[Logprofs] Position Announcement at Ohio State University

[Croxton, Keely]

Department: Fisher College of Business, Marketing & Logistics

Position: Supply Chain Risk and Resilience

Rank: Senior Assistant, Associate or Full Professor

Description

The Department of Marketing and Logistics in the Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State
University seeks a scholar with emerging or established international reputation in the area of
Supply Chain Risk and Resilience. This is a tenure-track position with either Full, Associate, or
Senior Assistant rank.

This position is partially funded by Ohio State's Discovery Themes Initiative<http://discovery.osu.edu>, a significant
investment that leverages the university’s expansive scholarly resources, creativity and shared
commitment to make a global impact. As such, candidates will be expected to engage in
cross-disciplinary research and activities and provide intellectual leadership to the University’s
Discovery Theme Initiatives<https://discovery.osu.edu>, specifically the Initiative for Food and AgriCultural Transformation<https://discovery.osu.edu/focus-areas/infact/> (InFACT).

The appointee will be expected to provide thought leadership and conduct innovative research on
food supply chain risk and resilience. Enterprise resilience is the capacity to survive, adapt, and
flourish in the face of unforeseen disruptions and risks, including infrastructure failures, natural
hazards, material shortages, economic fluctuations, and political conflicts. A risk and
resilience perspective requires consideration of the entire human food chain, from sustainable
production, processing, and manufacturing through distribution, consumption, waste
management and recycling.

Experience and past research in this area focused on the food industry will be particularly
attractive but is not required. If the candidate’s current research is not in the area of food,
however, they will be expected to develop a stream of research on food supply chains in
collaboration with faculty associated with the InFACT Discovery Theme as part of their research
portfolio. Considering the cross-disciplinary requirements of the position, preferred candidates at
the Assistant rank would have prior post-Ph.D. academic experience. Among the unique
resources available to the successful candidate is access to the expertise of top scholars from
across the University and widespread extramural partnerships focused on the challenge of food
security, from local to global scales.

Candidates will be expected to publish in top management journals, with emphasis on those in
the logistics and supply chain management domain, and teach in the Fisher College of Business’s
undergraduate, MBA, and/or Ph.D. programs.

Qualifications

Applicants must have earned a Ph.D. in logistics, supply chain, operations management, or a
related field prior to the employment start date, with prior academic experience strongly
preferred. Evidence of productivity and excellence in research, teaching and public engagement
is required. All applicants are expected to maintain strong research programs, to participate in
high impact public engagement efforts, and to contribute to both graduate and undergraduate
supervision and instruction. Preferred qualifications include evidence of involvement in
successful interdisciplinary research teams and experience mentoring members of
underrepresented groups.

Application Instructions

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled, but those received before September 30,
2017 will receive priority consideration. Interviews will be conducted at the CSCMP Conference
in Atlanta, the DSI Conference in Washington or via phone/Skype. Complete applications
include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, and three
letters of recommendation. Please submit application materials to FCOB-logrecruit at osu.edu<mailto:FCOB-logrecruit at osu.edu>.
All additional inquires should be directed to search co-chair Michael Knemeyer at
knemeyer.4 at osu.edu<mailto:knemeyer.4 at osu.edu>.
