Description
The Department of Civil and Systems Engineering (CaSE) in the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position at all ranks. We are particularly interested in candidates with deep knowledge of structural behavior, mechanics, and design who have a vision for advancing these fields and extending them to emerging areas of application. These areas include intelligent infrastructure, resilient energy structures, space, future manufacturing, robotics, and other areas that address CaSE's grand societal challenges. We also welcome candidates from other disciplines whose work addresses these grand challenges.
CaSE combines distinctive strengths in structures with expertise in computational mechanics, optimization, uncertainty quantification, manufacturing, and systems engineering. This intellectual foundation offers an exceptional setting for a colleague to build new research directions while contributing to an engaged community of engineering researchers and educators. Opportunities for collaboration across Johns Hopkins are enabled by university institutes and centers, including the Data Science and AI (DSAI) Institute, the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI), and the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI), as well as the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. If relevant, candidates whose work aligns with JHU’s DSAI initiative are encouraged to discuss potential synergies between their research and the goals of the DSAI Institute.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop an outstanding research program, contribute to undergraduate and graduate education, mentor students, and participate in the intellectual life of the department, school, and university. We encourage candidates to articulate how their expertise prepares them for their proposed research directions and how the CaSE environment would support that work.

Vaccine Requirements
Johns Hopkins University requires all faculty, staff, and students to receive the seasonal flu vaccine. Exceptions to the flu vaccine requirements may be provided to individuals for religious beliefs or medical reasons. Requests for an exception must be submitted to the JHU vaccination registry. New hires with start dates after the required vaccination deadline and during the designated flu season must be fully vaccinated before their start date to begin working.
For positions in clinical areas or laboratories, or for those that involve work with research subjects or community contact, the pre-employment physical requires a TB screening at least six weeks before your start date. TB screening can be a negative PPD test or an IGRA (T-spot or Quantiferon blood test). A chest X-ray may be required if your TB screening is positive. Documentation of immune status against rubella (German measles), rubeola (measles), mumps, varicella (chickenpox), and hepatitis B, and documentation of having received the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccination is required. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines, two (2) varicella vaccines, or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers.
Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office. An applicant who chooses to have his or her own practitioner complete the above requirements is responsible for those incurred costs.
