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.
