Engineering*

*Virginia Tech – Assistant Professor, Manufacturing Analytics and AI*



The Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) at
Virginia Tech invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at
the rank of Assistant Professor, effective August 2024. We seek outstanding
candidates with a focus on *Manufacturing Analytics and Artificial
Intelligence (AI)*, including but not limited to advanced manufacturing;
design automation and generative design; autonomous manufacturing
processes; Industrial Internet; AI and machine learning for advanced
manufacturing; AI applications to materials discovery and materials genome;
machine-process interactions; digital twins; robotics, automation, and
human-robotic interaction; renewable and sustainable manufacturing
processes and systems; emerging topics in manufacturing and supply chain,
such as sustainability, security, and resilience; and closely related areas
within the domains of Manufacturing Design and Process Innovation, and
Augmented Industrial Data and Decision Science. We are seeking candidates
motivated to contribute to a collegial, interdisciplinary community with a
strong tradition of both fundamental and applied research, high-quality
teaching, and mentoring.

The ISE Department has 33 tenured/tenure-track faculty, with an additional
ten non-tenure-track instructional and research faculty. Six faculty are
recent early investigator recipients, and numerous others have received
international or national recognition. Academic programs and research in
the department encompass Human Factors Engineering and Ergonomics,
Management and Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Systems Engineering, and
Operations Research. Candidates will thus have the opportunity to work with
a broad range of departmental faculty, as well as with faculty in many
other colleges, centers, and institutes at Virginia Tech. The department is
home to approximately 600 undergraduate students, 140 master’s students,
and 115 doctoral students. The undergraduate and graduate ISE programs are
currently ranked fourth and sixth, respectively, by U.S. News & World
Report.  Additional information is available at: www.ise.vt.edu.

serve), Virginia Tech is dedicated to InclusiveVT—serving in the spirit of
community, diversity, and excellence. Virginia Tech actively seeks a broad
spectrum of candidates to join our community in preparing leaders for the
world. The College of Engineering undergraduate program ranks 16th and
graduate program ranks 30th among all U.S. engineering schools (USN&WR).
The Mission of the College of Engineering is to educate and inspire our
students to be critical thinkers, innovators and leaders.  Our core values
are inclusiveness, excellence, integrity, perseverance and

Tech's main campus is located in Blacksburg, VA, in an area consistently
ranked among the country's best places to live. In addition, our program in
the Washington, D.C. area offers unique proximity to government and
industry partners and is also expanding rapidly, with Virginia Tech's
exciting new Innovation Campus in Alexandria, VA, slated to open in 2024.

Candidates are expected to lead innovative scholarship and research,
develop and sustain an externally-funded research program, teach and mentor
undergraduate and graduate students, and serve the university and the
profession.  The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in industrial and
systems engineering or a closely related field, a strong record of academic
accomplishments, a demonstrated ability to work collaboratively, a
commitment to interdisciplinary research and instruction, and a willingness
to expand disciplinary boundaries to address complex technical and societal
challenges.

Application materials include a cover letter, CV, up to three relevant
research publications, and contact information for at least three
professional references. In addition, applicants must provide a research
statement and a teaching & mentoring philosophy (limited to three pages
each). The teaching & mentoring statement should describe the candidate’s
ideas for supporting an equitable and inclusive educational environment
consistent with the Virginia Tech Principles of Community; specific
examples of experiences, activities, and plans will help us identify
candidates who can support and extend our University’s commitment to
inclusive excellence. Review of applications will commence November 6, 2023
and continue until the position is filled. Questions regarding the
positions should be directed to Dr. Ran Jin (jran5 at vt.edu).
