The department is home to ABET accredited undergraduate degree programs in Industrial & Systems Engineering and in Biomedical Engineering. The department currently has 11 faculty members, 220 undergraduate students, 90 Master’s students and 35 Ph.D. students and had over $5 million in external research awards last year. Active research projects in Industrial & Human Factors Engineering are being conducted in several areas, including: aviation human factors, human computer interaction, virtual environments, health systems, simulation‐based optimization, interactive systems modeling, human‐haptic informatic modeling, supply chain systems analysis, optimization modeling, transportation, to name a few. Wright State University, an institution of 19,700 students, is located in a growing high‐tech suburban community and is surrounded by commercial and government research and development facilities and a large number of health‐care networks. The university is proactively committed to industrial and government partnerships for research and development ventures. WSU is home to the University System of Ohio Center of Excellence for Human‐Centered Innovation. Faculty members in BIE play an active role in this center. Consideration of candidates begins 15 October 2010 and continues until the positions are filled.

Applicants should provide a brief statement of their research and teaching interests, complete curriculum vitae, and the names, addresses, telephone numbers and e‐mail addresses of three references.
