The Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto invites applications for one full-time tenure stream faculty position in the area of Operations Research.

It is preferred that candidates have an undergraduate degree in engineering and be eligible for registration as a Professional Engineer.

Applicants must provide evidence of excellence in research, which can be demonstrated by a record of published papers in top-ranked and field relevant journals, or a research pipeline that is at high international levels, the submitted research statement, and strong letters of reference from referees of high standing.

Candidates are therefore asked to submit a statement (up to 2 pages) describing any equity, diversity and inclusion considerations that have impacted or will impact their approaches to research, teaching, service, recruiting, training and mentoring.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
