SINGAPORE
NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is a research-intensive university, acknowledged as one of the world’s best Science and Technology Universities. It is ranked 33rd globally, among the top Technological Universities (Times Higher Education -- QS World University Rankings 2009). Located on a sprawling and beautiful, 200 hectare residential campus, NTU has a total population of over 30,000 Undergraduate and Graduate Students from 72 countries and an international faculty body of over 1,500.

NTU’s School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) aspires to be a leading school for Sustainable Built Environment. Currently, it has over 60 faculty members and more than 1,500 students and is rapidly expanding its range of educational and research activities.

Its faculty has led major University-wide strategic research thrusts in Space Creation and Water Research. Its Underground and Rock Engineering and Protective Technologies Programmes are supporting Singapore as a world leader in the development and use of large underground caverns for new space to hold infrastructure facilities. Its earlier land reclamation research has led to a new S$10 million Research Programme, to develop super-scale cylindrical structures for underwater infrastructures or even, possibly, an underwater city. The CEE faculty also played a pivotal role in the award of a S$150 million Research Centre of Excellence, the Earth Observatory of Singapore, dedicated to Hazard-related Earth Sciences.

Going forward, CEE is addressing critical problems in urban systems, such as building and energy systems, the sustainability of urban cities and resiliency to natural and unnatural risks. The latter effort is through a new CEE-led NTU Institute, the Institute of Catastrophe Risk Management.

To fuel further development, we invite applications for an Associate Professorship position in the following Area:

Urban Infrastructure Planning

The candidate should have a Ph.D., preferably in Urban Infrastructure Planning, particularly Transportation System Planning or related areas. He or she should have demonstrated core expertise in one or more of the following Areas: Urban Land Use and Transport Planning, Sustainable Infrastructure Development and/or Planning and Design of Infrastructure for Major Transport Modes.

The successful candidate is expected to attract research funding and play a significant role in developing research in Sustainable Urban Infrastructure Development. He/she must also be able to develop and contribute to Undergraduate and Graduate teaching in Urban Infrastructure Planning and related Areas.
