[IISE Faculty List] K-State Cluster Hire in Biomanufacturing

[Bradley Kramer]

Colleagues,

Kansas State University is hiring up to twelve new faculty members at all ranks and in multiple disciplines to enhance our research and instruction strengths that support the growing biomanufacturing industry in the region through innovation and workforce development. Of particular interest to the IE/OR community, the initiative's research focus areas include biomanufacturing processes and systems and artificial intelligence and machine learning for biomanufacturing. Faculty members hired under this initiative will be invited to identify their primary department home and a secondary department, where appropriate. Faculty who identify the Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering Department as their primary/secondary department will join a team that is highly engaged in interdisciplinary scholarship, with recognized expertise in advanced manufacturing, operations research, and systems engineering.

I would love to have some of these new hires be part of the Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering faculty!  Please encourage your Ph.D. candidates working in biomanufacturing related fields to apply.  Furthermore, if they let me know that they have applied I will certainly advocate on their behalf.

For more information about the K-State Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering Department, please contact Brad Kramer ( bradleyk at ksu.edu<mailto:bradleyk at ksu.edu> )  or visit: https://imse.k-state.edu/

Happy New Year to all!

Brad

Kansas State University (K-State) is hiring up to twelve new faculty members at all ranks and in multiple disciplines to enhance our research and instruction strengths that support the growing biomanufacturing industry in the region through innovation and workforce development.

These faculty will bring innovative research and learning that complements our established reputation in agriculture, biosciences, biosecurity, engineering, and veterinary medicine. As an example of this strength, K-State is leading an NSF Engines Development Award for "Advancing biosecurity, biodefense, and biomanufacturing technologies" and is a member of the Kansas City Inclusive Biologics and Biomanufacturing Tech Hub recently designated by the EDA.

Potential research areas of interest include, but are not limited to, biomaterials development, biomanufacturing processes and systems, bioprocessing, artificial intelligence and machine learning for biomanufacturing, synthetic biology in microbes/plants, synthetic microbial communities, and vector-borne diseases.

The initiative invites hired faculty members to identify primary and secondary, if appropriate, departments/programs of interest for affiliation. Additional information about this exciting initiative can be found at
