The Institute for Systems Research (ISR) and A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park invite applications for a tenure-‐track faculty position in Model{}‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). We seek applicants with research expertise in model{}‐based systems engineering, formal approaches to engineering design and validation, requirements engineering, and multi{}‐ bjective optimization and trade{}‐off analysis, with appropriate connections to an engineering and/or biological domain. The position provides a tenure track position in a Clark School department (Aerospace, Electrical and Computer, Mechanical, Civil and Environmental, Chemical and Biomolecular, or BioEngineering) with a joint appointment to the Institute for Systems Research. The position holder will teach one course per academic year within his or her academic department and within ISR, teach at least one systems engineering course per academic year, advise systems engineering students for their theses, develop and teach new systems engineering courses, propose and conduct systems engineering methodology and tools research, and collaborate with other ISR faculty researchers to incorporate MBSE methods into ISR multi{}‐disciplinary research. While preference will be given to applicants at the assistant professor level, qualified candidates at all levels are encouraged to apply, with hiring rank and tenure status commensurate with academic accomplishments. The Clark School's (http://www.eng.umd.edu/sitehome2.php) graduate programs collectively rank 18th in the nation according to the U.S. News & World Report "America's Best Graduate Schools 2013." The Clark School is ranked 9th-in the nation among public universities. In 2011 the Institute of Higher Education and Center for World‐Class Universities ranked the Clark School 11th in the world among all engineering programs. The Institute for Systems Research (http://www.isr.umd.edu-), an original and only surviving NSF ERC, celebrates 27 years of multi‐disciplinary research in cooperation with universities, government, and industry. With annual research expenditures exceeding $19M, it does interdisciplinary research and provides education in systems engineering and sciences; and devises basic solution methodologies and tools for systems problems in a variety of application domains. ISR has 41 joint appointment faculty; 27 affiliate faculty; and 10 research scientists from 4 colleges and 14 units across the University of Maryland. For best consideration, please submit your applications by December 1, 2012 to:
