Duties will include research and teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels.

Applicants should possess, or be close to completing, a PhD in computer science, operations research, statistics, or a related discipline by the start date of employment. Applications should be submitted by e-mail to facultyaffairs@bus.miami.edu, and should include the following: a curriculum vitae, up to three representative publications, brief research and teaching statements, an official graduate transcript (for the junior Assistant Professor level), information about teaching experience and performance evaluations, and three letters of recommendation.
