The Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) at Virginia Tech is seeking outstanding candidates committed to undergraduate teaching. This position is for a non-tenure-track collegiate faculty at the Assistant Professor level, effective August 2020. The collegiate faculty rank includes a clear promotion path with increasingly long-term contracts.

This position is an academic year (AY) position, with opportunity for summer compensation.

 

We are seeking candidates with a broad teaching interest and strong pedagogical methods to support our growing student population. Current areas of interest include data management (databases), discrete-event simulation, probability theory, engineering economy, and facility planning and design. The position requires a Ph.D. degree, with at least one degree in industrial and systems engineering or a closely related field. Preferred qualifications include breadth of expertise in these areas, experience teaching undergraduate courses in one or more of these areas, and experience teaching large classes.

 

Applications must be submitted online at jobs.vt.edu (posting number 511802) and include a cover letter, current CV, teaching statement (including classes taught, class sizes, and teaching evaluation results), diversity statement, and the names of at least three references.
