Dear All,


I hope you are having a good day.

The Operations and Logistics Division of the Sauder School of Business 
at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver Campus) invites 
applications for up to three tenure-track faculty positions in 
operations research including mathematical optimization, operations 
management and transportation. Although preference will be given to 
applications at the Assistant Professor rank, we will also consider 
applications at the Associate and Full Professor ranks. Applicants must 
have a record of research commensurate with the rank and a demonstrated 
successful experience in teaching. Senior-level candidates should have 
accomplished excellence in research in operations research including 
mathematical optimization, operations management or transportation. 
Entry-level candidates should demonstrate an interest in and potential 
to conduct high-quality research in these fields and be very close to 
completing or have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant area such as 
operations research, operations management, engineering, applied 
mathematics, statistics, computer science, or other related areas. The 
successful candidate will be appointed at the rank appropriate to their 
qualification and experience.

Duties include developing and maintaining an active research program 
aimed at making a significant contribution to the profession, teaching 
in the undergraduate, master’s and Ph.D. programs, supervising Ph.D. 
students, as well as contributing to other teaching and administrative 
initiatives of the Operations and Logistics Division and the UBC Sauder 
School of Business. Candidates at the senior level will be expected to 
provide leadership to enhance the reputation of the Operations and 
Logistics Division and the School. Teaching and service requirements are 
similar to other research-intensive universities.

Applications must be emailed to ORRecruit at sauder.ubc.ca. Please submit 
your complete application before 5 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on 
September 30, 2024. However, applications may be considered after this 
date until filled.

and/or other relevant information.

2. Curriculum vitae

3. Research papers (recently published research papers or current 
working papers)

4. Teaching dossier or record of teaching effectiveness, if applicable

5. Three letters of reference (Four for the associate and full professor

Your participation is voluntary and anonymous. The information will not 
be used to determine employment eligibility. The answers will be 
collated to provide data that can assist us in understanding the 
diversity of our applicant pool and identifying potential barriers to 
the employment of designated equity group members. This survey takes 
only a minute to complete. You may self-identify in one or more of the 
designated equity groups. You may decline to identify in any or all of 
the questions by choosing "prefer not to disclose." Thank you in advance 
for your participation.

Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and 
diverse community fosters the inclusion of voices that have been 
underrepresented or discouraged. We encourage applications from members 
of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under 
the B.C. Human Rights Code, including sex, sexual orientation, gender 
identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, 
religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First 
Nation, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous person. All qualified candidates are 
encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents of 
Canada will be given priority.

Thank you,

Joseph Paat
