This CAS appointment will assume one main responsibility. As a Faculty Lecturer, the individual will take the lead in developing and delivering various experiential courses integral in the MMA (Master of Management in Analytics) and MMR (Master of Management in Retailing), which will also require the determination and procurement of the state of the art software infrastructure to run the course. The successful candidate may also be asked to contribute to the delivery of the business analytics concentrations the Faculty has launched at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Desautels Faculty of Management has more than 76 full-time professors and offers B.Com., MBA, and Ph.D. degrees. The Faculty offers business analytics concentrations both at the undergraduate and MBA levels. The OM Area is also engaged in the Master in Global Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management (GMSCM) program and the launch of the Master of Management Analytics (MMA) Program. The former is a joint program with Zhejiang University in China and significant industry involvement, whereas the latter is a multidisciplinary pre-experience Master's degree featuring experiential learning in the field of business analytics. The recent focus on launching the Bensadoun School of Retail Management within Desautels Faculty of Management is a significant initiative. The new retail school will offer academic programs from the undergraduate to the PhD levels with input from global retailers, conduct research on the fast-changing sector, and feature a retail innovation lab to test out new ideas, technologies and products within an academic setting. The members of the area are also affiliated with CIRRELT or GERAD, which are among the most established research centers in North America.
