Cornell’s School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications for a
tenure-track faculty position in the area of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) as part of a new
strategic initiative in Smart Cities. We are seeking an individual who is making transformative
advancements in how modern infrastructure systems are analyzed, designed and/or controlled
with an eye toward providing a more intelligent, equitable, sustainable, and resilient allocation
of limited resources.
The successful applicant will be expected to:
• Conduct an internationally recognized and well-funded research program.
• Contribute to fundamental advances of CPS architectures for smart city applications in one or
more of the following broad application areas: energy, transportation, water, public health
or other urban infrastructure systems. The advances could be related to (but not limited to)
areas such sensor development and monitoring, control of smart and distributed
infrastructure systems, artificial intelligence models and methods, decision systems with
humans in the loop, and infrastructure system resilience.
• Foster cross-disciplinary engagements that develop transformative research and education
initiatives–for example, with colleagues working in sensor development, robotics, control
and optimization, sustainability, risk, equity, and urban systems.
• Design new undergraduate and graduate courses related to CPS and infrastructure systems
design and performance.
The position is open at all ranks; salary and rank will be commensurate with qualifications and
experience. It is anticipated the successful candidate will begin in Summer 2023, although
alternative arrangements can be made. The candidate will also contribute to undergraduate
and graduate teaching in the CEE School. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to
interact with faculty and students within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the
College of Engineering, the Cornell Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future, Cornell Tech,
and the numerous other Departments, Centers and Initiatives at Cornell related to Smart
Cities.
