ulty researchers to incorporate MBSE methods
into ISR multi-disciplinary research.

FACULTY POSITION IN MODEL-BASED
SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

The Institute for Systems Research (ISR) and the
A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, invite applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position
in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). We
seek applicants with a doctoral degree who have
research expertise in MBSE, formal approaches to
engineering design and validation, requirements
engineering, and multi-objective optimization and
trade-off analysis, with appropriate connections to
an engineering and/or biological domain.
This position is tenure track in a Clark School department (Aerospace, Electrical and Computer, Fire
Protection, Mechanical, Civil and Environmental,
Chemical and Biomolecular, Materials Science and
Engineering, or Bioengineering) with a joint appointment to the ISR. The tenure home for this appointment will be in the department, and the ISR and its
Director will also review the candidate's dossier.
The position holder will contribute to teaching
systems engineering, advise systems engineering students for their theses, and develop new
systems engineering courses. With regard to
research responsibilities, the position holder will
propose and conduct MBSE methodology and
tools research that improves the ability to conceive, design and analyze complex multi-domain
systems and will collaborate with other ISR fac-

The Clark School's (www.eng.umd.edu) graduate
programs collectively rank 19th nationally (11th
among public universities) in U.S. News & World
Report's "America's Best Graduate Schools 2014."
In 2013 the Academic Ranking of World Universities ranked the Clark School programs 16th in the
world. ISR (www.isr.umd.edu), an original NSF
ERC, celebrates 27 years of multi-disciplinary
research in cooperation with universities, government, and industry. With annual expenditures
exceeding $20M, it conducts interdisciplinary
research and provides education in systems engineering and sciences; and devises basic solution
methodologies and tools for systems problems
in disparate application domains. ISR has 38 joint
appointment faculty; 27 affiliate faculty; and eight
research scientists from four colleges and 14 units
across the University of Maryland.
Prospective candidates should demonstrate the
required expertise and apply with:
* A cover letter
* Curriculum vitae
