The Department of Systems Engineering and Management at the Air Force

position with a start date as early as 1 Jan 2014.  The successful candidate
will possess an earned doctorate in systems engineering,

Management offering PhD in systems engineering and master's degrees in
systems engineering, engineering management, cost analysis, environmental

accredited by ABET.  The  department  has  a  strong record  of  publication
and  externally  funded research with particular emphasis on defense-related
issues. There are 20 full-time faculty and 6 staff and administrative
personnel serving an enrollment of nearly 150 graduate   students.      For
more   information   about   the   department,   please   visit   our

AFIT is a federal and fully-accredited academic institution.   As a
doctoral/research university, AFIT's Graduate School of Engineering and
Management offers 14 PhD and 23 MS programs.  Research, funded from
Department of Defense (DoD) and non-DoD agencies, is often accomplished
through one of seven research centers.  The Institute provides
defense-focused graduate education primarily for DoD personnel (military
officers, enlisted, and civilians) who are competitively selected to attend
AFIT full-time with full fellowships.   International officers and part-time
students also attend AFIT.   The school is located at Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base (WPAFB) near Dayton, Ohio.   WPAFB is the largest single base for
research, development, and acquisition in the Air Force.  It is home to the
Air Force Materiel Command, Life Cycle Management Center, Air Force Research
Laboratory, and National Air and Space Intelligence Center, all of which
actively sponsor research at AFIT.  This nexus of intellectual capital
provides an ideal collaborative research environment between AFIT faculty
and students and these organizations.

To apply for the position, please submit a letter of application and a
professional curriculum vitae that includes the names and contact
information for three references (including email addresses) who will be
contacted  only  with  the  permission  of  the  applicant.    Additionally,
please  submit  a  statement  that articulates your vision, both as a
department head and a faculty member, of how you will contribute to AFIT's
mission.  This position requires U.S. Citizenship and the eligibility to
gain a security clearance. Excellent civil service retirement, healthcare,
and other benefits are included.

AFIT is a member of the NSF ADVANCE LEADER Consortium (
<http://www.wright.edu/leader/> www.wright.edu/leader/), and candidates are
expected to share AFIT's commitment to this and other campus diversity
initiatives. Members of historically under-represented groups are
particularly encouraged to apply.  AFIT is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative
Action Employer.  We welcome applications from all qualified and eligible
candidates.
