Description
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management at 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA invites applications for a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor position in Operations Research and Statistics (OR/Stat) beginning July 1, 2026, or as soon thereafter as possible. Strong applicants will demonstrate the potential for research and teaching excellence in any of the sub-fields of Operations Research and Statistics, including Data Science, Optimization, Statistics, Analytics (including applied Machine Learning and AI), and/or Operations Research broadly construed. We are especially interested in candidates who can build a strong methodological research base, contribute to application areas of high impact, and successfully teach in our undergraduate, MBA, MBAnalytics, and/or PhD programs. Duties will include teaching undergraduate and/or graduate level courses in Operations Research, Statistics, and Data Science, and conducting original scholarly research in Operations Research, Statistics, Data Science, or related fields. The MIT Sloan School of Management offers supportive mentorship to new faculty, an exceptional environment for scientific inquiry, and a strong commitment to an inclusive, welcoming culture.
The pay range for a 9-month academic appointment at the entry-level Assistant Professor rank (excluding summer salary): $225,000 - $254,000. The pay offered to a selected candidate during hiring will be based on factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the candidate's work experience and education/training, internal peer equity, and applicable legal requirements. These factors impact where an individual's pay falls within a range. Employment is contingent upon the completion of a satisfactory background check, including verifying any finding of misconduct (or pending investigation) from prior employers.
Qualifications
Applicants should possess a PhD in Operations Research, Statistics, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, or a related relevant field by the start of employment.
Application Instructions
