Applicants at all ranks will be considered. Senior applicants must have a particularly strong record of research and teaching accomplishments, scientific leadership and creativity.

    Applicants should hold or expect to complete by fall 2019 a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Operations Management, or a related discipline and have demonstrated the potential to conduct a vigorous and significant research program as evidenced by their publication record and supporting letters from recognized leaders in the field. The candidate's expertise and documented research activities must demonstrate a strong potential to enhance both the department's research and teaching missions. Successful candidates are expected to build strong, externally funded, highly visible research programs and to become recognized leaders in their field.
