The ITAO Department is home to a host of approaches and backgrounds making for a vibrant research environment, which results in frequent, compelling, and unique collaborative research projects among our faculty. The department also houses the Humanitarian Operations Lab (HOPE), Human-centered Analytics Lab (HAL), Gaming Analytics Lab (GAMA), and the OPS Lab (Operations and Platforms for Sustainability).

ITAO researchers enjoy generous allocations of resources from Notre Dame’s Center for Research Computing and the support of a staff of three full-time Mendoza College of Business data scientists and a director of behavioral research who oversees the Mendoza Behavioral Lab.
Duties include research, teaching, and service, though service expectations are reduced for new assistant professors. The teaching load is 9 credit hours per year. Salary and research budget are highly competitive, with generous summer support based on research productivity.
