure home may be in any of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment (SSEBE) is currently the most involved in the interest areas of the search. The School offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Civil, Environmental, Sustainable, and Construction Engineering, and in Construction Management and Technology. SSEBE has 60 faculty members, approximately 1250 undergraduate and 450 graduate students, and generates annual research expenditures in excess of $18.6 million per year. Appointment will be at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor rank commensurate with the candidate’s experience and accomplishments. The projected start date is August 2021, but accommodations can be made for the selected candidate.
