The Industrial, Manufacturing, & Systems Engineering Department at The University of Texas at Arlington invites applications for a tenure/tenure-track faculty position with focus in human factors with a tentative starting date in fall 2019. Candidates with expertise in human-machine interface, automation, and environmental health and safety are encouraged to apply. Exceptionally qualified candidates may also be considered for the George and Elizabeth Pickett Professorship.

 

The IMSE Department is looking for faculty members with outstanding qualifications who share the University’s core values of high standards of excellence in teaching, innovative and collaborative research, and service, combined with fostering an open and inclusive environment and promoting diversity and participation of groups that are currently underrepresented in engineering fields. A major emphasis will be on potential collaboration for research with faculty members within and outside the department.

New faculty are expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses, build and lead a team of Ph.D. student researchers, develop an externally funded research program that yields top-tier publications, and serve on committees within UTA and the research community. In addition, new faculty will have opportunities to work with the Division of Enterprise Development, which develops targeted training programs to support local and regional industry.

Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. degree (All-But-Dissertation, ABD, cases will be considered) in industrial engineer or a closely related area. IMSE expects all candidates considered for the rank of Assistant Professor to have demonstrated exceptional research promise. Candidates for senior openings must be leading their research area. All IMSE faculty also have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and service.
