APPLICATIONS INVITED FOR A FACULTY POSITION

We invite applications for a full-time, tenure-track professional appointment at the assistant, associate, or full professor level to begin September 2010.  Applicants should hold an earned Ph.D. (or should be near completion of their doctoral studies in the case of assistant professor applicants) with a demonstrated research potential in industrial engineering and operations research.  Individuals with research interests in stochastic optimization, production and service operations, supply chain management, financial engineering and systems engineering are especially encouraged to apply.  Industrial experience is desirable; a strong commitment to rigorous and relevant research is essential.

The Department offers an undergraduate program, a Ph.D. program and a part-time professional master's degree program in engineering management.  Both the undergraduate and graduate programs have been consistently ranked among the top ten by US News & World Report.

Applications must be submitted electronically to www.iems.northwestern.edu/career/.  Materials to be uploaded include a cover letter and a curriculum vitae detailing educational background, research and work experience.  For assistant professor candidates letters of recommendation from three references should be mailed or e-mailed directly to the address below; candidates currently holding associate or full professor rank should provide complete contact information for three references.  To receive full consideration, all materials should be received by December 31, 2009.
