The University of Central Florida (UCF) is dedicated to increase the prominence of its Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering (CECE) Department. Applications are invited for a tenure-track faculty position under the FUTURe CITy – Fostering Smart Urban Transformation and Ubiquitous Resilience with Connected Infrastructure and Technology – a Smart City initiative housed within the CECE Department. The FUTURe CITy initiative’s goal is to attract faculty who have a vision to synergistically explore wide-ranging technological advances towards better serving urban residents. The interdisciplinary research environment, access to rapid metropolitan economic and population growth, and nexus of world-class simulation, space technology and tourism industries co-located in the Central Florida metro region provide unique research opportunities to the potential faculty candidates. This initiative will provide urban policy makers and planners a blueprint that can be used to optimally allocate limited resources while meeting sustainability and resilience goals and promoting social justice, equity, and fairness. For more details visit http://www.cece.ucf.edu/futurecity/futurecity.html. The targeted rank of the successful candidate is at the assistant professor level. For exceptional candidates, associate professor rank may be considered. The position is expected to commence in August, 2018.
