Arizona State University--Fulton Schools of Engineering

INSTITUTION: Arizona State University
DEPARTMENT: Fulton Schools of Engineering
POSITION: AVNET Chair in Supply Chain Networks
LINK: AVNETChair.faculty@asu.edu
NOTES:

The Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) seek nominations and applications from highly distinguished individuals for the AVNET Chair in Supply Chain Networks.  Areas of particular interest include: supply chain system design, reverse logistics, sustainable logistics and humanitarian logistics, however the vision, leadership potential and record of accomplishments of the candidate’s work are higher priorities than the specific area of research.

The production systems group in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering consists of faculty working on the design and operation of systems for providing goods and services from product concept through retirement.  Projects include collaborative design, facilities logistics, global supply chain design, workforce planning, capacity analysis, on-line tracking and quality assurance, inventory planning and location.

The successful candidate will hold an earned Ph.D. or equivalent in industrial engineering, or related field. Required qualifications also include demonstrated evidence of excellence in research and teaching including an extensive record of acquiring external funding and publication in top-tier journals with real-world impact. 

Faculty members are expected to maintain an internationally recognized and externally funded research program, develop and teach graduate and undergraduate courses, advise and mentor graduate and undergraduate students, and provide leadership in professional service.

Appointment, starting August 2014, will be at the rank commensurate with the candidate’s experience and accomplishments, but it is expected that the successful candidate will qualify for the rank of professor.  Although the appointment may be in any of Fulton Engineering’s five schools, the Industrial Engineering program is currently the most involved in supply chains.

Review of applications will begin November 1, 2013; if not filled, reviews will occur on the 1st and 15th of the month thereafter until the search is closed.  To apply, please submit as a single PDF file a current CV, statements describing research and teaching interests and contact information for three references to AVNETChair.faculty@asu.edu.
