The Heinz College at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications for tenure-track positions at the assistant professor level who are cross-trained in operations research/management science and data analytics for the 2022-23 academic year. The College is home to the University’s School of Information Systems and Management and its School of Public Policy and Management – a unique co-location of IT, Public Policy and Management.

Successful candidates will have outstanding research abilities and be committed to achieving excellence in teaching. The College houses several research centers with deep strengths in analytics (e.g., with our Smart Cities Institute), encourages and enables societal and policy impact (e.g., with our Block Center for Technology and Society) and has close ties via research centers, student advising, and faculty collaborations with the Tepper School of Business, Department of Statistics, Department of Machine Learning, Department of Social and Decision Sciences and the College of Engineering.

Carnegie Mellon is committed to increasing the diversity of its community on a range of intellectual, cultural and social dimensions. We welcome faculty applicants who will contribute to this diversity through their research, teaching and service.
