Purdue University has identified /Next Generation Manufacturing/ as a 
major thrust for cross-disciplinary research and education. *We are 
currently accepting applications to fill multiple positions for 
tenure-track and tenured positions at the Assistant/Associate/Full 
Professor levels. *

The ability to rapidly deliver customized, cost-efficient products and 
services with predictable performance is clearly the next frontier in 
manufacturing. Purdue's Next Generation Manufacturing initiative aims to 
combine latest advances in tailored materials and novel manufacturing 
processes; multi-scale modeling of products, services and systems; and, 
on-demand, customer-driven product and supply-chain design enabled by 
ubiquitous cyberinfrastructure to sustainably deliver personalized 
products, anywhere, anytime, with the efficiency of mass production. 
This effort builds on Purdue's strengths and leverages capabilities in 
these areas in the Colleges of Engineering, Science, and Technology, and 
the Krannert School of Management, as well as Discovery Park.

We invite applications from candidates with research and teaching 
interests aligning with this initiative. Successful candidates will join 
a strong manufacturing faculty group on campus, and will have a unique 
opportunity to help shape Purdue's vision and research/education agenda 
in manufacturing. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in a 
field of Engineering, Management, Science, Technology or areas related 
to manufacturing. They should have a distinguished academic record, 
exceptional potential for world-class research, and a commitment to 
teaching and collaborative interdisciplinary activities. Specific 
research fields of interest in the next generation manufacturing cluster 
include, but are not limited to, the following: i*) cyber-enabled 
experimentation; ii) optimization and design-on-the-fly; iii) 
multi-scale predictive modeling; iv) scaling principles for novel 
materials and processes; v) personalization of products and services; 
and vi) social manufacturing.*

The successful candidates will teach undergraduate and graduate courses 
in topics related to disciplines involved, conduct research in their 
field of expertise, publish and present research findings, participate 
in professional activities, and advise graduate student research. The 
primary faculty appointment will be in the Colleges of Engineering, 
Science, or Technology, or the Krannert School of Management, and will 
depend on the candidate's qualifications; 
cross-department/school/college appointments are anticipated.

Submit application at: 
https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/AboutUs/Employment/Applications. The 
application should include a cover letter, a complete and detailed 
vitae, and statements of research and teaching interests. Also, please 
include names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses for 
four or more references. For questions regarding the application 
process, please contact Marion Ragland (ragland at purdue.edu). Screening 
of applications will begin October 1, 2013 and will continue until the 
positions are filled. A background check will be required for employment 
in this position.
