The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities invites applications to fill a full-time tenure-track faculty position beginning fall 2022. Exceptional applicants, with particularly strong records of research, teaching, scientific leadership and creativity, will be considered for higher rank and tenure depending upon experience and qualifications.

Applicants should hold or expect to complete by fall 2022 a Ph.D. in Engineering, Operations Research, Operations Management, or a related discipline, and have demonstrated the potential to conduct a vigorous and significant research program as evidenced by their publication record and supporting reference letters. The candidate’s expertise and documented research activities must demonstrate a strong potential to enhance both the department’s research and teaching missions. The successful candidate is expected to build a strong, externally funded, highly visible research program and to become a recognized leader. Information on current research activities of department faculty can be found at http://isye.umn.edu/faculty/. The ability to teach effectively a wide variety of classes related to industrial engineering at both the graduate and undergraduate levels to a diverse group of students is required.

We seek and value candidates whose research is problem-driven and grounded in a broad set of methodological foundations. Individuals whose interests and backgrounds are at the intersection of Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, or Data Analytics with other fields in Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, Public Health, and Economics, are encouraged to apply. Applicants should have a demonstrated interest in applications including, but not limited to healthcare delivery and medical decision making, smart transportation and smart cities, supply chains and service operations, energy systems and the environment, platforms and marketplaces, and cyber-physical systems.
