The Sprott School of Business invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Operations Management at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, effective July 1, 2010. The successful candidate will have opportunities to teach courses in the undergraduate, MBA, PhD, and Professional programs to a culturally diverse student body; supervise graduate students; maintain an active research program; pursuit research funding; and participate actively in the ongoing development of our Operations Management program in a highly collegial environment. The candidate must possess a Ph.D in Operations Management, or equivalent; have a strong record of research publications and productivity consistent with AACSB guidelines for a doctoral granting business school; and have a high potential teaching excellence. Preference will be given to candidates who demonstrate (a) high-quality research that is of managerial relevance, especially to service operations, and interests in empirical research methodology (survey, case studies, action research); (b) teaching capabilities of the core undergraduate courses (Operations Management, Management Science) and at least two of the Area elective undergraduate courses (quality management, simulation, supply chain management, and technology management); (c) with industry experience, gained in any sector after the bachelor’s or master’s level, in a position directly relevant to the operations management function. In addition, an Operation Management’s related professional designation (e.g., ASQ, CPIM/CFPIM, CPP, CSCP, PMP, etc.) is an asset. Candidates whose degrees and/or academic experience are predominantly from non-business departments should clearly explain how they would fit within a business school environment.
The Sprott School of Business is committed to excellence in teaching and research (Best Overall Performance Award, ASAC 2008), and is in the process of obtaining AACSB Accreditation. The Sprott Endowment Fund with a current market value of over $28 million allows the School to engage in innovative program development and offer supplemental research support for faculty. The School offers Bachelor of Commerce with Honours, Bachelor of International Business with Honours, Masters in Business Administration, and Ph.D. in Management degrees.

Carleton University is located on a beautiful campus in the central portion of Ottawa, bounded by the Rideau River on one side, and the Rideau Canal on the other. Its prime location, minutes from downtown, the airport, as well as the Gatineau Hills, enhances quality of life, and allows for recreational opportunities for individuals and families. The City of Ottawa itself, with a population of almost one million, is Canada's capital and reflects the country's bilingual and multicultural character. Carleton's location in the capital also provides many opportunities for research with groups and institutions that focus on private, public and not-for-profit sector management.
Subject to budgetary approval, salary and benefits are competitive and commensurate with qualifications. The search will close on November 20, 2009, or when the position has been filled. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. Carleton University is strongly committed to fostering diversity within its community as a source of excellence, cultural enrichment, and social strength. We welcome those who would contribute to the further diversification of our faculty and its scholarship, including but not limited to women, visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples and persons with disabilities. Persons from these groups are encouraged to apply. In any case, the applications of Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
Please send covering letter, curriculum vitae, record of teaching experience and effectiveness, copies of up to four representative publications, PhD transcripts, and names and contact information of three references to:
