The department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Lehigh
University invites applications for a
Full or Associate Professor. We welcome applications from individuals
with strong backgrounds in
any ISE-relevant discipline, including industrial engineering,
operations research, systems engineering,
and computer science. Candidates with a strong background in
high-performance computing and/or
large-scale optimization with interests in financial engineering or
bioinformatics/health care are especially
encouraged to apply. The candidate must demonstrate a strong commitment
to undergraduate and
graduate education, conduct an active research program with strong
external support, and be willing to
explore interdisciplinary research opportunities within the college and
university.

The department is undergoing significant growth in various area of
operations research and computing.
Current research thrusts include (1) optimization, (2) high-performance
computing, (3) manufacturing,
production, and logistics, (4) information systems, and (5) stochastic
processes. Recent hires at the junior
level have joined the Department in these and related areas with
specializations in parallel algorithms,
grid computing, mathematical programming, robust optimization,
telecommunications, and supply
chain analysis.

Established in 1926, the ISE Department currently has 15 full-time
faculty members, 130 undergraduates
and 120 graduate students, about 50 of which are Ph.D. students. We
offer comprehensive research and
education 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. Active research topics
include discrete optimization, high performance
computing, financial optimization, telecommunications, and a variety of
topics in logistics and supply chain
analysis. The Department maintains excellent computational and
laboratory facilities, including a 64-processor
Beowulf cluster for parallel computing. Annual research expenditures
exceed $3.5 million. The Department
has extensive interdisciplinary ties with the business school through
the Center for Value Chain Research and
finance and mathematics departments through the Analytical Finance program.

Review of applications will begin December 1, 2006 and will continue
until the position is filled. Send a statement of
research and teaching interests, a curriculum vita, representative
research paper(s), names and addresses of at least
three references, and a cover letter to Professor Robert H. Storer,
Search Committee Chair, Dept. of Industrial and Systems
Engineering, Mohler Laboratory, 200 West Packer Ave., Lehigh University,
