*Faculty Position – Tenure Track Assistant Professor *

*Number of Positions:  One*



*Program/Unit Description*:

The University of Minnesota is well known as one of the founding schools
for the MIS discipline and is home to the Management Information Systems
Research Center, the MIS Quarterly, and SOBACO (Social Media and Business
Analytics Collaborative). New faculty hires will benefit from both SOBACO’s
and the MISRC’s research and outreach activities. The department recently
launched a full-time MS-Business Analytics program and has ambitious plans
for expanding this initiative.



The Department has 14 tenured/tenure track faculty. The Department teaches
courses and performs research in all areas of the information systems
discipline including IT/IS in organizations, Economics of IS, Design and
Management of Systems, Individual and Organizational Decision Support,
Knowledge Management, Social Media, and Business Analytics.  There is an
active doctoral program in information systems with 11 students in
residence. Carlson School faculty are among the world’s most prolific; the
latest Academic Rankings of World Universities puts the U of M’s business
and economics faculty 10th in the world in intellectual contributions.  The
IS MBA program is ranked 4th by U.S. News and World Report and the
Undergraduate program is ranked 3rd.  For more information on the
department visit our web pages at www.csom.umn.edu and

*Required and Preferred Qualifications**: *

Entry-level applicants for an Assistant Professor position must have a
strong research program, and an earned doctorate in information systems or
a related field with IS competence or assurance of receiving the doctorate
before August 31, 2015.  If the doctorate is not received by this date, the
appointment may be delayed until completion, or in extraordinary
circumstances we will make the appointment at the rank of Instructor for an
ABD and the ABD hire will have only one semester to complete the doctorate.



Applicants who are already holding an Assistant Professor position at other
research universities must demonstrate an exceptional research trajectory
and a substantial record of high-impact publications as well as excellence
in the classroom.



*Duties and Responsibilities*:

The Assistant Professor position is responsible for carrying out the
teaching, research and service mission of the department. The current
teaching load for research-active faculty is 10 semester credits per
academic year. The teaching assignments will be at both the undergraduate
and graduate level with a mixture of managerial and technical courses. The
Department has a core teaching presence in all programs: undergraduate,
full and part-time MBA, Masters in Business Analytics, and Executive
education. There is also an expectation of advising at the PhD level. On
the research mission, faculty are expected to develop and maintain a strong
research program that contributes to the IS discipline. The chosen
candidate will also be expected to take part in the full range of
Departmental, School, and University service activities commensurate with
