About the Roles

The Department of Management and Marketing is looking for an Assistant or Associate Professor of Operations Management (Levels B-D in the Australian system) to join its operations management (OM) group. The Department hosts one of the largest and strongest OM groups in Australia, with a mix of qualitative, empirical, and analytical researchers. Colleagues from the group regularly publish research in top-tier journals in the field, including Journal of Operations Management, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Operations Research, and Production and Operations Management. They also contribute strongly to a broader community through consulting projects with industry partners, engagement with media outlets, and the development of executive programs.
