a job during the 2025-2026 school year. The track will be organized with high visibility at the 2025 INFORMS Annual Meeting, with four talks per session scheduled primarily on Sunday through Tuesday morning of the conference, to make it easy for potential
employers to attend talks by job candidates.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
