engineering departments in the United States and is consistently ranked among
the top programs in the country. The Department has a rich and diverse research
portfolio including human-systems engineering, which has long been a
departmental strength and one which we wish to enhance. Our strategic
initiatives and centers are extensions of the Department’s areas of expertise.
The department houses two State funded centers, including: the Ergonomics
Center of North Carolina, which is the only Center of its kind at a U.S. public
research institution, and the Center for Additive Manufacturing and Logistics,
which is one of the most advanced manufacturing and 3D printing laboratories in
the country. These centers are supported by world-class laboratory facilities,
including: a brain-computer interface lab, a biomechanics lab, a cognitive
ergonomics lab, an automation lab, a manufacturing processes lab, a metrology
lab, and medical implants and tissue engineering labs.
Applicants
for this faculty position must hold an earned doctoral degree in Industrial and
Systems Engineering or closely related field. Teaching responsibilities will
include graduate and undergraduate instruction in human-systems engineering
with a focus on physical systems, including occupational biomechanics and occupational
musculoskeletal disorders, as well as new course development in the areas of
ergonomics in rehabilitation and ergonomics for health care performance
improvement. Applicants will be expected to develop a sponsored research
program focused on their areas of interest with connections to the College of
Engineering Rehabilitation Engineering Core and the ISE Health Systems
Engineering Program. General research responsibilities for faculty include a
commitment to original and independent work, establishing complementary
human-systems engineering research directions in ISE, and pursuing
interdisciplinary collaborations both within, and external to, NC State. The
faculty member will be expected to participate in the North Carolina
Occupational Safety and Health Education and Research Center. Our location in
Raleigh, NC represents the eastern point of the Research Triangle and places us
