More details about the Singh Program in Market and Social Systems Engineering

The University of Pennsylvania seeks outstanding individuals for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering to start July 1, 2010. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research, or equivalent. This search focuses on candidates working at the mathematical and computational foundations of Market and Social Systems Engineering - the formalization, analysis, optimization, and realization of interconnected systems that increasingly integrate engineering, computational, social and economic systems and methods. We are particularly interested in candidates who have a vision and interest in defining the research frontier and education of next-generation leaders and will contribute to the formation of a new interdisciplinary undergraduate program in this interdisciplinary field. The University of Pennsylvania is pioneering a new undergraduate program on Market and Social Systems Engineering (MKSE) , as an interdisciplinary effort focused on topics at the burgeoning intersection of systems engineering, operations research, game theory and mechanism design, algorithmic aspects of economics and sociology, and many related areas. The program is designed to embrace the emerging scientific and engineering principles underlying phenomena as diverse as network science, social networking, web search and its monetization, electronic commerce, modern financial networks, and many others.

The University seeks individuals with exceptional promise for, or proven record of, research achievement who will excel in teaching undergraduate and graduate courses and take a position of international leadership in defining their field of study. Leadership in cross-disciplinary collaborations is of particular interest.
