<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are searching for prospective Ph.D. students interested in working at the intersection of statistics, machine learning, and optimization with applications to planning hybrid (computer and physical) experiments in a reliability growth
environment. We plan to hire one or more students to begin Industrial Engineering Ph.D. studies in (or before) Fall 2024. Only U.S. citizens are eligible for this opportunity.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please pass this along if you know of students who may be interested. Students can express interest by sending an email with attached resume to Haitao Liao (liao@uark.edu), Ed Pohl (epohl@uark.edu), or Kelly Sullivan (ksulliv@uark.edu).
We plan to make selections for the position(s) early in the Spring 2024 semester, so interested students should contact us no later than December 31, 2023.<o:p></o:p></p>
