FACULTY POSITION: CIVIL ENGINEERING

The Department of Civil Engineering in the Whiting School of Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a full-time Lecturer position with an emphasis in the geotechnical engineering / geomechanics specialty area. Full-time lecturer positions at Johns Hopkins consist of six courses per year, or the equivalent; however, this position is expected to entail 2 undergraduate courses and one graduate course in the geo domain, with the remainder of the position open to some flexibility. Candidates interested in part-time positions may wish to limit responsibilities to this smaller number of courses. Candidates interested in full-time positions might wish to fulfill the remainder of the position's responsibilities by teaching courses outside of the geo domain and/or by engaging in fully externally funded research that would support the remainder of their salary.

The successful candidate will be expected to help articulate the role of geotechnical engineering / geomechanics in undergraduate and graduate education. In addition, the successful candidate will oversee the geomechanics laboratory, currently used in the undergraduate courses soil mechanics and foundations, and for graduate research. The successful candidate will join a faculty whose research broadly covers the areas of systems, structures, mechanics of materials, and fluids. Recent research projects range from post--earthquake disaster mitigation, to improved seismic design of mid-rise buildings, to the elucidation and modeling of the mechanism of fracture in polycrystalline metals, to efforts to optimally design new multi-functional materials. Additional course offerings or research efforts that are complementary to these areas are considered highly desirable. See the department website for more information.

All applications should be submitted electronically (review of applications begins 1 January 2012) as a single PDF document to: ce-lecturer-search@jhu.edu. Applicants should send their curriculum vitae, including a teaching statement, and a list of at least three references. Address all correspondence to Ben Schafer, Chair, CE Lecturer Search Committee, Department of Civil Engineering, The Johns Hopkins University, 3400 N. Charles St., Baltimore, MD, 21218. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. The Johns Hopkins University is an EEO/AA employer.

FACULTY POSITION: CIVIL ENGINEERING

The Department of Civil Engineering invites applications for a faculty position in a new group in the area of Systems. There are two research goals of the systems group. The first is to promote collaborative research in civil engineering, employing methods from systems engineering to tackle grand challenges facing infrastructure. The second is to engage in wider interdisciplinary activities through the Johns Hopkins Systems Institute (current research activities are described at http://systems.jhu.edu). Candidates of particular interest will have a significant depth in structural engineering, solid mechanics, geotechnics, materials, or infrastructure engineering. They will take a holistic view of the application of their expertise in combination with systems tools to research solutions in areas such as natural and man-made hazard mitigation, resiliency, economic development, energy independence, or sustainability.

Preference will be given to applicants at the Assistant Professor level, but exceptionally qualified candidates at all ranks will be considered. The successful candidate must have an earned doctorate and is expected to establish a strong internationally recognized research program as well as contribute fully to both undergraduate and graduate instruction. Anticipated start date is July 2012.

The Department has approximately 60 undergraduate students and 30 graduate students, nearly all of whom are Ph.D. candidates.
