Faculty Positions in Engineering Systems and Design

 

The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), established in
collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is
seeking exceptional faculty members at all ranks (tenure-track and tenured)
in the areas of Engineering Systems and Design. The university will admit
its first class of students in 2012. SUTD, the first university in the world
with a focus on design accomplished through an integrated multi-disciplinary
curriculum, has a mission to advance knowledge and nurture technically
grounded leaders and innovators to serve societal needs. SUTD is
characterized by a breadth of intellectual perspectives (the "university"),
a focus on engineering foundations ("technology") and an emphasis on
innovation and creativity (design). The University's programs are based on
four pillars, each leading to a separate degree program, with Engineering
Systems and Design one of the four. The faculty in Engineering Systems and
Design is expected to grow rapidly in the next few years, with a
steady-state target of over 70 faculty members, making it one of the largest
such programs in the world.

 

MIT's multi-faceted collaboration with SUTD includes curriculum development
and initial course deployment, faculty and student recruiting, mentoring,
and career development, and collaboration on joint research projects,
through a major new international design centre, funding opportunities, and
student exchanges. Many of the newly hired SUTD faculty will spend up to one
year at MIT in a specially tailored program for professional development and
collaboration. Professor Thomas Magnanti, former Dean of Engineering at MIT
(and former President of INFORMS), is the Founding President of SUTD.

 

We seek individuals with an earned doctorate (or nearing completion) in an
engineering systems-related field, including operations research, operations
management, industrial engineering, systems engineering, applied mathematics
and statistics, economics, public policy, and organizational science.
Individuals with research interests in large scale and complex systems,
including, but not limited to, supply chains, transportation and logistics,
healthcare, energy and the environment, service systems, critical
infrastructure, and security, are particularly encouraged to apply.
Applicants must have a solid grounding in one or more methodology,
including, but not limited to, optimization, stochastic modeling,
statistics, network science, game theory, system dynamics, and
organizational and behavioral sciences. Applicants with a variety of
research approaches, including empirical and experimental, are encouraged to
apply. Applicants should have a strong commitment to teaching at the
undergraduate and graduate levels, to mentoring and advising of
undergraduate and graduate students, and to developing and maintaining an
active research program. Successful candidates can look forward to
internationally competitive remuneration, attractive research startup
packages and grant opportunities, and assistance for relocation to
Singapore.

 

Candidates should submit a letter of interest, a CV, sample publications,
statements of research and teaching interests, and three letters of
reference. Applications are being accepted online at
<http://www.sutd.edu.sg/careers.htm> www.sutd.edu.sg/careers.htm and review
of applications is ongoing. Additional information about the university and
the engineering systems and design pillar can be found at
