    ​​The Heinz College at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications for tenure-track positions at the assistant professor level in operations research/management science and analytics for the 2019-20 academic year. The College is home to the University's School of Information Systems and Management and its School of Public Policy and Management – a unique co-location of IT, Public Policy and Management.

    Successful candidates will have outstanding research abilities and be committed to achieving excellence in teaching operations research and management in a multi-disciplinary school which brings together policy, technology and management in a holistic manner. The College is home to several research centers with deep strengths in analytics (for examples, see https://www.cmu.edu/metro21/). Heinz also has close ties via research centers, student advising, and faculty collaborations with the Tepper School of Business, Department of Statistics, Department of Machine Learning, and the College of Engineering.

    The ideal scholar will have strong modeling and methodological interests and join a large group of faculty at the College with both applied and methodological interests in the data sciences. Applications are encouraged regardless of problem domain, though synergies with existing research centers and strengths at Heinz and the University will be considered. These include health, transportation, urban systems, information security, energy, and the environment.

    The candidate must have obtained, or expect to obtain shortly, a PhD or equivalent degree in Operations Management, Operations Research, Management Science, Industrial Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related field.

    If you are presenting at the INFORMS Annual Meeting, then submitting at least a partial packet as early in October as possible and no later than October 24, 2018, with your session information, would be helpful. We will begin formally reviewing applications on November 12, 2018 and strongly encourage you to complete your application by then. We will continue to accept applications until December 31, 2018.

    Applicants should submit all materials electronically at https://apply.interfolio.com/53950, including a cover letter, vita, research and teaching statements, and up to two recent research papers, and also arrange for submission of three letters of reference.
