On behalf of the IISE Board of Trustees, this is a call for nominations for the position of editor-in-chief of IISE Transactions. This position is a four-year, non-renewable term beginning January 1, 2017.

IISE Transactions is a refereed journal that publishes original, high-quality papers on a wide range of topics of interest to industrial and systems engineers. It publishes papers with a strong methodological focus motivated by real problems that impact engineering practice and research. The journal publishes research motivated by critical and complex engineering problems that arise in a wide variety of domains including manufacturing, service, public policy, health care, security, biotechnology, transportation, and others. Papers that develop emerging areas for industrial and systems engineers are particularly welcome. The journal also publishes papers that integrate industrial engineering with other disciplines including statistics, other engineering disciplines, computer science, biological science, and operations research. The journal is composed of the following four focus areas and is published monthly:

-                  Design and Manufacturing

-                  Operations Engineering and Analytics

The editor-in-chief will be assisted by focused area editors, special-issue editors, and department editors. The position is a voluntary position and a salary is not provided; however, the publisher provides a stipend to carry out editorial functions.
