Applications are invited for a tenure‑track University Assistant/Associate Professorship in Industrial Engineering and Operations Management within the Engineering Department's Manufacturing and Management Division, also known as the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM). The successful candidate will be expected to make novel, significant, and impactful contributions to the IfM's industrially‑engaged research within the domain of Industrial Engineering and Operations Management.
Design and deliver research programmes on topics related to industrial engineering and operations management in application contexts that could include energy systems, healthcare systems, food systems, and other contexts of industrial need.
Develop new research that complements existing work in the division and department with particular emphasis on applying industrial engineering and operations management concepts to support both the scaling‑up of emerging technologies into new products and systems, and the deployment ‘at scale’ of existing technologies to improve organisational and system performance.
Fully contribute to the IfM's teaching activities and be an active contributor to the operational aspects of the IfM and Department, as well as the IfM's wide range of public, industry and policy engagement activities.
Participate in the teaching mission of the IfM as well as the wider Engineering Department and develop strong externally funded, globally recognised, industrially‑engaged research programmes.
