The Department of Integrated Systems (ISE) at The Ohio State University,
one of the nation’s top ten public universities, invites applications for
a senior-level tenure-track position focusing on data analytics, data
mining and data-driven optimization (Associate or Full Professor). ISE
offers degrees (BS, MS and Ph.D.) in Industrial and Systems Engineering.
This position is partially funded by Ohio State's Discovery Themes
Initiative, a significant faculty hiring investment in key thematic areas
in which the university can build on its culture of academic collaboration
to make a global impact. It builds upon the department’s long history of
leadership in operations research and engineering statistics. The position
is part of a University-wide initiative in Data Analytics, created in
recognition of the fact that traditional approaches to decision making
under uncertainty are inadequate when confronted with access to massive
amounts of data, especially when such data becomes available over time.
These challenges require core research focusing on domain-independent
modeling, data mining, simulation, data-driven optimization and decision
making techniques that provide coherent solutions across a wide variety of
application domains, as well as a focus on the challenges offered by
specific application areas.
The successful applicant will provide leadership by creating
interdisciplinary research teams, bringing together faculty within ISE and
across the University with a focus on data analytics, data-driven
optimization, computer science and statistics. This will include a focus
on specific application areas in order to develop new programs of research
that have a tangible impact on the data analytics community. The faculty
member will be expected to seek research funding from federal, state and
industry sources, supervise graduate student research, and disseminate
research results through high quality peer-reviewed publications. The
faculty member will also expand course offerings in data analytics,
data-driven optimization, systems modeling and data mining, at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels.
Interested candidates should submit a complete curriculum vitae, a
separate statement of current and future research interests, a statement
of teaching philosophy, and contact information for five references
electronically, to the following email address: freitas.6 at osu.edu. The
search committee will start reviewing new applications for this position
on October 1, 2015. The position will remain open until it is filled.
