Details

The Department of Operations and Information Systems (OIS) in the
David Eccles School of Business at the University of Utah invites
applications for a tenured position at the rank of
Associate or Full Professor, beginning July 1, 2027.
Candidates should have an outstanding record of research
accomplishment and offer evidence of continued productivity with
potential for scholarly impact. We welcome candidates from all
OIS-related research areas. We particularly encourage applications
from scholars whose research focuses on AI, although exceptionally
accomplished scholars in other areas will also receive full
consideration. Relevant AI research may include advancing
state-of-the-art AI models or methods, including large language
models, vision-language models, world models, and related systems;
incorporating AI into business processes and workflows; or
rigorously studying how AI affects organizational operations,
firms, workers, markets, and society. AI should form a substantive
part of the candidate's research agenda rather than solely as a
tool for research design, analysis, or writing. Applicants must
hold a Ph.D. in Business, Operations Research, Industrial
Engineering, Statistics/Econometrics, Computer Science, or another
relevant discipline by the appointment start date. Successful
candidates will be expected to produce high-quality research and
teach effectively in the area of Operations, Supply Chains, and
Information Systems. Candidates publishing in the top INFORMS
journals are encouraged to apply. We will also consider candidates
who publish in the best outlets in affiliated fields but have
demonstrated relevance to business research.

Interested individuals should upload a cover letter, curriculum
vitae, research and teaching statements, a sample of research
papers, and contact information for three recommendation letter
writers (letters will be only requested upon selection for a later
stage interview). Review of applications will begin immediately and
will continue until the position is filled. For full consideration
we encourage you to apply by October 31, 2026.

The department welcomes candidates from all backgrounds; and makes
every attempt to support their academic, professional, and personal
success while they are here. This institution offers benefits to
spouses. This institution offers benefits to same-sex and to
different sex domestic partners.

About the School: The University of Utah is
located in Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah which is the
fastest-growing tech state in the U.S. and home to the “Silicon
Slopes” agglomeration of technology companies, including
significant operations for Adobe, eBay, Intel, Micron, DOMO,
Goldman Sachs, and Qualtrics. The University is within a day's
drive of a dozen national parks. Nine ski and snowboard resorts are
nestled in the mountains above Salt Lake City, which hosted the
Winter Olympic Games in 2002 and has been selected to host the
Olympic Games again in 2034. The American Economic Development
Institute named Utah the number one pro-business state in the
country, the first state west of the Mississippi River to earn this
recognition, and noted the state's leadership in economic
development, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

The University of Utah is a member of the Association of American
Universities, a prestigious, invitation-only group of 71 leading
research institutions marked by excellence in academic expertise
and research impact, student success, and the ability to secure
resources in support of their core missions. The University is on
the rise, as measured by nearly every key indicator, from
graduation rates to research funding, to support from private and
public partners. The Eccles School of Business has made similar
significant gains. As the University aspires to become a top-10
public university, senior faculty in the Eccles School will play a
key role in shaping the future contributions of the Business School
in support of this mission.
