Assistant or Associate Professor in Management – Operations and Supply Chain Management

Alba Graduate Business School seeks an ambitious scholar with a strong research trajectory in Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, or a closely related area of Management.

Relevant research areas include operations and supply chain management, logistics and transportation, operations analytics, supply chain resilience and risk, sustainable operations, service operations, and digital and AI-enabled operations. Given Alba's strong engagement with the Greek business community, research related to shipping, maritime business, and logistics is particularly welcome, although not required.

The successful candidate will be expected to develop an internationally visible research program, publish in high-quality peer-reviewed journals, pursue competitive external research funding, and engage in interdisciplinary collaboration.

Teaching will be across Alba's MBA, MSc, and Executive Education programs. Depending on expertise and School needs, teaching may include areas such as operations management, production and service operations, supply chain management, logistics, operations analytics, and related quantitative and management subjects. Candidates are not expected to cover all these areas, but the ability to teach graduate-level Operations Management and/or Supply Chain Management is important.

Required Qualifications for Assistant or Associate Professors:

• Candidates should hold a completed PhD in a relevant field and currently hold, or have recently held, an academic appointment at a recognized university or business school or a research-intensive postdoctoral position.
• Candidates for appointment at the Assistant Professor level should demonstrate an emerging record of high-quality research, normally evidenced by peer-reviewed journal publications, together with a strong and developing research pipeline. Evidence of working papers targeted at, under review, or at the revise-and-resubmit stage in leading journals, including AJG 3 or AJG 4 journals, will be particularly valued.
• Candidates considered for appointment at the Associate Professor level should demonstrate a sustained record of publication in leading journals, including journals of distinction such as FT50 and/or AJG 4/4* journals, together with a robust pipeline of high-quality research.
• At either level, candidates should demonstrate a commitment to high-quality teaching and the potential to develop competitive research proposals and attract external funding. Experience or interest in Executive Education and engagement with business and industry is desirable.
• Appointment will be at the Assistant or Associate Professor level, commensurate with the successful candidate's qualifications and experience. For appointment at the Assistant Professor level, applications from scholars who received their PhD within approximately the last six years are particularly encouraged.
