The Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track, assistant professor or associate professor (without tenure) faculty position in Supply Chain, Operations, and Technology (SCOT) with an effective start date of July 1, 2027. We are seeking applicants with strong records (or exceptional promise) in both teaching and research. We prefer candidates whose research involves artificial intelligence, broadly construed, but with strong interest and demonstrated research on advancing the knowledge in operations and supply chain management. We are open to any research methodologies leading to high impact publications at top journals of the SCOT field.
This position is part of Washington University’s university-wide AI Faculty Cluster Hire initiative (https://ai.washu.edu/about/ai-faculty-cluster-hires/), and the selected candidates will join a broader cross-school community of AI scholars. The search aligns with the initiative’s thematic areas: Agentic AI: Governance, Society, and Institutions; Human Values, Creative Practice, and AI; AI-Driven Imaging Science; and AI for Science and Engineering.
The selected candidates will be expected to conduct and publish high-quality research, teach required and elective courses of the SCOT group in the bachelor’s, master’s, and/or Ph.D. programs, advise/mentor students, and provide service to the school.
Qualifications
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Operations Management, Operations Research, or a directly related field.
