Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST)
Department of Industrial Engineering
Tenure-track Faculty Positions
Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) was founded in 2009 as the fourth National Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea. Since its opening, UNIST has truly become one of world's leading science and technology universities, despite being younger than its peers.
The Department of Industrial Engineering was established in 2016 based to counter a lack of related skills in the metropolitan city of Ulsan, the hub of Korean industry, where more than one million people are living. The department offers undergraduate, MSc, and PhD programs.
The Department of Industrial Engineering is seeking applicants for several full-time, tenure-track or tenured faculty positions, expected to begin on September 2021. Appointments can be made at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor rank, commensurate with the individual's record. Candidates should have a PhD degree (or near completion of the degree for assistant professor-level applicants) in closely related disciplines (e.g., Industrial Engineering, Statistics, Computer Science) and demonstrate a strong competence in both research and teaching. Our hiring philosophy is that instead of simply counting the number of publications, we seek applicants with academic intelligence, integrity, grit, and potential for excellent research and educational achievement.
