Job Description:

The Department of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering (SSIE) in the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science at Binghamton University (The State University of New York at Binghamton) invites applications for two (2) faculty members, at the Associate or Full Professor level, starting in Spring or Fall 2024. The positions involve establishing theoretical and applied research in emerging areas in industrial and systems engineering as well as teaching at all levels, from undergraduate courses to advanced graduate courses. We are interested in faculty candidates with expertise in 1) Energy Storage and 2) Energy Systems and Policy. However, qualified applicants in other emerging areas of industrial and systems engineering, such as autonomous systems, advanced/smart manufacturing, biomanufacturing, cyber-physical systems, and machine learning and artificial intelligence, healthcare systems engineering, may be considered.

The Associate/Full Professor – Energy Storage position will explore recent developments in energy storage and apply knowledge of systems modeling, operations optimization, integration with renewables, techno-economic analysis, sustainable materials, and recycling technologies to encourage economic growth and advance the adoption of clean and efficient energy solutions to build a more resilient and sustainable future.

The Associate/Full Professor – Energy Systems and Policy position will explore recent developments in evolving electricity markets. The outcomes of their research will help inform the design and implementation of robust energy systems, ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy supply, even amidst the escalating challenges posed by climate change. Furthermore, their work will drive advancements in technological innovation, behavior change strategies, and policy frameworks, facilitating the transition towards sustainable, electrified, and energy-efficient residential systems with shared aims of mitigating carbon emissions while enhancing energy affordability, occupant comfort, and overall residential system resilience.

The Watson College is dedicated to the goal of building a diverse and inclusive teaching, research, and working environment.
