Job Details
The Department of Operations invites applicants for a non-tenure-track position of Assistant Professor of Operations (a higher rank will be considered commensurate with qualifications) to begin August 2019. We seek candidates with potential for excellence in teaching in graduate and undergraduate programs. We particularly prefer an individual who has prior teaching and/or professional experience in Operations Management, Operations Research, or Statistics. We desire candidates who can help us to design and deliver courses in our undergraduate program in management, the MBA program, and in our master's degree programs (MSM) in Supply Chain Management and Business Analytics. The potential to take a leadership position in the management of these programs and to participate in executive education is also desirable. The candidate should have a graduate degree in Operations/Supply Chain Management, Operations Research, Statistics, or a related area. A doctoral degree would be a plus. Having business and/or teaching experience, or other appropriate background to which business students would relate is desirable.
The Department will also consider applications for a one-year Visiting Faculty position to begin August 2019. Although this is a full-time teaching position, we seek a faculty member with a research focus in Operations and Supply Chain Management (broadly construed). All candidates should have a PhD or expect to complete a PhD in the near future in Operations Management, Supply Chain Management or a related field. The candidate should be able to teach and communicate effectively to students in one or more of our undergraduate, MBA, MSM in Supply Chain Management and MSM in Business Analytics programs.
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled and the applicants should e-mail a c.v., copies of written research papers (if available), evidence of teaching effectiveness (course evaluations, for example), and should also arrange for at least three letters of reference to be sent electronically to Ms. Pamela White at oprerecruitment@case.edu.
The Department has a long and distinguished history and granted the first PhD in operations research. The Weatherhead School's MBA and undergraduate programs (in which the successful candidate would teach) are well ranked. The University is ten minutes from downtown Cleveland with world-class cultural venues within walking distance and excellent residential areas close by.

Organization
Working at Case Western Reserve University
Case Western Reserve University is among the nation's leading research institutions. Founded in 1826 and shaped by the unique merger of the Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University, Case Western Reserve is distinguished by its strengths in education, research, service and experiential learning. Located in Cleveland's University Circle, we offer nationally recognized programs in the arts and sciences, dental medicine, engineering, law, management, medicine, nursing and social sciences.
Student enrollment exceeds 9,800 students, forty percent of whom are undergraduates. Facultyand students hail from more than 90 countries, with academic interests that reach every region of the world. Case Western Reserve, with the support of individuals, corporations and foundations, aids nearly 100 designated research centers.
As a service-oriented institution dedicated to civic leadership, Case Western Reserve seeks individually and collectively to prepare our students to improve the human condition and to direct the benefits of discovery toward a better society. This effort is not limited to the university's classrooms, laboratories, libraries, residence halls and athletic fields, but includes partnerships with many other institutions. We build these partnerships believing that our ability to improve the human condition should begin in our own community.
Case Western Reserve University remains Ohio's top-ranked school among the nation's premier national universities, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report and is the only Ohio institution ranked in the top 50 nationally. We promote a culture of inquiry marked by rigor, creativity, curiosity, innovation, respect, sensitivity and open communication of ideas.
The university supports interdisciplinary partnerships in education and research with numerous faculty holding joint appointments in more than one Case Western Reserve school or department, as well as at neighboring institutions. These relationships launched many of the unique pairings of science, business and liberal arts into the centers and programs that enhance the undergraduate and graduate experience at the university. Our dual degree programs enrich the educational experience for those students who choose to balance the technical requirements of engineering or the sciences with a strong interest in the humanities.
With more than $375 million in research funding annually, the university attracts outstanding undergraduate and graduate students along with renowned faculty whose research has made significant contributions to the way we live and work. Case Western Reserve counts 15 Nobel laureates among our alumni and current and former faculty, including the first American scientist to ever receive the prize.
Our students' experiences in cultural institutions, clinics, social service agencies and industry are not viewed as “extra-curricular,” but create the learning experience that defines a Case Western Reserve education. The university's service programs in the Cleveland Municipal School District have impacted more than 145,000 students with more than 43 signature programs. The university has launched more than 580 community partnerships on the local, national and international levels. Annually the university sponsors Case for Community Day, an event where hundreds of Case Western Reserve employees and students lend their time and talent to targeted community development projects in the Greater Cleveland area.
Our alumni number more than 110,000 and constitute a “who's who” of every profession. Alumni represent one of the university's strongest resources, playing a vital role in campus life through their work as advisors, mentors, friends and advocates.
