[AISWorld] MIT CISR Research Scientist Position

[Anne Quaadgras]

MIT Sloan’s Center for Information Systems Research (MIT CISR) is looking
for a research scientist to conduct practice-based research on digital
strategy and the management and value of IT. This position also involves
recruiting and managing sponsor relationships, and presenting to executive
audiences. MIT CISR research scientists participate on research teams doing
rigorous research on topics such as the business value of IT, IT-enabled
business innovation and agility, knowledge management, enterprise
architecture, IT leadership models, IT governance, social media, business
analytics, the mobile workforce, and digital business models. Research areas
must address issues of interest to senior level executives of large
organizations. This position is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts but
research scientists can work part of the year outside the U.S., in Brazil or
Europe. Some research-related travel is required.


*Qualifications:* Candidates should possess a Ph.D. in IT management or a
related field. Research experience in developing concepts and frameworks
that can help executives better understand how to use, manage, and implement
information technology is extremely important. Executive experience in IT
management or consulting is desirable. The ideal candidate will also have
experience with client or sponsor relationship management and a good
publication record. The candidate must be capable of working both
independently and as a member of a research team. Excellent English
interpersonal and writing skills are required. Demonstrated potential to
excel in presenting research ideas to executives is also required. This
position is a 2-year appointment with possible extension.

of references, and a cover letter describing research and career interests
to both Jeanne and Peter. Deadline is March 1.
