The appointment is slated to begin in August 2025.

We seek a motivated candidate with a Ph.D. in operations research, business analytics, management science, operations management, information systems, data science, industrial engineering, or a closely related quantitative field, from an accredited higher education institution.

The Freeman College and Bucknell University embrace the teacher-scholar model. Candidates should be highly capable and willing to teach a variety of undergraduate analytics and analytics-related courses in addition to courses within the candidate's area of scholarly interest and background. The successful candidate is expected to successfully deliver courses that span from introduction to spreadsheet modeling, data analysis, and Python programming, to more advanced analytics courses such as data mining, optimization, or simulation. Faculty will also have the opportunity to develop and offer new courses of interest to support the current and growing instructional needs in our business analytics major & minor, as well as in university-wide electives. The standard teaching load at Bucknell University is five courses per academic year.

The approximately 700 undergraduate students in the AACSB-accredited Freeman College of Management may choose among eight highly interdisciplinary majors that combine courses in the various fields of management, with offerings also in the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences, and engineering. Our innovative curriculum and world-class teacher-scholars earned Freeman College a top-20 ranking in the Poets & Quants' annual survey of undergraduate business programs in each of the past 3 years. We believe that an undergraduate education combining technical skills and deep intellectual exploration is the best preparation for thoughtful and capable leaders. New faculty members must be capable of contributing to this mission through progressive teaching, advising, scholarship, and service.

Our new colleague will show great promise of a vigorous scholarly trajectory, as well as a strong commitment to collaboration and interdisciplinarity. The Freeman College supports both traditional scholarship and creative scholarship that transcends disciplinary boundaries. The business analytics faculty have varied research interests, spanning discrete optimization, the interface between operations research and machine learning, pricing and revenue management, scheduling, supply chain management, and the application of operations research methods in healthcare. The successful candidate will add their scholarly expertise to the intellectual community of the department, is invested in and committed to our growth and success, and is passionate to further develop student opportunities and pathways for their success.
