Work type: Full Time

Location: Troy, NY

Categories: Faculty

Job Summary:

(Troy, New York) As a Senior Lecturer in the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department, this position will prepare and deliver various courses during the academic year. The potential candidate will spend 95% of their time in the office and approximately 5% at the main RPI campus in Troy, NY, for meetings and other teaching-related activities.

Specifically, this individual will perform the following duties:

  • Advise and supervise students;
  • Perform research;
  • Author grant proposals;
  • Author scholarly publications; and
  • Serve on departmental committees.

The Senior Lecturer may teach the following courses, among others:

  • ISYE 4200- Design and Analysis of Work Systems: Analysis and design of work and workplace. Topics covered include human-machine systems, ergonomics, work measurement systems, methods and standards, process design, direct time study, standard time data, predetermined time systems, work sampling, workload balancing, and workplace layout. Computer-based analysis of problems in work systems.
  • ISYE 4240- Engineering Program Management: Planning, controlling, and evaluating engineering projects. Use of network analysis techniques, PERT/CPM, budget control, time/cost tradeoff, time estimation, resource allocation, and resource leveling. Extensions include probabilistic models, multiple resource models, project organization, risk analysis, technical forecasting, and network theory. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and ENGR 4750.
  • ISYE 4280- Decision Focused Systems Engineering: The objective of this course is to introduce students to systems engineering, especially from a decision-focused perspective. System concepts, methodologies, models and analysis are covered in relation to a system's design, development, test, evaluation, and operation. Decisions concerning a system's reliability, maintainability, usability, disposability, and affordability are systematically considered. A range of systems, including service systems, is also considered.
  • ISYE 4300- Complex Systems Models for Industrial & Systems Engineering: This course introduces simulation-based modeling methods for complex systems frequently encountered and used by industrial and systems engineers. Examples include production systems, queuing networks, communication systems, healthcare systems, supply chains, social networks, transportation systems, and financial markets. This course introduces techniques including discrete-event simulation and agent-based simulation for modeling and analyzing interdependent, interacting, and coupling variables, agents, components, and related subsystems.
  • ISYE 4320- Theory of Scheduling: Problems of scheduling several tasks over time. Topics include measures of performance, single machine sequencing, flowshop scheduling, the jobshop problem, and priority dispatching. Integer programming, dynamic programming, and heuristic approaches to various problems are also presented.
  • ENGR 2600- Modeling and Analysis of Uncertainty: Appreciation and understanding of uncertainties and the conditions under which they occur, within the context of the engineering problem-solving pedagogy of measurements, models, validation, and analysis. Problems and concerns in obtaining measurements; tabular and graphical organization of data to minimize misinformation and maximize information; and development and evaluation of models. Concepts will be supported with a computer demonstration. Applications to problems in engineering are emphasized.

Requirements: Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering or a related field.

Rate of Pay Range: $69,300 to $96,000 per year

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Institute programs serve undergraduates, graduate students, and working professionals around the world. Nearly 29 percent of undergraduate students this year are from areas outside of the Northeast. , in addition to the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and from countries all around the world.

Rensselaer offers at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. Students are encouraged to work in that allow them to combine scholarly work from several departments or schools. The university provides rigorous, engaging, interactive learning environments and campus-wide opportunities for leadership, collaboration, and creativity.

For almost , Rensselaer has maintained its reputation for providing an undergraduate education of undisputed intellectual rigor based on educational innovation in the laboratory, classroom, and studio.

Driven by talented, dedicated, and forward-thinking , Rensselaer has dramatically expanded the by leveraging our existing strengths and focusing on five signature research areas: ; ; ; ; and .

The Institute is especially well-known for its success in the transfer of technology from the laboratory to the marketplace so that benefit human life, protect the environment, and strengthen economic development.

Academic Approach and Educational Innovations

Rensselaer is anchored by two vibrant roots:

  • One root, written into the , is the application of science to the common purposes of life. This kept the focus on engineering solutions to national and international needs and challenges. constructed the canals, roads, bridges, skyscrapers, and basic infrastructure of America, which helped to form the basis for 20th century society.
  • The second root, also built into the school's origin, was the employment of unique educational strategies. In the earliest days, after initial instruction, students taught what they knew to each other since teaching reinforces learning. Likewise, students performed scientific experiments rather than watch faculty conduct them, as had been the common practice.

The Rensselaer Plan 2024

Armed with our intellects, our energy, and a bold vision for the future, we launched a process to realize the mission of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in new and tangible ways. We conceived and implemented , to bring new meaning, and new substance, to the question we ask ourselves as the first technological university in the nation: Why not change the world?

We began our journey of transformation where necessity demanded. We have made major investments in our people, programs, platforms, and partnerships; and, together, we have brought about a true Renaissance at Rensselaer. These investments have enabled us to transform Rensselaer into a top-tier technological research university with global reach and global impact. That transformation serves as a solid foundation on which we will build even greater achievements in the future.

Our journey of transformation continues, under . In the same spirit as its precursor, the revised Plan is evergreen, prepared to grow and evolve, as the Institute grows and evolves. In advancing The Rensselaer Plan 2024, we are moving from transforming Rensselaer to Rensselaer being transformative: transformative in our students' lives; transformative in our innovative pedagogy, nationally and internationally; transformative in the global impact of our research.
