Open Faculty Positions at the Engineering Systems and Design Pillar

The Engineering Systems and Design (ESD) pillar within the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) is pursuing multiple, exceptional tenure-track/tenured faculty hires at all levels.

About SUTD and ESD

The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) has topped the list of emerging engineering schools (MIT report, 2018) and possesses a unique structure and mission within the vibrant nation of Singapore. SUTD features the integration of design with engineering, an intimate student to faculty ratio, an innovative active learning pedagogy, an interdisciplinary pillar organization, a stellar faculty, and a beautiful new campus. The Engineering Systems and Design (ESD) pillar within SUTD offers exceptional undergraduate and doctoral degrees focusing on Business Analytics and Operations Research, Financial Services, Supply Chain and Logistics, and Aviation Systems. ESD research spans optimization, systems and control, artificial intelligence and data science, and decision-making for complex engineering systems, including robotics and autonomous systems. ESD undergraduates are prepared for a wide range of engineering and management careers in the private and public sectors, including healthcare, banking, manufacturing, supply chains, energy, transportation, entertainment, and hospitality. They are also well prepared for entrepreneurship and launching start-up ventures.
