With this posting, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (https://www.engr.wisc.edu/department/civil-environmental-engineering) is searching for an interdisciplinary tenure track faculty member at the intersection of civil and environmental engineering with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), as part of the RISE-AI Initiative (https://rise.wisc.edu/rise-ai/). We specifically seek candidates with expertise in the use of AI and/or ML to affect transformational advances in civil and environmental engineering. A successful candidate would conduct research and teach undergraduate and graduate courses in their engineering domain expertise, as well as on AI and/or ML and related topics. While we give the highest priority to the overall originality and promise of the candidate's work, a successful candidate will have a deep knowledge of AI and/or ML in a domain relevant to some part of civil or environmental engineering applications. We particularly welcome expertise that is complementary and synergistic to activities already established in the CEE department and give highest priority to the originality, quality, and potential impact of the candidate's work.
Applicants are expected to create, advance, and maintain a productive research program, and provide universality in the classroom and individuality in the instruction for undergraduate and graduate degree-seeking students. In addition, candidates will support department efforts to enhance inclusion in higher education through their teaching, research, and service activities, while contributing to the intellectual and academic life of the department. University and professional service will be expected as appropriate. Additionally, the successful candidate will engage in interdisciplinary and collaborative efforts with other departments, schools, and colleges.
