About this position
This research opportunity places a fellow with the Department of Systems Engineering (DSE) at the United States Military Academy, working within the Operations Research Center (ORCEN) and alongside faculty and cadet-led projects. The program is framed around applied research that connects theory to practice and supports Army and Department of Defense analytical needs.
The research environment is strongly interdisciplinary and centered on practical problem solving. Fellows contribute to projects in operations research, systems engineering, data analytics, decision science, and related areas that help develop systems solutions for defense and operational challenges. The role emphasizes model development, stakeholder engagement, and decision support in complex and uncertain settings.
DSE’s research program includes two centers, ORCEN and the Systems Design and Analysis Center, and collaborates with Army, DoD, government, and industry partners. The department highlights work in analytical modeling, simulation, optimization, geospatial and network analysis, readiness and maintenance analysis, cost modeling, requirements engineering, and visualization for operational readiness. The position is supervised by COL David Beskow, Director of ORCEN.
The wider research setting at West Point is described as nationally recognized and mission-driven, with faculty and students working to advance Army and DoD analytic capability while preparing cadets and fellows to operate in demanding environments. The post is presented through the Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program.
