economic networks, and (iii) economics, operations and learning theory, under the supervision of

Candidates must have obtained a PhD preceding the start date of appointment in operations
research, computer science, economics, applied mathematics, or a related discipline, and have a
strong theoretical background and record of accomplishment in research on similar topics. Term of
appointment will be two years with competitive salary and benefits and possibility of one additional
year contingent upon availability of funding and satisfactory performance. The term of appointment
may commence anytime on or after August 15, 2020.
Postdocs are expected to contribute to the intellectual life of Chicago Booth and the Operations
Management group. This contribution can happen in different ways, ranging from collaborating on
