INFORMATION SYSTEMS TENURE TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS AVAILABLE
in Information Systems and Management (IS&M)

We are interested in hiring at the Associate and Assistant Professor levels. Candidates may be experienced faculty, or applied technology researchers in a research-focused organization or agency. New PhDs will be considered for the Assistant Professor position.
Requirements. Successful applicants should demonstrate: (1) evidence of an established and innovative research program, targeted at the top journals, that emphasizes some aspect of IS&M in the interdisciplinary context; (2) a commitment and competency to teach topics involving IS, management and analytics; and (3) completion of a PhD degree.
Interdisciplinarity. We welcome applications from multiple disciplines that touch on IS&M. They include: Information Systems, Applied Economics, Engineering and Technology Policy, Public Affairs, Applied Statistics, Media Studies, Machine Learning, and Computer Science. Applicants may have single or interdisciplinary backgrounds. We seek candidates with knowledge of data analytics for social media data mining, microeconomics and digital business, and statistics, computational marketing or experimental social science.
Singapore Management University (SMU). The University was founded in 2000. Its mission, beyond research and the creation of new managerial knowledge, is to produce leaders and creative entrepreneurs capable of excelling in a rapidly changing and dynamic world. SMU was Singapore’s first publicly-funded autonomous university, and first in Singapore to be based on the American university model for research, education and internal governance. SMU maintains strong partnerships with Wharton at the University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University, and is building relationships with other leading universities worldwide. The early partnerships helped SMU to build distinctive institutional capabilities. As a university centred on business and management, SMU is fortunate to occupy a state-of-the-art campus in the heart of Singapore’s civic, cultural and business district.
School of Information Systems (SIS). The School is the only academic unit within SMU that is classified under Singapore’s Science and Technology Cluster of academic units, and thus it is eligible for Singapore Government funding targeted for Science and Technology-based university programmes and research institutes. SIS faculty possess deep technology-based research capabilities in selected areas of IT, systems and applications. SIS also has faculty who investigate managerial and business impacts of IT in firms, across collaboration networks and value chains, and in markets and industries.
Research at SMU and SIS. SMU has identified three Areas of Excellence for development and expansion: (1) Analytics for Business, Consumer and Social Insights; (2) Financial Markets and Institutions; and (3) and Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The Living Analytics Research Centre (LARC), a joint effort founded in 2011 in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University, is an example of how SMU is building new capabilities. It focuses on closed-loop experimental research for near real-time applications in network-centric settings with societal-scale data. In 2012, SMU launched the LiveLabs Urban Lifestyle Innovation Platform (LiveLabs at SG) to provide a test bed to create and evaluate innovative context-aware applications and services that intelligently adapt to the daily lifestyle patterns of people.
A key ingredient for the success of these initiatives is to reach across disciplines and create new capabilities for research involving computational social science.
The IS&M group. IS&M has five tenure track research faculty with doctoral degrees from UT Austin, Carnegie Mellon, Rochester and Harvard. It has other practice faculty and education faculty who support our educational and outreach missions. The main areas of coverage of IS&M are: IS in organizations; economics of IS; technology strategy, innovation and design; IT services; and technology, consumers and markets. Arrayed around the IS&M group are four other groups of faculty: Data Management and Analytics; Information Security and Trust; Intelligent Systems and Decision Analytics; and Software Systems. These competencies permit us to do research on human-computer interaction and outsourcing, autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, data security and information privacy, and data mining for text, social media, and spatial data analytics, based on expertise available from other faculty whose doctorates are in Computer Science.
