1. What is OperationsAcademia.org?
Our vision is to make the search for an academic job in Operations (and related areas) more efficient and transparent. We also aim to better understand the dynamics and research trends in our field to better inform: PhD Candidates, recently hired faculty members and hiring decision-makers, as well as prospective graduate Students who wish to apply to PhD programs in our field.

In this website you will find the first Job Market Survey ever conducted for Job Market Candidates in Operations Management/Research (and related areas), academic job postings, PhD Candidates looking for an academic position, confirmed placements, and recently hired faculty members.

This website is supported by the MSOM Society of INFORMS and it is founded and managed by Konstantinos I. Stouras, Assistant Professor, Operations Management, UCD Smurfit Graduate Business School in his free time. All inputs are posted by the academic community by verified individuals. We are always open for feedback and suggestions on how to improve this initiative; please post suggested improvements/comments, and vote for already existing ones to encourage their development. Further, by using this website you indicate that you have read the Terms and Conditions and that you agree to abide by them. Do not hesitate to contact us, should you need any further information.
