The Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech is seeking outstanding faculty candidates to contribute to our instructional and research efforts in human factors engineering and ergonomics. We particularly seek individuals with expertise in the following occupational areas: biomechanics, ergonomics, injury prevention, and/or safety. Appointments will be considered at the Assistant or Associate Professor ranks, for tenure-track or tenured positions starting in the 2015-2016 academic year.
Applicants should have achieved, or show potential to develop, a strong program of externally funded research and scholarship. The position requires a Ph.D. degree, with at least one degree in human factors engineering, ergonomics, industrial engineering, or a closely related field. We are seeking candidates with exceptional potential for leadership in research and education, and a strong commitment to high quality research. The successful applicant will also be expected to provide skilled teaching of foundational and advanced courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Candidates for Associate Professor should have a strong record of research leadership, publications, and external funding.
Applications must be submitted online at jobs.vt.edu (posting number TR0140111) and include a cover letter, current vita, research statement, teaching statement, up to three relevant research publications (submitted in a single document under ‘Other Doc’), and the names of three references (recommendation letters to be submitted separately by the letter writers to ise-search@vt.edu). Details on how to prepare and submit all materials can be found under “Apply to this Job” on the website. Applications will be accepted until January 5, 2015.
Virginia Tech has a strong commitment to the principle of diversity and inclusive excellence, and, in that spirit, seeks a broad spectrum of candidates including women, minorities, and people with disabilities. Virginia Tech is the recipient of a National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award to increase the participation of women in academic science and engineering careers.
