The Department of Data Sciences and Operations at the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California (USC) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Information Systems beginning Fall 2014. We expect to hire at the senior Assistant Professor level (but Associate Professor or Junior Assistant level appointments may be possible for outstanding candidates). Preference will be given to candidates who have had their PhDs for a few years and already have a strong record of scholarship and demonstrated ability to publish in top research journals. We would expect them to work on topics related to the transformational issues of the digital economy. We would especially welcome scholars researching sociotechnical infrastructures for digital transformation and digital business strategy, such as incentive structures, technical features of decision making tools, organizational structures, or policies and processes for encouraging the use of data analytics in decision-making at all levels in the organization and the organization’s ecosystem. On the teaching side, candidates will be expected to strive for teaching excellence in the master’s and/or undergraduate programs.



The Department of Data Sciences and Operations is home to scholars working in operations management, statistics, and information systems. Our operations scholars develop models for efficient management of production, distribution, and other firm processes, and have recently begun developing approaches based on large data sets and machine learning. Our statistics scholars comprise one of the leading groups of experts in higher dimensional statistics. Our information systems scholars focus on digital business strategy in dynamic environments, digital transformation of organizations and teams, as well as collaborative communities and business ecosystems. USC is a world leader in digital media, informatics, and communication, and in September 2013 announced a $1billion initiative in Informatics and Digital Knowledge.
