Essential Job Duties

The Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) at North Carolina State University (NCSU) expects to fill a tenure-track faculty position in the area of coastal engineering.

The North Carolina coast is challenged by rising sea levels and stronger storms. NCSU is leading efforts to improve the resilience and adaptability of coastal communities, and the successful candidate will contribute to and lead multidisciplinary initiatives in the CCEE Department and across the university.
