Dunn, McCarthy, and many others. A prime example of the strength of our collaboration with industry is that the capstone course in the school’s architectural engineering program has been a recipient of the NCEES Engineering Education Award seven times since 2015; the Durham School is the only one to have won the $25k Grand Prize more than twice.

The successful candidate will be based in Omaha, NE; teach undergraduate and graduate courses in the Durham School; conduct original impactful research; actively participate in service, outreach, and community engagement; and demonstrate a commitment to excellence in all areas of the university mission.
