The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering at Rowan University invites applicants for tenure-track or tenured positions at the assistant, associate, or full professor levels. Senior level candidates with exceptional achievements and demonstrated impact will have the opportunity to be considered for the Henry M. Rowan (HMR) College of Engineering Foundation Professorship. We house two major research centers a) CREATES (Center for Research and Education in Advanced Transportation Engineering Systems) and the Sustainable Facilities Center and have a thriving research community with a growing graduate program. The department is home to roughly 300 undergraduates, 85 MS/PhD students, 12 faculty members, and 2 staff members. The CEE undergraduate program has consistently received high recognition from employers and academic peers with its multidisciplinary “Engineering Clinics” as a hallmark. Newly hired faculty members will complement and expand research and engineering education expertise in the department and build strong connections with government/industry in the region and beyond.
The successful candidates must hold a doctoral degree or foreign degree equivalent in civil or environmental engineering; have an established record of high-quality research and have a commitment to teaching and diversity and inclusion. Additionally, the HMR candidate will have attained national and international visibility with strong leadership skills and possess outstanding academic and scholarship credentials. All faculty will perform research as well as teach undergraduate and graduate courses in the ABET-accredited Civil and Environmental Engineering curricula. Candidates possessing professional engineering registration or the ability to obtain it will be considered favorably. The successful candidates are expected to contribute to the development of academic and research programs and make outstanding contributions to the research community. We are seeking exceptional candidates with expertise in Geotechnical Engineering. Candidates with research and teaching interests in all areas of geotechnical engineering will be considered, including foundation engineering, soil-structure interaction, slope stability, biogeotechnics, energy geotechnics, ground improvement methods, unsaturated soil mechanics, geo-environmental engineering, and computational geotechnics.
Candidates must demonstrate excellent communication skills and a strong commitment to excellence in teaching, research, and student mentoring. The successful candidate is expected to develop and maintain a strongly-funded research program and collaborate, as needed, with multi-disciplinary groups of faculty and professionals, including personnel at the South Jersey Technology Park, other campus centers, and our medical colleges.
The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering was founded in 1995 and quickly gained national recognition for its innovative multidisciplinary, project-based approach to engineering education, establishing itself as a national leader in engineering education. In 2013, the State of New Jersey designated Rowan University a comprehensive research university, and in 2017 our university was recognized as a Carnegie-classified research institution. During that period, Rowan Engineering doubled both its full-time faculty and student population, as well as started its engineering PhD programs. In 2017, we opened the doors of Engineering Hall and, in 2023, completed a full renovation of our original home, Rowan Hall. These projects tripled our available space and provided the College with state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities. The College currently enrolls over 1,800 undergraduate and graduate students in six departments and is home to five research centers. The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering is located on the main campus in Glassboro, NJ (20 miles southeast of Philadelphia).
