Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
Assistant Professor

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 
miles north of Philadelphia, providing an accessible and convenient 
location that offers an appealing mix of urban and rural lifestyles.

All applications must be submitted at 
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/14754. Review of applications 
will begin October 15, 2019 and will continue until the position is 
filled. The application should include a cover letter, a statement of 
research and teaching interests, a statement on diversity, a curriculum 
vitae, names and addresses of at least three references, and 
representative research paper(s).  Inquiries may be addressed to 
Professor Ted Ralphs, Search Committee Chair, ted at lehigh.edu
