NYU Tandon School of Engineering invites nominations and applications for an Industry Professor to hold the IDC Design and Construction Chair in the Department of Civil & Urban Engineering. NYU is one of the top private universities in the United States, and the Tandon School of Engineering has the distinct history of having been known previously as Brooklyn Poly and the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering. The position is made possible by an endowment provided by the IDC Foundation, which was established by the Institute of Design and Construction in Brooklyn, New York. The position is not tenured/tenure track and will involve teaching, research administration, and service. The IDC Chair is expected to lead NYU’s efforts to establish the IDC Foundation Initiative for Construction Innovation (ICI). ICI is envisioned as an industry-supported center that conducts impactful, world-class research, educational, and outreach activities, guided by the active involvement of leaders from the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) community. |
