One of the country’s most selective public research universities, Clemson University serves a uniquely driven and highly accomplished student body.

Ranked consistently as one of the best national public university by U.S.News & World Report, Clemson is a science- and engineering-oriented college dedicated to teaching, research and service. Founded in 1889, we remain committed both to world-class research and a high quality of life. In fact, 91 percent of our seniors say they’d pick Clemson again if they had it to do over.

Clemson’s retention and graduation rates rank among the highest in the country for public universities. We’ve been named among the best values by Kiplinger magazine in 2013, and SmartMoney in 2012 ranked us No. 7 in student return on investment.

Our beautiful college campus sits on 1,400 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, along the shores of Hartwell Lake. But we also have research facilities and economic development hubs throughout the state of South Carolina — in Greenville, Greenwood, Columbia and Charleston.

The Department of Industrial Engineering (IE) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor rank with an anticipated start date of August 2024.

We are seeking candidates with strong methodological background in data analytics, applied statistics, data-driven modeling, and the interplay between these areas and operations research. We are open to both traditional and novel application domains including, but not limited to, advanced manufacturing, supply chains, healthcare, cybersecurity, humanitarian operations, social good, transportation, the environment, and sustainability. The expected rank is assistant professor; however, applicants with outstanding credentials may be considered at the rank of associate professor.

The Department of Industrial Engineering currently has 23 full-time faculty members with additional growth expected over the next few years. We have a student population of 500 undergraduate students, 125 M.S. students, and 50 Ph.D. students. Furthermore, our online Master of Engineering (MEng) program has over 80 enrolled students. Additional information about the Department is available at http://ie.clemson.edu.
