[Iefac.list] Faculty Position in Data Analytics and Data-Driven Optimization at The Ohio State University

[Ramteen Sioshansi]

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.
