The Pennsylvania State University seeks to fill the position of Smeal Chaired Professor in its department of Supply Chain and Information Systems to begin in Fall 2011. The ideal individual should have a distinguished academic record with a strong emphasis in the management of supply chains, broadly interpreted, and with a strong appreciation of the critical issues in related domains.

The overarching mission of the department is to form a community of scholars focusing on conducting leading edge supply chain research by modeling, describing, explaining and optimizing supply chain processes. The ideal candidate will find synergy with the several research streams represented within the department and appreciate the increasing cross-functionality of management education.
