We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.

Warwick Business School (WBS) is a research-led, triple-accredited university-based business school with a portfolio of world-class programmes. We seek exceptional academics to join our faculty and are now inviting applications for the position of Assistant Professor in Operations Management (OM).

At WBS, the OM group has a distinguished history of excellence in research, teaching, and real-world impact. As the birthplace of modern OM in Europe during the 1980s and 1990s, the group pioneered developments in areas such as quality management and service operations. Today, it continues to lead the field with award-winning work in sustainable supply chains, healthcare operations, innovation management, and performance measurement and management.

While grounded in the field of OM, the group members’ work is often the result of collaborations with colleagues in other areas of management research, such as innovation, organisation theory, marketing, and international business, and it has led to publications in high quality journals including the Journal of Operations Management, Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, and Research Policy.

About You

We are particularly interested in empirically oriented applicants who focus on organizational problems of contemporary relevance adopting a process perspective and who propose ambitious research plans in subjects such as supply chain management, process improvement, environmental and social issues in operations, performance measurement and management, service operations, innovation and technology management, and project management.

Applicants should have completed or be very close to the completion of doctoral studies in operations management or an adjacent discipline. They should be able to pursue their own independent research, demonstrate their ability to publish in world leading journals in operations management and beyond, and be able to deliver excellent teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

To streamline our hiring processes, we can only accept applications via our official website, warwick-careers.tal.net.
