Ozyegin University

The School of Business at Özyeğin University, Istanbul, Turkey invites applications at all levels for a faculty position in Operations Management, starting Fall 2026.

Research that applies these tools to domain-specific OM problems or integrates business analytics for decision-making is particularly welcome.
