Assistant Professor in Structural Engineering

We need to output only HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes details: description, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's parse. The posting includes: - Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering invites applications for tenure-track faculty position in Structural Engineering, start date Aug 1 2027, anticipated Assistant Professor level. - Description: successful applicant will develop externally funded research program, teach undergraduate and graduate courses, mentor students, produce scholarly publications, collaborate with other faculty, provide departmental, college, university, national professional service. - Requirements: earned Ph.D. in Civil Engineering or closely related discipline before date of hire. Strong communication skills, ability to work collegially and collaboratively with diverse internal and external constituencies. Candidate shall hold a PE license or be on path of obtaining a PE license and be able to teach structural design courses. - Then list of research areas (innovative research and teaching approaches) with many subareas: Trustworthy AI-Enabled Structural Engineering and Digital Twins, Infrastructure Integrity, Structural Health Monitoring, etc. This is more like areas of interest; could be considered "Responsibilities" or "Research Interests". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. We have no explicit pay or schedule info. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections. Benefits: not mentioned explicitly. So skip Benefits. Qualifications: we have Ph.D., PE license or path, communication skills, ability to teach structural design courses. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what to put where. Usually Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = preferred? But we can combine. We'll include a Requirements section for Ph.D., PE license/path, communication skills, ability to teach structural design. Possibly also include "Strong communication skills and ability to work collegially..." as Requirements. Skills: maybe list specific technical skills: AI-enabled structural engineering, digital twins, sensor-to-model translation, computer vision, scientific ML, surrogate models, inverse design, interoperable digital twins, etc. But those are research interests, not necessarily skills. However we could put them under Skills as bullet list. Responsibilities: develop externally funded research program, teach undergraduate and graduate courses, mentor students, produce scholarly publications, collaborate with other faculty, provide departmental/college/university/national professional service. About the role: could include overview: tenure-track faculty position in Structural Engineering, start date Aug 1 2027, Assistant Professor level, department info, university context. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must include all details: start date, level, department growth stats, research expenditures, number of faculty, graduate/undergrad numbers, external funding, location description, etc. Those are substantive. Where to place them? Could be in About the role or a separate section like "Department Overview". But only allowed headings are the listed ones. We could put department overview under About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Tenure-track Faculty Position in Structural Engineering". We'll start with

About the role

then paragraphs. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, copyright, etc. Remove those. We need to keep the start date, anticipated Assistant Professor level, department growth stats, research expenditures, faculty numbers, enrollment numbers, external funding, location description (Wasatch Mountains, Big 12, Carnegie R1, etc). Also mention that the department is one of seven rapidly growing departments within the John and Marcia Price College of Engineering. Also mention that they are actively searching for 5 positions including this vacancy. Also mention that the position is anticipated to be filled at Assistant Professor level. Also mention that the position is tenure-track. Also mention that the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CVEEN) at the University of Utah invites applications. Also mention that the position is in Structural Engineering. Also mention that the successful applicant will develop externally funded research program, teach, mentor, produce publications, collaborate, provide service. Also mention that earned Ph.D. in Civil Engineering or closely related discipline before date of hire required. Also mention strong communication skills and ability to work collegially and collaboratively with diverse internal and external constituencies. Also mention candidate shall hold a PE license or be on the path of obtaining a PE license and be able to teach structural design courses. Also mention the innovative research and teaching approaches list (the big bullet list). We need to preserve all specifics; we can put them as a list under Skills or Responsibilities? Probably under Skills as they are areas of expertise. We also need to include the application process? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should not include cover letter, CV, etc. So we omit that. Also remove metadata like Department: 00058..., City..., Track..., Close Date..., Requisition Number..., etc. Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop them. Also remove links to apply, etc. Also remove EEO statements, veterans' preference, accommodations, nondiscrimination, Title IX, etc. Also remove copyright and posted by. Thus final HTML will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. Possibly also Qualifications? But we have Requirements covering qualifications; we could also have Qualifications for PE license etc. But to avoid duplication, we can combine. We need to decide: Use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. We'll not include Qualifications if we think it's covered. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities (list of duties) we use ul. For Requirements (list) we use ul. For Skills (list) we use ul. We need to use

  for prose. Let's craft. About the role paragraph: include that the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CVEEN) at the University of Utah invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Structural Engineering with anticipated start date August 1, 2027, anticipated to be filled at the Assistant Professor level. Mention university: Carnegie Research 1, Big 12 Conference, located in Salt Lake City at foothills of Wasatch Mountains, founded 1850, over 36k students, four seasons, outdoor recreation, Utah has many national parks, growth in sectors, etc. Also mention department stats: one of seven rapidly growing departments within John and Marcia Price College of Engineering; tenure-track faculty positions grew 50% past decade; research expenditures > $81.5M per year (2022), placing college top 30 engineering universities for research volume; CVEEN currently has 22 tenure-track faculty, 5 lecturing faculty, actively searching for 5 positions including this vacancy; enrollment: 100 full-time graduate students, 440 undergraduate; department has active research program with over $19M external funding in 2023; more info at www.civil.utah.edu. That is a lot but we need to preserve all substantive info. We'll include as prose; maybe break into multiple paragraphs but still under same heading. Responsibilities: bullet list: - Develop an externally funded research program - Teach undergraduate and graduate courses in structural engineering - Mentor undergraduate and graduate students - Produce scholarly publications - Collaborate with other faculty on professional development interests - Provide departmental, college, university, and national professional service Requirements: bullet list: - Earned Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline before the date of hire - Strong communication skills and the ability to work collegially and collaboratively with diverse internal and external constituencies - Hold a PE license or be on the path of obtaining a PE license and be able to teach structural design courses Skills: bullet list of the research areas (the innovative research and teaching approaches). We need to include each bullet as listed. The list is long; we need to preserve all specifics. We'll create a list with each main area and sub-items? The instruction: use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For skills, we can also use ul. We'll need to include all the sub-points. Could flatten: each bullet could be a main area with its subpoints as separate li? Might be too granular but we need to preserve detail. We could include each main area as a li and inside that include subpoints as text separated by commas. That preserves detail but not as separate li. The instruction didn't forbid nested lists, but we can keep simple. We'll produce li for each main area, with its description as given. List: - Trustworthy AI-Enabled Structural Engineering and Digital Twins: Development of physics-informed, domain-guided, and uncertainty-aware artificial intelligence for structural analysis, design, optimization, and risk assessment. Interests include sensor-to-model translation, computer vision, scientific machine learning, surrogate and reduced-order models, inverse design, and interoperable digital twins that update asset condition and support transparent engineering decisions rather than black-box prediction. - Infrastructure Integrity, Structural Health Monitoring, and Lifecycle Extension: Sensing, noncontact imaging, remote sensing, UAVs/robotics, and data-model fusion for detecting damage and deterioration in buildings, bridges, and energy infrastructure. Emphasis includes fatigue, fracture, corrosion, durability, remaining-capacity and service-life prediction, risk-based inspection and maintenance, targeted repair, and self-repairing or bio-inspired approaches that extend the useful life of existing infrastructure. - Multi-Hazard and Climate-Resilient Structural Systems: Performance-based assessment, design, retrofit, and recovery under earthquakes, hurricane and tornado winds, flooding, wildfire and wildland-urban-interface fire, post-fire slope hazards, landslides, and other compound or cascading events. Interests include probabilistic and uncertainty-informed methods, nonstationary climate and exposure, infrastructure interdependencies, and links from component response to network function, and resilience of rural and energy systems. - Advanced Computational Mechanics: Multiscale and multiphysics methods for failure, fracture, nonlinear dynamics, fluid-structure interaction, geohazard-structure interaction, and coupled soil-structure systems. Relevant approaches include high-performance computing, open and reproducible simulation frameworks, hybrid physics-data models, and thermo-hydro-mechanical formulations for underground, coastal, nuclear, geothermal, carbon-storage, and other infrastructure operating under severe or evolving conditions. - Low-Carbon, Architected, and Digitally Manufactured Structural Materials: Design, processing, mechanics, fabrication and qualification of high-performance and sustainable construction materials, including low-carbon and carbon-storing cementitious systems, UHPC, mass timber, fiber-reinforced composites, multi-functional materials, metamaterials, metastructures, bio-inspired and bio-mimicking structures and materials to optimize system performance and sustainability in the built environment. Interests include additive and automated construction, digital fabrication, topology-informed reinforcement, cold-spray and other repair technologies, and structure-property-durability relationships across scales. - Experimental, Field, and Cyber-Physical Validation: Large-scale laboratory and field testing, wind and fire experiments, shake-table studies, integration of cyber-physical systems (e.g., NSF NHERI), development of hybrid simulation techniques that enhance understanding of structural behaviors under extreme or coupled excitations, including corrosion and time-dependent degradation, and advanced material characterization that connect mechanics, sensing, and computation. Priority is placed on benchmark datasets and validation methods that quantify uncertainty, test transferability, support human-AI teaming, and translate research into inspection practice, performance-based design, retrofit guidance, codes, standards, and deployable decision tools. We'll include those as li. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The posting also mentions "Candidates with strong core fundamentals that allow them to work across disciplinary boundaries are particularly encouraged to apply." That's a statement; we could include in About the role or Requirements as a note. Could add a bullet under Requirements? It's more of a
