Jobbeschreibung

The Department of Management, Technology, and Economics (D-MTEC, www.mtec.ethz.ch ) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position.

Decision sciences provide insights into decision-making and derive recommendations to guide it based on principles from mathematics, statistics, computer science, and behavioral sciences. Operations research (OR) and/or advanced analytics applied to empirical business problems are particularly relevant to this position. Therefore, the future professor must be an expert in quantitative methods. Competitive candidates maintain an outstanding research program in contemporary decision sciences, with an emphasis on applied analysis of business problems relevant to managerial practice at the organizational level. Collaboration with industry partners is expected.

For this position, D-MTEC is not looking for candidates specializing in transportation science, ecosystem perspectives such as energy systems, or the role of cognition in decision-making.

The new professor is expected to be an effective and enthusiastic teacher who will develop and teach courses in areas such as applied operations research and business analytics. At the assistant professor level, commitment to teaching and the ability to establish and lead a research group in decision sciences are expected.

Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of younger scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent to that of other top international universities.

ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, the names and contact information of three possible referees, a statement of future research and teaching interests, a description of the leadership philosophy, a description of the three most important achievements*, and a certificate of the highest degree. The letter of application should be addressed to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Joël Mesot. The closing date for applications is 31 August 2025.
