*Apologies for cross-listing*

Lecturer and Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Management Science/Operational Research (2 Posts)
Department of Management Science, Strathclyde Business School
University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland

The Department of Management Science at the University of Strathclyde is seeking to recruit two Academics in Management Science/Operational Research (MS/OR). One of these posts may be appointed at Senior Lecturer level. These posts are 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 appointees are expected to be accomplished researchers in Management Science/Operational Research. We particularly welcome applications from, but are not limited to, those with an interest in the areas of analytics, simulation, soft OR, optimisation, operations/project management. We seek individuals who have a strong methodological basis, the potential to make significant research contributions and an ability to translate theory to practice through collaborative research 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. This Centre links industry and public bodies with the University through programmes in Energy, Health, Future Cities 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 led it to being awarded UK University of the Year in 2012. The University's rapidly developing industrial research collaborations offer tremendous opportunities for MS/OR researchers.

Please note that a Lecturer in the UK is equivalent to Assistant Professor in the US and involves research, teaching and knowledge exchange.
