The School of Management at the University of Bath is seeking to make an appointment at Lecturer (Assistant Professor) or Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the Information, Decisions and Operations (IDO) Division. 

Applications are welcome from scholars with research interests in any IDO-related theme but for this post we have a specific preference for scholars with advanced analytics, operational research, data science, or machine learning expertise, with a core focus on applying inter-disciplinary insights to tackle significant, real-world, business and social challenges.

IDO is also home to research centres focused on cyber security (CREST), supply chain management (HPC Supply Chain Innovation Lab), healthcare innovation (CHI2), warehousing and logistics (Centre for Smart Warehousing and Logistics Systems) and EPSRC and ESRC funded projects ranging from human aspects of cybersecurity to complex project management. 

In addition to the research role, you will contribute to our range of highly rated undergraduate and postgraduate offerings. The Division’s teaching portfolio includes specialist MSc programmes in Business Analytics, Operations, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and Innovation and Technology Management, as well as more general management undergraduate and MBA programmes. As we grow our portfolio of on-line delivery, we are also very interested in candidates who have experience in designing and delivering via digital channels. Members of the IDO Division are also involved in a range of executive development offerings.
