Assistant Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering

The aim of this search is to find a colleague to complement current expertise in asphalt materials, pavement evaluation and design, and general materials characterization at Oklahoma State University. Candidates with a broad interest in civil engineering materials are encouraged to apply. Some specific areas of interest include but are not limited to: advanced material characterization including binder chemistry, and rheology, asphalt durability mechanisms with an emphasis on damage formation and binder and aggregate interface, constituent modeling with an emphasis on visco- elesto-plastic behavior, multi-phase modeling, and chemical modeling of asphalt binders, development of novel asphalt binders such as bio-binders, binder modification using nano technology and sustainable asphalt materials.

The successful candidate must have an academic background to teach undergraduate courses in construction materials in the Civil and Environmental Engineering curriculum, as well as teach new and/or existing graduate courses in their areas of expertise. A Ph.D. in, or closely related to, Materials Engineering or Civil Engineering is required. It is expected that candidates can become licensed as a Professional Engineer within 6 years of appointment.

Oklahoma State University is located in Stillwater, Oklahoma, approximately 60 miles from both Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The campus services approximately 25,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
