Assistant Professor - Sustainable Energy Infrastructure - Civil and Environmental Engineering

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, invites tenure-track faculty applications in Sustainable Energy Infrastructure. Preference will be given to candidates who are recent Ph.D. graduates, postdocs or Assistant Professors. About the Position: As demands for energy grow and corresponding environmental impacts intensify, the need for sustainable, transformative, resilient, and financially affordable solutions in energy infrastructure has never been greater. Energy infrastructure lies at the nexus of civil engineering, environmental stewardship, affordability, and societal progress. It includes clean and affordable approaches to energy integration, generation, and storage; management of emissions and wastes; geo-energy and geological systems; food-energy-water systems; and the design of new and modernization of existing infrastructure to meet energy demands sustainably. The related challenges are multifaceted throughout the life cycles of energy infrastructure—requiring expertise in materials, emissions and impact assessment, environmental impact mitigation, systems analysis, and resiliency to hazards and climate extremes. Multidisciplinary research interests are expected. The Department’s leadership in research, education, and professional engagement positions it to cultivate groundbreaking advances that will redefine energy infrastructure and its interactions with society for the 21st century. This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future and contribute to a cleaner, healthier, cost-efficient, and resilient world. We seek a visionary scholar who will lead research in new directions in energy systems, foster partnerships with industry and government, and educate the next generation of engineers to lead this transformation. Such efforts will lead to cross-cutting research and collaboration in any area of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Faculty are expected to be leaders in research, contribute to existing undergraduate and graduate educational programs in the Department, and develop new and innovative courses. New hires are also expected to collaborate with colleagues in the Department, the College of Engineering, and more broadly on the Berkeley Campus. About the Department: Our faculty are leaders in research, establishing new fields of study and developing advanced models and tools to address critical societal-scale challenges. We prepare students for leadership roles in industry, academia, and the public sector, empowering them to shape a sustainable future. We provide technical expertise, leadership, and service to public, private, and professional entities worldwide. The Department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We welcome applications from candidates who have non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons.
