TENURED/TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITION IN OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
The Lee Kong Chian School of Business (LKCSB) at Singapore Management University (SMU) invites applications for multiple tenured/tenure-track faculty positions in Operations Management (OM) at all ranks. A Ph.D. (or near completion in the case of junior Assistant rank) in OM or a closely related field is required. While the positions are open for any candidate with research interests in broad domains of OM, those specializing in analytics (AI, machine learning), entrepreneurship, or sustainability are specifically encouraged to apply. LKCSB has a particular focus on high-impact research. In the recent FT Research Impact ranking, LKCSB was ranked 2nd in Asia and 21st globally. Therefore, research with significant (potential) impact on industry or society is particularly welcome.
LKCSB is a vibrant and culturally diverse business school, located in the heart of downtown Singapore, with approximately 5,500 students and over 130 full-time faculty members. The school offers a wide array of undergraduate and postgraduate programs, including Ph.D, MBA, EMBA, MSc, DBA, as well as executive education. The OM group at LKCSB consists of 24 faculty members with diverse research expertise with strong publication record.
LKCSB provides internationally competitive remuneration, generous research support and conference funding. International faculty are offered housing and schooling subsidy as well as relocation assistance. The teaching load for pre-tenure faculty is 2 courses per academic year during their initial four-year contract, 3 courses per academic year during the second three-year contract (if renewed) and after tenure. Tenured faculty members with exceptional research performance are also eligible for reduced teaching loads.
