The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CIE), in collaboration with the Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC), at the University of Maine (UMaine) invites applications for a tenure track faculty position in transportation engineering, with expertise in life cycle analysis and assessment of transportation infrastructure systems.  This position is a joint appointment split 75% in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and 25% in the prestigious ASCC (https://composites.umaine.edu/) to support the Green Engineering and Materials research initiative. This position is 50% teaching/50% research.

Expertise is sought in life cycle analysis as applied to transportation systems, facilities, and planning.  The successful candidate will support and enhance current initiatives in Green Engineering and Materials (GEM), as well as the Transportation Infrastructure Durability Center (TIDC; https://www.tidc-utc.org/), the Region 1 U.S.D.O.T. University Transportation Center led by UMaine. The successful candidate will be expected to obtain licensure as a professional engineer (PE) prior to promotion to associate professor.

Candidates will be expected to engage in the instruction of transportation engineering courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels while enhancing the Department’s existing curriculum; establish and maintain a nationally-competitive funded research program; author high-quality peer-reviewed publications; train M.S. and Ph.D. students; and actively engage in service to the profession, university, and state. Information about the CIE Department can be found at civil.umaine.edu.  The ASCC is an extremely active cross-disciplinary research center that is developing innovative solutions to problems of infrastructure, renewable energy, and sustainable materials, among many other initiatives.  In CIE, the successful candidate will join a dynamic engineering program dedicated to high-quality teaching, scholarship, and service — where faculty support work-life integration.

This position is one of four Cluster Hires focused on Green Engineering and Materials (GEM) to pursue transformative research and novel solutions by augmenting cross-disciplinary expertise in the following areas and contributing to the state-of-the-art GEM Laboratory: Life Cycle Analysis of Infrastructure Systems, Digital Manufacturing applied to large-scale additive manufacturing, collaborative robotics, cyber security in digital manufacturing, and biopolymers.

With 260 faculty, staff and students housed in a 100,000 sq. ft. laboratory, the ASCC is the largest university-based research Center in Maine.   The ASCC is planning construction of the Green Energy and Materials Laboratory (GEM), a 70,000 sq. ft. addition which will house the research Factory of the Future (FoF).  The FoF will be a first-of-its-kind testbed for digital flexible manufacturing. The FoF will include AI-enabled arrays of additive, subtractive, and hybrid synchronous robotic manufacturing systems, with Q/A Q/C enabled by real-time sensing and High-Performance Computing (HPC). Work inside of the FoF will include research on the manufacture and testing of large new systems made from bio-based and other advanced materials, focusing on a unique integration of highly flexible (e.g. robotic, interchangeable end effectors) digital manufacturing processes with non-contact sensing and real-time, closed-loop feedback from the HPCs.

The University of Maine is a community of more than 11,700 undergraduate and graduate students, and 2,500 employees located on the Orono campus, the regional campus in Machias, and throughout the state. UMaine is the state land and sea grant university and maintains a leadership role as the System’s flagship university.  As a result, it is dedicated to providing excellent teaching, research, and service at the university, state, and national levels.
