[AISWorld] Tenured Position in SCM

[Chin, G Gee]

Tenured Associate or Full Professor in Supply Chain Management  

The Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business, at the University of Pittsburgh, invites applications for an anticipated tenured position at the Associate or Full Professor level, beginning Fall 2012 (subject to budgetary approval).  Candidates must have a PhD and strong evidence of established high quality research and teaching in supply chain management. In particular, we seek individuals who have expertise in issues related to managing the extended enterprise, in order to coordinate supply and demand chains for sustainable value. In addition, candidates must provide leadership that bridges theory with practice to tackle emerging problems faced by firms with a global footprint. Expertise in data analytics, to identify strategies and tactics at the operational level, and an aptitude to work at the interface of operations with other functional areas, such as OR, marketing, accounting, and information systems, is highly desired. Some examples of topical areas that would be of interest for joint research with our current faculty are: Emerging Health Care Value Chains, Energy demand and supply management, information-driven financial and marketing services, lean and green supply chain management,  and performance and cost effectiveness of supply chains. We expect candidates to build strong ties with industry, and identify and spearhead research thrusts to enhance Katz's strong interdisciplinary focus.

Applications must be submitted electronically to doitfacultysearch at katz.pitt.edu.  Materials submitted must include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae detailing educational background, research and work experience, and complete contact information for three references. To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by January 15, 2012.
