[ES_JOBS_NET] Faculty position in Coastal Resiliency & Habitat Adaptation, University of Michigan

[Allison Steiner]

The University of Michigan’s Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering (CEE) is searching for a faculty candidate in the broad area of
Coastal Resiliency & Habitat Adaptation that aligns with the human-centered
habitats and adaptive resiliency foci of the department’s new strategic
plan. The search is open-rank with a preference to a tenured position at
the associate professor level or higher. A preferred start date is
September 1, 2019. We seek candidates demonstrating exceptional innovation
and creativity in 1) impact assessment and sustainable methods for
improving or redesigning coastal urban and natural areas subjected to
rising sea levels and extreme weather events; 2) design of smart, adaptive
coastal infrastructure to enhance community resiliency in either freshwater
or marine environments; and 3) large-scale modeling to understand physical
and ecological vulnerability and resilience of coastal habitats to global
changes.

We seek candidates with interests and demonstrated successes related to
coastal and coast-land interface hazards and protection, impact evaluation
and response to sea level rise, and large-scale drivers of change in
coastal environments through theoretical, computational modeling,
experimental or field approaches. To be considered for this position, a PhD
(or equivalent international degree) or enrollment in a PhD (or equivalent
international degree) granting program is required at the time of
application. The successful candidate is expected to demonstrate the
potential to leverage existing disciplinary strengths within the CEE
department; a capacity to collaborate with researchers in other departments
and colleges across the University; and entrepreneurship activity that
translates scientific advances into practice. A strong record of teaching
and mentoring students in coastal resiliency-related research and in
courses that complement the CEE undergraduate and graduate curricula,
including the development of new courses is expected.

https://cee.engin.umich.edu/about/faculty-search/ to submit your
application that includes: 1) curriculum vitae, 2) statements of research
interests, teaching philosophy, and diversity, equity and inclusion, 3)
