Systems and Industrial Engineering Department

The University of Arizona

The Systems and Industrial Engineering Department at the University of Arizona invites applications and nominations for two tenure-track positions with an anticipated start date of August 2016. The department is seeking individuals with a rigorous foundation in one or more areas related to Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, and/or Engineering Management with a particular focus on (1) Data Driven Mathematical Modeling and Optimization, (2) Hospital/Medicine Operations, (3) Human Cognition System, and (4) System Informatics and Data Analytics. Applications for the rank of Assistant Professor will be considered for both positions, and highly-qualified candidates will be considered at the rank of Associate or Full Professor for one of the two positions. Candidates for senior ranks must have a distinguished record of published research and demonstrate significant impact on the profession.

The faculty member will be expected to establish a strong research program, teach undergraduate and graduate courses, and contribute to mentoring students, including those from underrepresented backgrounds.

In these and other ways, the faculty member will help to develop innovative approaches to enhancing student engagement, increasing diversity, and expanding collaborations with community and business partners.

The Department was founded in 1960 as the first degree-granting department of Systems Engineering in the world. The Department now houses three integrated academic programs leading to Accredited BS degrees in Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, as well as MS degrees in Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Engineering Management, and a PhD degree in Systems and Industrial Engineering.

The University of Arizona, a Research I institution, ranks 18th among public institutions in annual research expenditures, while the Systems and Industrial Engineering Department was listed among the top 25 programs by the US News and World Report. The Department has strong programs in the fundamentals of systems engineering, operations research and industrial engineering, including decision systems, optimization, stochastic systems, quality and reliability, systems engineering and design, modeling and simulation, and is involved in several interdisciplinary programs. Additional details can be found on the department web page: http://www.sie.arizona.edu.

Applications must be submitted on-line at https://uacareers.com (citing posting # F20277). Candidates should include a curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, cover letter, and list of references.
