MULTIPLE FACULTY OPENINGS
Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering
Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering
University of Florida
The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering at the University of Florida invites applications for three full-time tenure-track or tenured faculty positions beginning August 2017. Outstanding applicants at assistant, associate and full professor levels will be considered. Candidates with interests in Advanced Manufacturing, Energy, Defense, Transportation, and Supply Chain Systems; Healthcare and Cognitive Engineering; Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning and Internet of Things; Network Optimization; and Systems Engineering and Design are encouraged to apply.
The Department of ISE has 11 tenured/tenure-track faculty members, one teaching faculty member, two assistant research scientists, five postdoctoral fellows, 500 undergraduate students, and 165 graduate students. The department's current external research expenditures exceed $2.1 million annually. The Department of ISE offers BS, ME, MS, and PhD programs. Areas of strength include deterministic and stochastic optimization and their applications to financial, manufacturing, supply chain and health care systems. More information about the department is available at http://www.ise.ufl.edu. The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering is currently under the transformation of powering the new engineer. This transformation will fund additional faculty to increase tenure and tenure-track faculty to 300, several state-of-the-art facilities and enhancements in engineering education delivery. More information about the college is available at http://eng.ufl.edu.
The Department of ISE welcomes applications from individuals with strong backgrounds who hold a doctorate in ISE or in any ISE-relevant discipline. It is desirable that the applicant has a BS degree in engineering. Successful candidates are expected to contribute to research and educational programs, including developing and sustaining an externally-funded, interdisciplinary research program, supervising graduate students, and teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in industrial and systems engineering. Junior candidates must exhibit outstanding potential and have interests in interdisciplinary collaboration. Mid-career candidates must be emerging leaders in their field, have a strong publication and funding record, and be involved in interdisciplinary collaboration. Senior candidates must have demonstrated scientific leadership with an exceptional publication and external funding record, excellence in interdisciplinary collaboration, and a dedication to maintaining excellence in these areas.
Multiple institutes at the University of Florida (e.g., Florida Climate Institute, Florida Energy Systems Consortium, Informatics Institute, Institute for Sustainable Food Systems, Institute for Sustainable Energy, Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology Research, Nanoscience Institute for Medical and Engineering Technology, Transportation Institute, Genetics Institute, and Water Institute) support interdisciplinary research. More information about the interdisciplinary institutes is available at http://institutes.ufl.edu/
Application packets consisting of a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests, a statement of teaching interests for existing and new courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, copies of two or three significant publications, and contact information for three references may be submitted at https://jobs.ufl.edu/. Review of applications will begin December 1, 2016, and will continue until the positions are filled. For additional questions, you may contact the search committee chair Dr. Elif Akçalı at akcali@ufl.edu
