The Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University invites
applications and nominations for a tenure track faculty position in the
area of Big Data, effective Fall 2014 or later. The position is for
tenure-eligible applicants at Associate or Full Professor-levels with
established Big Data research programs addressing disciplinary and
interdisciplinary business problems. This position is part of Georgia State
University’s (GSU) Second Century Initiative (http://secondcentury.gsu.edu)
to recruit up to three outstanding Big Data faculty in the following
problem domains: business, geosciences, and disease modeling. A number of
GSU units will support the hired individuals to drive a broad vision for
interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research.

Minimum requirements for the Big Data position in business are an earned
Ph.D. in a business or related discipline from an AACSB accredited
university or international equivalent, a record of scholarly publications
demonstrating expertise in Big Data commensurate with rank, evidence of
external funding commensurate with the candidate’s discipline, and a
demonstrated ability of teaching.

The ideal candidates will have significant academic experience and have
accumulated an outstanding record of research accomplishments in their
discipline. The successful candidate will have a deep understanding of the
application of information technologies and cutting-edge techniques
relevant to use structured and unstructured data to derive intelligence
that can happen in a number of relevant domains. As a result, the
successful candidate’s tenure home could be in one of several departments
and could be structured with a secondary appointment elsewhere within the
college or the university.

Successful candidates will have a record of prior publications and a strong
trajectory of future publications in widely regarded premier journals in
business and related disciplines. Ideal candidates will also have
complementary skills to enhance the quality of the college’s Ph.D. programs
and teaching capabilities that include executive graduate programs (e.g.,
specialized masters programs as well as college-wide interdisciplinary
programs in analytics). They will be able to provide leadership for the
college’s Big Data research and teaching initiatives and will also have the
ability and desire to promote interdisciplinary research on the application
of Big Data technologies and modeling techniques at the interstice of
disciplines.
