    POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW POSITIONS

    The H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, invites applications for multiple named Postdoctoral Fellow positions. Applicants from all research areas will be considered, including advanced manufacturing; analytics and machine learning; applied probability and simulation; data science and statistics; economic decision analysis; energy and sustainable systems; health and humanitarian systems; optimization; supply chain engineering; and system informatics and control.

    Successful candidates will be expected to perform independent research at the cutting edge of their field in collaboration with a faculty mentor within the school. Candidates will be evaluated on their academic accomplishments, the strength of their research proposal, and their potential for faculty careers that will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity through their teaching, research, and service. The mentor's potential to work productively with the candidate and their commitment to equity and diversity in higher education will also be considered.

    Georgia Tech is a top-ranked public research university situated in the heart of Atlanta, a diverse and vibrant city with great economic and cultural strengths. The Institute is a member of the University System of Georgia, the Georgia Research Alliance, and the Association of American Universities. Georgia Tech prides itself on its technology resources, collaborations, high-quality student body, and its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Georgia Tech has policies to promote a healthy work-life balance.

    Applicants should submit:

    • a letter of application;
    • curriculum vitae;
    • research proposal (up to two pages, not including references and citations);
    • letter from an ISyE faculty member (other than your Ph.D. dissertation advisor if you are currently a student in ISyE) indicating their commitment to serve as your primary mentor;
    • education and background statement (up to one page, describing your personal background and contributions to diversity and equal opportunity through your academic career);
    • thesis abstract (up to one page);
    • writing sample (sample publication or paper, max. 35 pages not including references and citations);
    • names and contact information for three references.

    Application materials should be submitted via https://isye.gatech.edu/about/employment-opportunities/postdoctoral-fellow-positions. Requests for information may be directed to Dr. Alan Erera (postdocsearch@isye.gatech.edu). Review of applications will begin immediately, and the search will continue until the positions are filled. A Ph.D. or equivalent qualification is required by the start of the appointment, and a background check must be completed prior to employment.

    Diversity is one of Georgia Tech's greatest strengths and one of the major priorities identified in our strategic plan. Georgia Tech is an equal education/employment opportunity institution dedicated to building a diverse community. We believe that diversity includes the individual differences among people from differing social, racial, or ethnic backgrounds, gender, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, economic circumstances, personal characteristics, philosophical outlooks, life experiences, perspectives, beliefs, expectations, physical abilities, and aspirations.  Each of these characteristics, both singularly and in combination, contributes to the richness of the Georgia Tech community.
