The Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction (engineering.unl.edu/durhamschool) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of assistant professor in Architectural Engineering beginning in Fall 2025. The Durham School is co-located in two cities, Lincoln and Omaha, which are approximately 50 miles apart. With approximately 30 faculty, 600 undergraduate students, and 100 graduate students, the Durham School is the only endowed academic unit ($30 million) in the UNL College of Engineering and has strong ties with several world-class architecture/engineering/construction firms, many of which are headquartered in Omaha, including HDR, DLR, Leo A Daly, Kiewit, J.E. 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.

Faculty at the University of Nebraska have access to many resources, including the Holland Computing Center, which manages supercomputing facilities.
