DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCE

READER/PROFESSOR


The Department of Management Science at the University of Strathclyde is seeking to recruit a Professor or Reader in Management Science/Operational Research (MS/OR). The post is designed to strengthen the Department's research base and contribute to the University's strategic ambition to be recognized as a leading technological university. The appointee will be a leading researcher in Management Science/Operational Research. We particularly welcome applications from, but are not limited by, those with an interest in the areas of health, energy or operations management. We seek individuals who have a strong methodological basis and have experience of translating theory to practice through collaborative research that engages with user groups. The department has a strong reputation in both theory and collaborative research, runs a popular Masters programme in MS/OR, and has a strong doctoral programme. It is part of Strathclyde Business School, one of the top ranking UK Business Schools.

MS/OR is a key area for the university in developing its Technology and Innovation Centre, an £89 million investment supported by Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Funding Council. This centre links industry and public bodies with the university through programmes in Energy, Health and Advanced Manufacturing. MS/OR researchers contribute to each of these themes. Strathclyde's Technology and Innovation Centre sits alongside its other industrial research centres  and the UK's first Fraunhofer Centre. The university's innovative approach to industrial collaboration is one of the factors that have resulted in it being named UK University of the Year by THE. The university's rapidly developing industrial research collaborations offers tremendous opportunities for MS/OR researchers.
