    encouraged.

    Ideal candidates should demonstrate a proven ability to produce high-impact research and excel
    in undergraduate and graduate (M.S., MBA, and Ph.D.) teaching. Candidates should have
    methodological expertise in optimization or applied probability (i.e., queuing theory and/or

    and analytics applied to inventory control, supply chain management, transportation, healthcare,
    and/or sustainability are desirable. However, candidates with other research interests will also be
    considered.

    Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience and achievements. Prior to hiring, the
    candidate must successfully pass a pre-employment background investigation. Applicants must
    apply online at https://facultyjobs.ua.edu/postings/41185 and include a one-page cover letter,
    curriculum vitae, research statement, one or two representative examples of research papers, and
    a list of at least three references with contact information. Required documents not attached at
    the time of application will disqualify the application.

    The review of applications will begin immediately. Applications will be accepted until October
    29, 2017. Individual meetings will be held at the 2017 INFORMS Annual Conference, with
    preference given to individuals whose applications are received by September 29, 2017. All
    inquiries should be directed to the search committee chair, Dr. Emmett Lodree, at
