The second consideration is the candidate’s future potential to publish research in leading Information Systems journals. The teaching load is attractive: one to three courses per academic year. Evidence for external research funding, which has led to high quality publications and doctoral theses, is viewed as a merit. Moreover, successful supervision of doctoral students to the completion is also regarded as a merit for the position. The Associate Professor is expected to supervise Master’s and Ph.D. students and co-operate with other faculty members as well as local companies.
