Open Rank Tenure Track Faculty - Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position (open rank) with a focus in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Candidates will be appointed in the Department of Marketing and Logistics (with a potential for joint appointments across departments or colleges) but must demonstrate significant AI expertise as a core element of their scholarship whether through the creation of new AI methods or novel use of AI techniques that materially advance knowledge, methods, or practice in their discipline.

For this search, “AI” includes (but is not limited to) machine learning (ML), deep learning, reinforcement learning, optimization for/with ML, probabilistic modeling, trustworthy/responsible AI (fairness, safety, privacy, robustness, interpretability), human-centered AI, NLP, computer vision, robotics, scientific/physics-informed ML, AI systems and infrastructure, as well as domain-driven AI advancements in and across disciplines.

In addition to the disciplinary requirements for potential selection as a faculty in the Department of Marketing and Logistics, a qualified candidate will develop, advance, or rigorously evaluate AI methods, lead AI-centered applications that produce generalizable methodological advances (e.g., new algorithms, models, evaluation frameworks, datasets/benchmarks, or system designs), or design/adapt AI approaches to solve previously intractable questions in a domain leading to generalizable insights and advancements. Routine use of off-the-shelf AI tools that do not produce methodological innovation, or field-advancing knowledge is not sufficient for an AI faculty hire.

Moreover, candidates must demonstrate the ability to combine AI-related research with substantive problems and issues in marketing, working collaboratively with department faculty and doctoral students. All courses are taught in person on the University’s main campus in Columbus, Ohio.

Performance Objectives: Demonstrate outstanding achievement in research. Creating and delivering course materials. Creating an engaging classroom environment. Demonstrate commitment to student success. Collaboration with fellow instructors. Publications in top journals.

Education and Experience Requirements: Completion of a Ph.D. in marketing or a related field is required. Candidates for Assistant Professor should expect to complete their Ph.D. in the near future. Candidates for Assistant Professor must demonstrate the potential for outstanding achievement in research and teaching. Candidates for Associate Professor or Professor must have evidence of publications in top-tier outlets as well as mentoring of Ph.D. students. These candidates must also have a minimum of five years of experience in a tenured or tenure-track position at a business school that is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) or International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE).
