The Heinz College of Public Policy and Information Systems<\/a> has a large contingent of operations researchers, including Al Blumstein<\/a>, one of the founding researchers in our field. \u00a0And the Heinz College is hiring in our area! \u00a0Here is the announcement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Carnegie Mellon University\u2019s Heinz College\u00a0 is currently expanding its program targeted at analysis, design, and eventual implementation of Urban Systems and is seeking to recruit tenure-track\u00a0faculty to be key participants in those developments. Heinz College (www.heinz.cmu.edu<\/a>) consists of a School of Public Policy and Management and a School of Information Systems and Management.<\/p>\n

We are seeking individuals from a diversity of related disciplines, including economics, transportation, operations research and the management sciences, statistics, and systems engineering with specific attention to civil engineering.<\/p>\n

Our interests in Urban Systems include transportation systems, public-safety systems, and the built environment. While these problem domains are diverse, to be addressed effectively an interdisciplinary perspective is required. We are thus seeking candidates who are open to collaborating with researchers from other disciplines. We have developed relationships with a number of cities, including Pittsburgh and New York, as sources of data, experimental opportunities for improved system designs, and expertise in the realm of problems associated with their operating systems.<\/p>\n

All candidates should have a PhD (or should demonstrate that one will be achieved shortly) in relation to one of the identified disciplines and have demonstrated research competence. Interested applicants are asked to send their application to the Urban Systems Search Committee at\u00a0urban-sys-heinz-college@andrew.cmu.edu<\/a>. An application should include a cover letter indicating their particular interests and their sense of fit with the Heinz College, a CV, copies of any published papers, and three sources of reference letters.<\/p>\n

We will be conducting interviews at the October INFORMS meeting in Phoenix. For consideration at these meetings, applications should be submitted at least one month in advance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If this sounds like you, please consider applying. \u00a0I look forward to having even more operations research on this campus!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
