Miller Professor of Management Tenure-Track Assistant Professor Position in Operations Management, a full-time, tenure-track position in operations management, beginning August 2021. We seek a candidate with a Ph.D. in operations or supply chain management, business analytics, operations research, management science, or a closely related field by the start of the appointment.
The approximately 700 undergraduate students in the AACSB-accredited Freeman College of Management may choose among seven highly interdisciplinary majors that combine courses in the various fields of management with offerings in the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences, and engineering. Our innovative curriculum and world-class teacher-scholars earned the Freeman College a top 30 ranking in the 2020 Poets & Quants' annual survey of undergraduate business programs. We believe that an undergraduate education that combines technical skills and deep intellectual exploration is the best preparation for thoughtful and capable leaders. New faculty members must be capable of contributing to this mission through teaching, advising, scholarship, and service.
The candidate should be willing and able to teach undergraduate courses in operations management, supply chain management, and related courses of business analytics in addition to courses within the candidate's area of scholarly interest and background. This position will support our current and growing instructional needs in both our new business analytics major and university-wide electives.

We seek candidates who ensure respect for a wide variety of positions, raise perspectives that may not otherwise be vocalized in the classroom, and are eager to advise and mentor students from multicultural and underrepresented student groups. We welcome candidates who demonstrate excellence in reflective multicultural and inclusive teaching practices and who display a strong commitment to collaboration and interdisciplinarity.
