Her PhD was followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at Dalhousie University.
In 1975, Granot joined UBC’s Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration (now the Sauder School of Business) where she was awarded the Advisory Council Chair Professor in Management Science in 1986. She has held visiting positions at Le Centre de recherches mathйmatiques in Montreal, the IBM Thomas J. WatsonResearch Centre at Yorktown Heights, as well as Stanford University, Tel-Aviv University, and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
Granot’s accomplishments have earned her an international reputation. She is author and co-author of over 50
publications in top peer-reviewed journals. Her research is interdisciplinary in nature, covering theoretical and
applied aspects in areas such as discrete mathematics, mathematical programming, game theory, and network
flows. Starting with her first appointment year, this research has been continuously supported by substantial
NSERC operating grants. In 1995-96 she served as a member of the INFORMS (Institute for Operations Research

National Board of the Canadian Technion Society, and the Board of the Business Families Centre at the Sauder
School of Business at UBC. In 2007, she became Vice-Chair of the Board of the Council for Early Child
Development. In 2008, she joined the Board of Governors of the International Development Research Centre
