The Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) at Columbia Engineering invites applications for a Lecturer in Discipline or a Senior Lecturer in Discipline. These are full-time, non-tenure-track faculty roles designed to meet instructional needs in specialized fields. Lecturers in the department enjoy voting rights at faculty meetings, serve on departmental committees, and earn a Dean's Leave on a timeline similar to that of tenure-track faculty.

The department promotes a culture of innovation and experimentation in teaching, emphasizing active learning and the development of hybrid and online learning environments.

We seek candidates with teaching interests in any areas of Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Data Science, or Financial Engineering. The successful candidate will be involved in all aspects of the educational mission of the Department, which includes developing curricula and courses for relevant graduate and undergraduate programs, executive programs for practitioners, and industry contacts for sponsored projects for experiential learning courses. Since this is a teaching position, applicants must have excellent teaching credentials and communication skills. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline by the start date of the appointment.

Candidates at the rank of Lecturer in Discipline are expected to have teaching experience and documented evidence of pedagogical excellence. Candidates at the rank of Senior Lecturer in Discipline are expected to have substantial experience and accomplishments, a superlative record of teaching as a lecturer, and documented evidence of pedagogical excellence and administrative or other department responsibilities.
