Job Description:

The School of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering (SSIE) within the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science at Binghamton University is seeking two (2) tenured/tenure-track faculty members at the rank of Assistant Professor. The positions will begin in Spring or Fall 2025 (2025-2026 academic year).

Position Focus Areas:

Associate/Full Professor - Energy Systems, Storage and Policy (2 positions)

Position Overview:

The successful candidates will have expertise in one or more areas related to energy systems, storage and policy. For example, the SSIE School is interested in candidates that 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.

Additionally, the successful candidates can have expertise related to recent developments in the 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 candidates are expected to have high potential to initiate and sustain an externally funded multi-disciplinary research program and to take a major role in advancing the research and academic mission of the School of SSIE. The positions require expertise in Energy Systems, Storage 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, machine learning and artificial intelligence, and healthcare systems engineering, may be considered.

All positions involve establishing externally funded theoretical and applied research in the respective disciplines and teaching at all levels (undergraduate courses through advanced graduate courses).

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct high-quality research in Energy Systems, Storage and Policy
• Teach and develop undergraduate and graduate courses
• Mentor and advise undergraduate, MS, and PhD students
