The Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering at the University of Florida invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor Position starting fall 2016 (one to two years). The ideal candidate would have a background and experience in teaching Industrial Engineering and Operations Research undergraduate and graduate courses. Knowledge of computer programming and information technology is highly preferred. The candidate must possess a Ph.D., preferably in Industrial Engineering or Operations Research. Duties and responsibilities include teaching the undergraduate and graduate master level Industrial Engineering and Operations Research courses and performing collaborative research with the current faculty members in the department.

UF-ISE is on the cutting edge, and faculty in the department are actively working on research topics in Data Mining, Energy, Healthcare, Operations Research, Production Planning, Risk Management, Supply Chain Management, and Transportation. Gainesville is located in the northern region of Florida, within 1-1.5 hours of each coast, and just 1.5-2 hours to Orlando and Tampa. It is a small to medium-sized city which has a low cost of living, excellent public and private schools, and southern hospitality. While Gainesville is widely recognized as the home of the Gators, it is quickly becoming known as a center for innovation and a place with a lifestyle that's comfortable for families, yet attractive for young professionals. In 2013, the Gainesville was deemed the #1 fastest growing city in the U.S. (http://www.eng.ufl.edu/careers/why-gainesville).
