About the Opportunity
Founded in 1898, Northeastern is a global research university and the recognized leader in experience-driven lifelong learning. Our world-renowned experiential approach empowers our students, faculty, alumni, and partners to create impact far beyond the confines of discipline, degree, and campus.
Our locations—in Arlington; Boston; Charlotte, London; Miami; New York City; Oakland; Portland, Maine; Seattle; Silicon Valley; Toronto; Vancouver; and the Massachusetts communities of Burlington and Nahant—are nodes in our growing global university system. Through this network, we expand opportunities for flexible, student-centered learning and collaborative, solutions-focused research.
Northeastern’s comprehensive array of undergraduate and graduate programs— in a variety of on-campus and online formats—leads to degrees through the doctorate in nine colleges and schools. Among these, we offer more than 195 multi-discipline majors and degrees designed to prepare students for purposeful lives and careers.
About CEE and COE at Northeastern University: The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Northeastern University has a faculty of more than 40 members (several with joint appointments with other colleges) pursuing use-inspired research in structures, urban coastal systems, urban transportation and mobility, construction management, air quality, wind energy, water quality, environmental health, resilience, sustainability and climate change, life cycle assessment, green infrastructure, urban informatics, and robotics. CEE sits within Northeastern's College of Engineering (COE) , a leader in experiential education and interdisciplinary research focused on innovating for global impact, anchored by Northeastern's signature cooperative education program and R1 research rating. The college enrolls more than 10,000 students pursuing BS, MS, and PhD degrees and includes more than 450 faculty. COE leads four university-wide research institutes while partnering in ten more and brings together researchers from a global network of campuses and partners.
About the Opportunity:
Northeastern University seeks multiple faculty hires in the broad theme of Critical Infrastructure Resilience and Cyber-AI Security . This theme focuses on protecting and strengthening the physical and digital systems that underpin modern society. The theme spans (1) hardware and critical infrastructure resilience (HCIR), leveraging AI, digital twins, and sensing to build secure and adaptive infrastructure; (2) cyber-AI security and safety, which addresses securing embodied AI/robotics, critical infrastructure systems, critical industrial control systems, security infrastructures and cryptographic techniques for AI systems; and (3) advanced manufacturing for future semiconductor materials and energy storage systems, aligned with CHIPS Act priorities in battery and energy-storage research. Anchored in Boston, the theme builds on cross-college collaboration among COE (College of Engineering), Khoury College of Computer Sciences, Mills (Mills College at Northeastern), CSSH (College of Social Sciences and Humanities), CAMD (College of Arts, Media and Design), COS (College of Science), and Law (School of Law), together with Northeastern's interdisciplinary ecosystem. It builds on the Kostas Research Institute (KRI), CHEST (Center for Hardware and Embedded Systems Security and Trust), SENTRY (Soft Target Engineering to Neutralize the Threat Reality), DIBI (Defense Industrial Base Institute), and the Center for Advanced Materials for Resiliency (CAMR), connecting cryptography, AI, physical infrastructure resilience, cyber-AI security, and advanced manufacturing to safeguard the systems the nation depends on against natural disasters and both conventional and emerging (including quantum-era) threats.
As part of this strategic initiative, coordinated across the university under sub-theme #1 (HCIR), the Civil and Environmental Engineering…
