<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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 yearlong 3F program is designed to give Industrial & Systems Engineering PhD students the opportunity to explore and prepare for a faculty position in academia. Our goal is for participants of the 3F program to develop an understanding of the academic
job market and learn how to market themselves for their first faculty position. These fellows will participate in monthly virtual panels, including a Career panel; Deans and chair panel; Job application and interview process; Writing quality research, teaching
and diversity statements; Professional networking & engagement. In addition, they will be paired with a faculty mentor to have regular one-on-one meetings. The program will culminate with a workshop at the IISE Annual Conference.

We will select a cohort of approximately 15-20 participants to begin in October 2025.
