Two Tenure Track Faculty Positions in Information Systems


The Operations & Information Management (OIM) Department of the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst invites applications for two tenure track positions to start in September 2024. The first position is at the Assistant Professor level and the second at the level of Associate or senior Assistant Professor. Appropriate levels of experience are invited to apply.

Requirements:
Candidates are expected to hold a Ph.D. in Information Systems or a closely related field from an AACSB accredited program. The ideal candidate for this position will have an active program of research with a demonstrated ability for high quality scholarly publications in journals such as MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, Journal of Management Information Systems (JMIS), and Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS). Preference will be given to candidates who conduct IS research in areas at the intersection of (1) design, implementation, and use of information systems, and (2) business and societal domains of their application, to produce research that can make a difference to theory, practice and/or policy. We are looking for colleagues who will work with a highly active and dynamic group of faculty, and will bring an engaged approach to research vis-à-vis societal and organizational problems. Current faculty members’ interests include topics, such as, but not limited to: information systems such as AI/Algorithms, ranking algorithms, online communities, and social media; domains of application such as cognitive and emotional aspects of IS, online communities and algorithmic work; and methods such as experiments, secondary data analysis, surveys and qualitative data analysis.

Teaching responsibilities will depend on the needs of the department, focused typically on business intelligence, analytics, enterprise systems, and artificial intelligence. Candidates must have expertise or evident potential in providing quality teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Potential or demonstrated ability to teach in both face-to-face and distance education formats to masters-level students with work experience is highly desirable. Potential or demonstrated ability to teach doctoral seminars and mentor doctoral students is also highly desirable.
