About The Position

The Department of Operations and Business Analytics at the Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University, invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor rank in Operations Management. We seek candidates who are committed to developing a leading research program in Operations Management and who have the potential to become internationally recognized scholars in the field. We welcome applicants who pursue phenomenon-driven, problem-centered research that rigorously addresses important real-world operations management challenges. Candidates who employ multiple methodological approaches to data collection and analysis and investigate important operations management questions (e.g., operational excellence, supply chain management, service operations, sustainability, project management, etc.) are encouraged to apply. The primacy of empirical methods in a candidate’s methodological portfolio will afford preference in the selection process. The successful candidate will contribute to the department’s research excellence and teaching mission through high-quality scholarship, impactful teaching, and active engagement with students and faculty colleagues. Immigration/visa sponsorship may be available in very limited situations (e.g., F1/OPT to H-1b, H-1b change of employer), but all decisions concerning immigration/visa sponsorship will depend on an evaluation of complexity and risk.

Demonstrated excellence in communication skills and/or success in classroom teaching.
Willingness to assist in developing and improving our core Operations Management courses and/or an elective related to research.
