The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) at Lehigh
University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor
position. Candidates must possess a Ph.D. and a strong methodological
background in any ISE-relevant discipline, including but not limited to
data analysis and learning, optimization, and stochastic methods. The
Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science is pursuing an exciting
research agenda guided by strategic research directions (
https://engineering.lehigh.edu/research), so applicants with a background
in relevant application areas, such as health, energy, service, or
manufacturing systems are especially encouraged to apply. Lehigh University
is committed to increasing the diversity and inclusion in the university
community and curriculum. Candidates are expected to demonstrate a strong
commitment to undergraduate and graduate education and pursue a vibrant
research agenda.
Tracing its roots to the creation of the Industrial Engineering program in
1924, the ISE Department currently has 20 full-time faculty members, 185
undergraduate and 180 graduate students, 35 of whom are Ph.D. students. The
department offers comprehensive research and educational programs at the
B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. levels. The ISE faculty maintains an outstanding
international reputation in a variety of research areas. ISE is undergoing
significant growth in various areas of operations research, data analytics,
and computing. Current research thrusts include (1) Data Science and
Machine Learning; (2) Energy and Service Systems; (3) High Performance
Computing; (4) Mathematical Optimization; and (5) Stochastic Methods, but
the department is always looking to expand our research footprint.
The Department maintains excellent computational and laboratory facilities,
including high-performance computing and other associated infrastructure
housed in a state-of-the-art facility maintained as part of the Laboratory
for Computational Optimization Research. Department faculty also have
access to centralized facilities dedicated to high-performance computing.
Annual research expenditures exceed $2.5 million. The Department has
extensive interdisciplinary ties with other departments at Lehigh through
interdisciplinary master's programs in healthcare and financial
engineering, as well as participation in the college's flagship research
institutes: the Institute for Data, Intelligent Systems, and Computation
and the Institute for Cyber Physical Infrastructure and Energy.
For 150 years, Lehigh University has combined outstanding academic and
learning opportunities with leadership in fostering innovative research.
The institution is among the nation's most selective, highly ranked private
research universities. Lehigh's four colleges provide graduate and
undergraduate education to approximately 7,000 students. Located in
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Lehigh is 80 miles west of New York City and 50
