Does your research focus on Forecasting/ Predictive Analytics? Are you on the job market this year?

The School of Management at the University of Bath is inviting applications for Lecturer/Assistant Professor or Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor (Research & Teaching) to work within the Information, Decisions and Operations (IDO) Division.

The IDO Division encompasses around 35 faculty with diverse research portfolios, ranging from Forecasting, Analytics, Operational Research and Management Science (see for example Fotios Petropoulos ), empirical OM / SCM / PM (see for example Jens Roehrich ), and IS / cyber security (see for example, Adam Joinson ). For a look at the kind of work we do within the division as a whole, see the IDO website , Centre for Smart Warehousing and Logistics Systems , Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats , and Centre for Healthcare Innovation and Innovation Bath School of Management is one of the highest-ranking management schools in Europe in terms of both its research and education. Research support includes funding for conference attendance, data collection and research visits; a dedicated grant support team; and generous research allowances within our workload.

The IDO Division has excellent industry and academic networks which support a thriving and highly collegiate environment. Our probation system offers Assistant Professors the possibility to obtain tenure after three years. Requirements for tenure (and promotion) focus on the quality of research outputs and teaching delivery, and are comparable to other top business schools.

We will appoint at the appropriate spine point in grade 8 or 9 depending on appointment to the role of Lecturer or Senior Lecturer.

It is anticipated that the successful candidate will take up role in September 2024.

For this post, we are particularly keen to recruit forecasting scholars. Importantly, within this umbrella, we welcome applications from scholars whose research focuses on forecasting in social settings, including forecasting for operations and businesses, using computer-based/systematic (statistical and/or machine-learning) approaches to forecasting/ prediction but also exploring qualitative/ behavioural aspects of forecasting. Furthermore, we place value on researchers that engage in significant, real-world, business, and social challenges.

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; Innovation and Technology Management; Engineering and Business Management; and Operations, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, as well as more general management undergraduate and MBA programmes. As we grow our portfolio of on-line delivery, we are also interested in candidates who have experience in designing and delivering via digital channels.

Applications must include:

    Academic CV;

    Research statement - this should describe your current and future research aspirations, your publication strategy, and links to impact;

    Teaching statement - this should describe your approach to teaching, your teaching experience, and a sample of student scores/feedback
