New York University Part-Time Instructor, Operations Research in Brooklyn, New York
The Department of Technology Management and Innovation at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering invites applications for a part-time, non-tenured instructor in operations research, with a start date of January 23, 2023.
We invite applicants to teach one or more graduate or undergraduate courses. In particular, we presently seek instructors for the following course:
Title: IE-GY 6283 Operations Research - Probability and Stochastic Models
Meeting Time: Mondays 2:00 - 4:30 pm - September 1, 2022 to December 14, 2022
Overview: Operations Research is an applied science that is concerned with quantitative decision problems that generally involve the allocation and control of limited resources. Such problems arise, for example, in the operations of industrial firms, financial institutions, health care organizations, transportation systems, energy and resources, and government.
An operations research analyst develops and uses mathematical and statistical models to help solve decision problems. Like engineers, they are problem formulators and solvers. Their work requires the formation of a mathematical model of a system and the analysis and prediction of the consequences of alternate modes of operating the system.
The analysis may involve mathematical optimization techniques, probabilistic and statistical methods, experiments, and computer simulations.
Objectives: To give students a solid foundation in operations, services and system analysis based upon fundamental principles in deterministic, probability and stochastic models.
You should be an excellent teacher. You should have a graduate degree in Industrial Engineering or a closely related discipline and a record of teaching experience in one or more of these areas.

New York University (NYU) is one of the top private universities in the United States, and NYU Tandon School of Engineering traces its roots back to 1854, building on an illustrious past as Brooklyn Poly and the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering. Our mission is to excel in research, teaching, and entrepreneurship and inspire and educate engineers for the 21st century — backed by an historic commitment of $1 billion (https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2022/november/Tandon_3Metrotech.html) to recruit new faculty, fuel groundbreaking basic and applied research in key areas, and expand the Downtown Brooklyn campus. NYU Tandon faculty are world renowned leaders in science and technology, with a strong commitment to research, innovation, and entrepreneurship that make a difference in the world. We lead and have ties to multidisciplinary centers in wireless technology, cybersecurity, urban informatics, data sciences, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and health, among others. Our faculty and students are part of the high-tech start-up culture in New York City and in downtown Brooklyn, and we support three “future lab” business incubators that connect our students and faculty to today’s innovation economy. We are deeply committed to teaching and learning, and with NYU's unrivaled global network of campuses, we promote a truly global engineering education.
NYU Tandon is committed to substantially increase the proportion of our faculty from historically underrepresented groups in STEM and we encourage candidates from such groups to apply. We aspire to create a climate where diversity and inclusion are not only appreciated but considered an asset for creativity and innovation, and we seek faculty who have a real passion for a culturally diverse environment. We take pride in our high numbers of female students and students who are the first in their family to go to college. NYU belongs to the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC), which assists with dual-career searches, and our faculty are supported by a range of work-life balance programs provided by the NYU Office of Work Life (https://www.nyu.edu/about/leadership-university-administration/office-of-the-president/office-of-the-provost/work-life.html) .
