The Graduate Program in Systems Engineering at
Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon (UANL) is seeking
candidates for one or more tenure-track faculty
positions.  The program (http://yalma.fime.uanl.mx/~pisis)
offers MSc and PhD degrees in systems engineering with area
of concentration in operations research.

The applicants must have a PhD in operations research,
management science, industrial/systems engineering,
applied probability, computer science, or a related
area.  The search is open to all areas of
specialization.  Preference will be given to candidates
with a strong background in one or more of the following
research areas: heuristic search (tabu search, scatter
search, grasp, etc.), decision-making stochastic systems
(queueing, simulation, applied probability), supply
chain management, revenue management, large-scale
system optimization, or stochastic optimization; or the
following application areas: natural resources
(electricity, natural gas, oil, water systems), logistics
and transportation, service industry, or manufacturing
systems.

Although fluency in Spanish is preferred, English is an
accepted alternate choice.  Successful applicants may
start the appointment on July 2006 or on a later date to
be agreed upon.

Duties include mainly teaching two courses per year
at the graduate level, thesis supervision of graduate
students, and high-quality research.  The program offers
a wide opportunity for research and/or industrial R+D or
consulting activities.  The salary and benefits package
is very attractive for Mexican standards.

UANL (http://www.uanl.mx) is located in San Nicolas de
los Garza, in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, the
third largest city in Mexico, with a population of over
3 million, a high concentration of artistic, cultural,
and sporting events, a growing industry in many of its
facets, and a two-hour drive from the border with Texas.

Applicants should submit: (1) a cover letter describing
briefly professional achievements and previous research
work, and your expected contribution to the program;
(2) full CV highlighting professional experience, research
interests, publication record, computer skills, and
degree of fluency in Spanish; and (3) three letters of
recommendation (Spanish or English); addressed to
Dr. Mauricio Cabrera at the address below.  It is strongly
encouraged one of these letters comes from the PhD thesis
supervisor.  Electronic submission of items (1) and (2)
is encouraged.

Review of applications will begin immediately and will
continue until the positions are filled.  For further
inquiries, please contact Professor Cabrera.
