<p class="MsoNormal">The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) working with Oak Ridge National Lab, recently launched a $20M Convergent Research Initiative (CRI) called “Advanced Manufacturing for Affordable Building Construction. The CRI will hire 10 Research
Professors at UTK, 10 researchers at ORNL, and at least 25 graduate students over the next five years drive innovation, boost productivity and establish Tennessee as a tech hub for building technologies. Several positions will be affiliated with the Industrial
and Systems Engineering Department. Could you help disseminate the following position related to optimization? Additional positions will be posted later this year in other ISE domains, including human-robotics interactions, AI-people teaming, standardization,
quality assurance, etc. <o:p></o:p></p>
