    The Operations and Logistics Division of the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver Campus) invites applications for one tenure-track faculty position. Although preference will be given to applications at the Assistant Professor rank, we will also consider applications at the Associate and Full Professor ranks. Applicants must have a record of research commensurate with the rank and a demonstrated successful experience in teaching. Senior-level candidates should have accomplished excellence in research in Operations Research/Operations Management. Entry-level candidates should demonstrate an interest in and potential to conduct high-quality research in Operations Research/Operations Management and be very close to completing or have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant area such as operations research/management, engineering, applied mathematics, statistics or other related areas. The successful candidate will be appointed at the rank appropriate to their qualification and experience.

    Duties include developing and maintaining an active research program aimed at making a significant contribution to the profession, teaching in the undergraduate, master's and Ph.D. programs, supervising Ph.D. students, as well as contributing to other teaching and administrative initiatives of the Operations and Logistics Division and the UBC Sauder School of Business. Candidates at the senior level will be expected to provide leadership that will enhance the reputation of the Operations and Logistics Division and the School. Teaching and service requirements are similar to other research-intensive universities.

    A completed application will include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research papers (i.e., one or two recent published research papers or current working papers), a teaching dossier or record of teaching effectiveness, if applicable, and 3 letters of reference (4 for the associate and full professor rank).  
    In addition, the applicant may include a statement of contributions to equity, diversity and inclusion. 

    Applications must be emailed to ORRecruit@sauder.ubc.ca

    The deadline for applications is October 15, 2021; however, applications may be considered after this date until the position is filled.

    Subject to budgetary approval, the position starts July 1, 2022. Information regarding hiring is available on our website at: http://www.sauder.ubc.ca/Faculty/People/Faculty_Openings

     

    Applicants to faculty positions at the Sauder School of Business are asked to complete the following equity survey. The link to the survey is https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aVtaMWjwsMEcO4l.

    Your participation is voluntary and anonymous. The information will not be used to determine eligibility for employment. The answers will be collated to provide data that can assist us in understanding the diversity of our applicant pool and identifying potential barriers to the employment of designated equity group members. This survey takes only a minute to complete. You may self-identify in one or more of the designated equity groups. You may decline to identify in any or all of the questions by choosing "prefer not to disclose." Thank you in advance for your participation.

    UBC hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity. We encourage all qualified persons to apply. We especially welcome applications from members of visible minority groups, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities, and others with the skills and knowledge to engage productively with diverse communities.

    However, Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority. Kindly indicate your legal status to work in Canada.
