The Analytics and Operations Management Department at Bucknell University's
Freeman College of Management invites applications for a full-time
tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Business Analytics &
Operations Management to contribute to the College's mission of providing a
rigorous, experiential education, in the context of a unique national
university with a vibrant liberal arts core and strong complementary
professional programs. The appointment is slated to begin in August 2025.

We seek a motivated candidate with a Ph.D. in operations research, business
analytics, management science, operations management, information systems,
data science, industrial engineering, or a closely related quantitative
field, from an accredited higher education institution.  ABDs or candidates
in the final stages of their doctoral dissertation will be considered with
the understanding that they must complete their degree within one year of
the start of their appointment in order to continue employment after the
first year. Candidates with post Ph.D. full-time teaching experience may be
granted credit towards tenure. Salary is competitive and commensurate with

program and generous family tuition benefits.

The Freeman College and Bucknell University embrace the teacher-scholar
model. Candidates should be highly capable and willing to teach a variety
of undergraduate analytics and analytics-related courses in addition to
courses within the candidate’s area of scholarly interest and background.
The successful candidate is expected to successfully deliver courses that
span from introduction to spreadsheet modeling, data analysis, and Python
programming, to more advanced analytics courses such as data mining,
optimization, or simulation. Faculty will also have the opportunity to
develop and offer new courses of interest to support the current and
growing instructional needs in our business analytics major & minor, as
well as in university-wide electives. The standard teaching load at
Bucknell University is five courses per academic year. For additional

The approximately 700 undergraduate students in the AACSB-accredited
Freeman College of Management may choose among eight highly
interdisciplinary majors that combine courses in the various fields of
management, with offerings also in the arts, humanities, natural and social
sciences, and engineering. Our innovative curriculum and world-class
teacher-scholars earned Freeman College a top-20 ranking in the Poets &
Quants' annual survey of undergraduate business programs in each of the
past 3 years. We believe that an undergraduate education combining
technical skills and deep intellectual exploration is the best preparation
for thoughtful and capable leaders. New faculty members must be capable of
contributing to this mission through progressive teaching, advising,
scholarship, and service.

Our new colleague will show great promise of a vigorous scholarly
trajectory, as well as a strong commitment to collaboration and
interdisciplinarity. The Freeman College supports both traditional
scholarship and creative scholarship that transcends disciplinary
boundaries. The business analytics faculty have varied research interests,
spanning discrete optimization, the interface between operations research
and machine learning, pricing and revenue management, scheduling, supply
chain management, and the application of operations research methods in
healthcare. The successful candidate will add their scholarly expertise to
the intellectual community of the department, is invested in and committed
to our growth and success, and is passionate to further develop student
opportunities and pathways for their success.

Bucknell University, an Equal Opportunity Employer, believes that students
learn best in a diverse, inclusive community and is therefore committed to
academic excellence through diversity in its faculty, staff, and students.
As such, the successful candidate should understand and embrace the
teacher-scholar model, and have a demonstrated ability to work successfully
with a diverse student body and a track record of inclusive, innovative
pedagogy. We seek candidates who are committed to Bucknell’s efforts to
create and maintain a climate that fosters the growth and development of a
diverse student body, to raising perspectives that may not otherwise be
vocalized in the classroom, and who are eager to advise and mentor students
from multicultural and underrepresented student groups. We welcome
candidates who demonstrate excellence in reflective multicultural and
inclusive teaching practices and who display a strong commitment to
collaboration and interdisciplinarity.
