Professor of AI in Marketing and Logistics

Job Title

Open Rank Professor of AI in Marketing and Logistics

Fisher College | Marketing and Logistics

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.

Immigration/visa sponsorship may be available in very limited situations (e.g., F1/OPT to H-1b, H-1b change of employer), but all decisions concerning immigration/visa sponsorship will depend on an evaluation of complexity and risk.

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.

• Demonstrate outstanding achievement in research.
• Sustain a record of impactful peer-reviewed publications in top-tier business journals.
• Create and deliver effective course materials.
• Create an engaging classroom environment.
• Demonstrate commitment to student success.
• Collaborate effectively with fellow instructors.
• Effective service to the Department, the College and/or University, and to the greater academic and business community.

The minimum requirements for the position are a PhD in business and/or a related field and evidence of an ability to conduct high-quality research.

Faculty in the department have a base salary between: $150,000-$200,000 for assistant professors, $200,000-$250,000 for associate professors, and $250,000-$450,000 for full professors. The offer for this position will be based on internal equity and the candidate's qualifications.
