SYSTEMS FACULTY POSITION
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.

Candidates must register with the School of Engineering Faculty Search
