The H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, invites applications for endowed professorship and endowed chair positions. Applicants from all research areas relevant to the discipline will be considered, including but not limited to health systems and supply chain engineering. Appointments can be made at either the Associate Professor or Professor ranks with tenure, commensurate with the individual's record.

Georgia Tech prides itself on its technological resources, collaborations, high-quality student body, and its commitment to building an outstanding community of learning, discovery, and creation. We strongly encourage applicants whose values align with our institutional values. These values include academic excellence, freedom of expression and inquiry, innovation, collaboration, and ethical behavior and stewardship. Georgia Tech has policies to promote a healthy work-life balance and is aware that attracting faculty may require meeting the needs of two careers.

ISyE senior faculty are expected to be internationally recognized researchers who lead independent research programs at the cutting edge of their fields. They will have a demonstrated ability to attract external funding, to engage with industry and other partners, and to provide leadership within the school, Georgia Tech, and the professional community. Candidates are also expected to demonstrate a commitment to excellence in education, and faculty in our school all participate to the teaching and mentoring of both undergraduate and graduate students. Expectations of holding an endowed appointment include providing an annual stewardship report coordinated by the school's Development Office and building and maintaining a relationship with the donor(s) as appropriate.

• An earned doctorate in Industrial Engineering or related field is required by the start of the appointment.

• Successful candidates have an exemplary track record of research accomplishments as well as expertise or demonstrated interest in teaching and service. 

Applicants should submit as a PDF:

• A letter of application
• Curriculum vitae
• A statement of research interests
• A statement of education interests addressing teaching interests as well as advising/mentoring philosophy (including teaching evaluations, if available)
• The names and contact information for three references. (Make sure your references are included in the required attachments.)

To receive full consideration, please submit your application by December 15, 2026.  Applications will be reviewed and evaluated until the positions are filled.

Requests for information may be directed to the search committee chair, Dr. Alan Erera at alan.erera@isye.gatech.edu. Applications will be considered effective immediately, but the search will continue until the positions are filled. A background check must be completed prior to beginning employment.
