MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS



The MIT Department of Chemical Engineering together with the Institute for 

Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS) are seeking candidates for a joint tenure-

track faculty position starting in July 2019 or on a mutually agreed date 

thereafter. Appointments will be at the assistant or untenured associate 

professor level. In special cases, a senior faculty appointment may be 

possible. Faculty duties include teaching, research, and supervision of 

students. 



We will consider candidates with background and interest in the general 

area of Systems, that is, analysis, optimization, design, and/or control of 

complex interconnected systems. Expertise areas of interests include, but 

are not limited to:



• Systems technologies for energy, materials, chemicals, and/or biomedical 

applications

• Advanced manufacturing systems, e.g., modeling, analysis, design, and 

control of manufacturing of products with specified molecular, micro, or 

mesoscale structures

• Mathematical modeling, design, and/or control of electrochemical systems

• Machine learning, high-dimensional statistics, data analytics for 

engineering applications

• Systems biology, systems biomedicine, and metabolic engineering

• Systems theory and algorithms for molecular and nanoscale systems

• Renewable energy and interconnected energy-water-food systems

• Design of products for sustainability, e.g., recycling systems, 

technoeconomic analysis, life cycle assessment



We are interested in candidates who have the vision and interest to 

contribute to the research frontier of emerging interdisciplinary fields. 

Appointment will be made in partnership with IDSS and the MIT Department of 

Chemical Engineering.
