In 1965, he joined the department of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences as an assistant professor at Northwestern University. During 1971–1972, he was a visiting professor in the department of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University, and became full professor of Operations Research in 1972 at Northwestern. He then joined the department of Civil Engineering and Operations Research as a professor at Princeton University in 1985.[6][7]

Research areas

Çinlar is the co-founder (along with Kai-lai Chung and Ronald Getoor) of the seminar on stochastic processes,[8] which is an annual conference on probability topics such as Markov processes, Brownian motion, superprocesses, stochastic analysis, and mathematical finance.[9]
