The Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering invites applications for multiple tenured/tenure-track faculty positions at the Full /Associate/Assistant Professor levels starting in August 2024. The research and educational interests of the applicants should intersect with the departmental core methodological research thrusts in developing algorithms and methodologies for enhancing machine learning, optimization, and data analytics methods to support decision-making applications in smart city/urban infrastructure (including cybersecurity, healthcare systems, energy, water, transportation, and public health), logistics, and manufacturing. Minimum qualification will be a doctoral degree either in industrial engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or a related field from an accredited research institution. Preferred qualifications include 1) research expertise in one or more areas, including machine learning, large-scale robust optimization and game theory, data analytics, and computing methods; 2) a strong publication record in top-tier peer-reviewed journals/conferences, and, if seeking associate/full professor rank, a high citation h-index; 3) significant potential (or demonstrated record) for conducting research  funded by grants and contracts from federal agencies and state/private sources as a principal investigator; 4) potential/demonstrated ability to form multi-level, interdisciplinary research collaborations; 5) a strong potential/record of successfully funding and mentoring doctoral students and post-doctoral scholars; and 6) demonstrated experience/potential for developing and teaching undergraduate and graduate level courses, particularly Ph.D. level courses. Successful candidates are expected to possess strong leadership and communication skills, be able to work effectively in diverse teams, integrate research, education, and service activities, and be actively engaged in professional society leadership.

The IMSE Department currently has 15 full-time faculty members and offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Industrial Engineering together with an M.S. degree in Engineering Management (MSEM) and an M.S. degree in Data Intelligence (MSDI) and is highly engaged in delivering distance learning opportunities.
