ANNOUNCE Faculty opening in system dynamics at MIT

Post by John Sterman »

Folks,

The MIT Sloan School of Management invites applications for a
tenure-track faculty position in system dynamics, to begin Fall 2005.
The position (along with two additional related openings in
operations research and operations management) is described below.
Candidates should have strong research ability, and the capability to
teach effectively in a variety of settings, including MBA and
executive education. Candidates should have excellent training in
system dynamics and/or related methods for modeling the dynamics of
complex systems, such as agent-based modeling, nonlinear dynamics,
control theory, or computer simulation, as well as research interests
relevant to the management and/or behavioral sciences. System
dynamics at Sloan is closely affiliated with both the management
sciences and organization studies. We encourage applications from
candidates whose research interests are interdisciplinary, including
applicants whose research involves the social and behavioral
sciences. MIT is an equal opportunity employer committed to building
a culturally diverse intellectual community and strongly encourages
applications from women and minorities.
