Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Systems Engineering/ Engineering Management
Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth invites applications for an Assistant Professor in Systems Engineering/Engineering Management. Applicants are expected to have a doctorate in engineering or a closely related field, with expertise in systems engineering, engineering management, or operations research. Preference will be given to candidates who will bring an applied research focus at the interface between engineering and medicine, in energy, or in complex integrated systems. Within these research themes, possible research areas might include: optimization and system modeling, probability and stochastic systems, simulation, production operations and manufacturing, decision and risk analysis, information science and technology. The candidate will be expected to develop an externally-funded research program, and to provide excellent teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. This person is expected to contribute to the systems design and engineering management curriculum at the graduate level and the engineering project curriculum at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Outstanding candidates at the more senior levels may also be considered.
Dartmouth College is an Ivy League institution that values both teaching and research and emphasizes interactions among Thayer School of Engineering, Tuck School of Business, The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, and the Arts and Sciences faculty of the College. Thayer School teaches interdisciplinary engineering, offering an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Engineering degree program, as well as a full M.S. and Ph.D. program, along with the Master of Engineering Management degree.
Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. A complete CV, research and teaching statements, and list of three references should be sent to Thayer.MEM.Search@dartmouth.edu or to the attention of:

Staff Positions
Systems Administrator
Thayer School’s mission is "To prepare the most capable and faithful for the most responsible positions and the most difficult service." To accomplish this mission, we have a unique multidisciplinary approach to engineering education. Our IT philosophy reflects this unique approach. Rather than just being back-room "crank turners," our small, agile Computing Services team interacts extensively with faculty, students, staff, and researchers to help them get the most out of our computing resources. We go out of our way to invite everyone at Thayer School to contact us; for example holding “Atrium hours” twice a week, offering cookies to Thayer community members and inviting them to ask questions, brainstorm solutions, explain their needs and successes, etc. System Administrators and User Support Analysts work together and with everyone at Thayer School to solve problems and help our academic community be as productive as possible.
We seek a self-motivated System Administrator who can be an integral member of our highly-collaborative, mutually-supportive, and flexible team where everyone gets as much responsibility and opportunity to learn as they can handle. This person will have a wide variety of assignments and will need to be comfortable using multiple operating systems and tools, managing both hardware and software. Experience with Windows and Ubuntu (or another Linux distribution) is essential – any other OS experience is a plus. Scripting and programming is also a huge part of what we do, so experience with Perl, PHP, Python, C, and/or Fortran is required, although being an expert at all of them is not essential. What is essential is the desire and demonstrated ability to quickly learn technologies and tools, and to apply them building robust and automated systems. This person will enjoy broad exposure to all aspects of IT at Thayer School and will lead and support the entire lifecycle of our systems, including:
- need identification, investigation, and brainstorming
- systems engineering, architecture, and design
- selection, acquisition, configuration, integration, development, and automation
- deployment, upgrading, maintenance, and replacement
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to be a crucial member of a small but very strong team of smart and fun people supporting a smart and fun community.
Laboratory Technician III
The Laboratory Technician will set up and conduct a variety of laboratory tests and experiments by applying established methods, procedures, and techniques in support of research studies directed in the laboratory of PI Margaret Ackerman.
This position is funded by a grant.
Skills & Knowledge:
- Competence in several laboratory methods, procedures and techniques as well as the equipment and instruments, e.g., recombinant DNA technology, yeast or bacterial cell culture and conservation, SDS-PAGE and Western Blotting, optional flow cytometry, biosensor analyses and mass spectrometry.
- Ability to work independently with good judgment and good organizational and time management skills.
- Willingness to work with/be exposed to hazardous materials such as infectious materials, and/or hazardous chemicals.
- Knowledge of computers and software applications.
Minimum Experience:
- One year of relevant laboratory or science experience.
Minimum Education:
- Bachelor's degree with a major in biology, chemistry, molecular biology, biochemistry or the equivalent.
