The Department of Engineering Management, Information, and Systems 
(EMIS) invites nominations and applications for an opportunity to be 
involved in the shaping of innovative academic programs in Operations 
Research, Management Science, Engineering Management, Systems 
Engineering, and Information Engineering. We seek outstanding candidates 
for three open rank faculty positions (two tenure-track and one 
lecturer) in all areas relevant to our academic programs and all areas 
of industrial and systems engineering -- methodological and applied – 
including but not limited to advanced data analytics, optimization, 
stochastic modeling, simulation, and model-based systems engineering 
with applications in supply-chain, manufacturing, health-care, 
information, and energy.

Eligible candidates for the positions must have completed requirements 
for a doctoral degree in operations research, industrial engineering, or 
related field by August, 2020; and must have the expertise to teach 
courses in areas relevant to our programs at the undergraduate, masters, 
and doctoral levels. Eligible candidates for tenure-track junior faculty 
positions are expected to demonstrate the ability to develop a strong, 
externally-funded research program and help advance the frontiers of 
knowledge. Candidates for senior positions at Associate or Full 
Professor levels should have a commensurate record of research 
publications and external funding and an outstanding potential for 
research program development and research leadership.
