<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The IISE Technical Operations Board (TOB), in partnership with the Council of Industrial Engineering Academic Department Heads (CIEADH), is seeking nominations for the Future Faculty Fellows
(3F) Program. The <span style="color:#1F3864">yearlong</span> 3F program is designed to give ISE PhD students the opportunity to explore and prepare for a faculty position in academia. Our goal is for the program participants to develop an understanding of
the academic job market and <span style="color:#1F3864">successfully prepare</span> their first faculty positions.
<span style="color:#1F3864">These Fellows</span> will be required to <span style="color:#1F3864">
participate</span> monthly seminars. In addition, they will be paired with a faculty mentor to have regular one-on-one meetings. The program will culminate with an event at the 202<span style="color:#1F3864">4</span> IISE Annual Conference. Senior PhD students
(anticipated to graduate within 1-2 years) who are IISE members are eligible to be nominated for this program by their faculty advisors or department head/chair. In this year, we will select a cohort of
<span style="color:#1F3864">15</span> participants to begin in <span style="color:#1F3864">
