About the Roles
The Department of Management and Marketing at the University of Melbourne is looking for an Assistant Professor of Operations Management (Levels B-C in the Australian system) to join its Operations & Supply Chain Management (OSCM) group. The Department hosts one of the largest and strongest OSCM groups in Australia, with a mix of qualitative, empirical, and analytical researchers. Colleagues from the group regularly publish research in top-tier journals in the field, including Journal of Operations Management, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Operations Research, Production and Operations Management and Journal of Supply Chain Management. They also contribute strongly to a broader community through consulting projects with industry partners, engagement with media outlets, and the development of executive programs.
The appointee is expected to conduct high-quality research in operations/supply chain management and business analytics. In addition, the appointee will contribute to teaching by developing and teaching subjects in project management, operations management, business analytics, and/or decision sciences at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels and executive education programs. Finally, the appointee is expected to make a significant contribution to the collegial and intellectual life of the Department and his/her academic discipline.
To be successful, the applicant will need to demonstrate a strong track record, commensurate with the level of appointment, in elite international journals. Teaching experiences in the areas mentioned above will be desirable. We particularly welcome applications from researchers with methodological expertise in analytical and/or empirical quantitative methodologies.
All positions are full-time, continuing (tenure-track) roles. The Position Description provides further information on the roles.
Appointees will be strong research-focused scholars who are interested in making big impact, and contributing to and working within a supportive academic community.
