Position Description:The Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Department
in the College of Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP)
invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level
in the general area of advancing manufacturing. Responsibilities include
teaching and mentoring students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop an active research agenda
and secure extramural funding in support of research activities.
Department:The Department of
Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering (IMSE) (http://imse.utep.edu)
has expertise in manufacturing, operations research, reliability and
maintainability, systems engineering, supply chain management, healthcare,
sustainability, human factors, and ergonomics. The Department offers a Bachelor
of Science degree in Industrial Engineering and Master of Science degrees in
Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Systems Engineering. The
department participates in several interdisciplinary Ph.D. programs in the
College of Engineering (COE) and is developing an interdisciplinary Ph.D.
program in Manufacturing Engineering. Current departmental enrollment includes
125 undergraduates and 85 graduate students. Research expenditures last year
were nearly $2.8 million.
UTEP’s current manufacturing research portfolio includes topics in
cyber-based manufacturing, green manufacturing, 3D printing, additive manufacturing,
semi-conductor manufacturing, and materials processing. Over the past
three years, the department has experienced the fastest research expenditures
growth in the COE through major grants/contracts with USDA, DoED, DHS, NSF, the
City of El Paso, NIST, Fort Bliss, and LMC-Aeronautics. The increase in
research expenditures indicates the IMSE faculty commitment to research in the
strategic COE areas of Sustainability, Manufacturing, Infrastructure Systems,
and Energy Systems. The Department is closely affiliated with the Research
Institute for Manufacturing and Engineering Systems (http://rimes.utep.edu/),
which has strong relationships with industrial and government partners.
Additionally, the Department has ongoing collaborations with the Texas Tech
University Health Science Center, local school districts, hospitals,
international and national universities, and other UTEP departments.
Excellent manufacturing and analytical research facilities exist
within the College (http://engineering.utep.edu).
The COE houses a class 100/1000 Nanofabrication Center for semiconductor,
biomedical device, and MEMS fabrication; and the Keck Center for 3D Innovation
(http://keck.utep.edu/),
home to state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing technology in additive
manufacturing processes, materials, and applications. In addition to the
basic and applied research at the University, the El Paso/Juarez metroplex
represents a global manufacturing region that provides the opportunity for
faculty to work with U.S. and international manufacturing operations in
real-world industrial settings.
UTEP & El Paso: The University of Texas at
El Paso http://www.utep.edu
is an emerging national research university at the heart of the U.S.-Mexico
border region committed to the ideals of access and excellence. A leader among
Hispanic-serving institutions, UTEP enrolls more than 23,000 students – about
80 percent of them Hispanic – and is the only doctoral research university in
the nation with a student body that is a majority Mexican-American.
UTEP offers 71 bachelor’s, 76 master’s, and 20 doctoral programs – with more in development. UTEP’s nearly $83 million in research spending a year ranks the University among the top 200 universities in the nation; and its more than $35 million in federal research spending ranks fourth among all Texas public universities.

El Paso County is a highly livable, bi-cultural community of 800,000 people that offers affordable homes and is the safest large city in the United States. Shielded by mountains on three sides, El Paso enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine annually and a dry climate, making it possible to engage in outdoor activities year-round. The city of El Paso adjoins both the state of New Mexico and the country of Mexico, making it one of the largest international communities in the world. El Paso comprises 248 square miles and is the sixth largest city in Texas and 19th largest in the United States. The international and multicultural characteristics of the Paso del Norte region provide faculty with unique opportunities to address the border region's most challenging health issues.
El Paso’s active arts and culture community features the state’s longest running symphony orchestra, a nationally recognized chamber music festival, art galleries, history museums, and a full schedule of seasonal festivals and events. UTEP adds to the arts scene with an award-winning dinner theater, contemporary and student art galleries, and a natural history museum.
