*Business Informatics Department Chair - Position Announcement *

The Business Informatics department at Northern Kentucky University invites
applications for the position of Department Chair. The new chair will
assume duties by July 1, 2015. The department, formerly the Information
Systems department, is part of the College of Informatics
http://informatics.nku.edu/departments/business-informatics.html). We offer
an AACSB accredited Bachelor of Science degree in Business Informatics and
an AACSB accredited Master of Science degree in Business Informatics (MBI).
We also offer a Master of Science degree in Health Informatics and operate
as the academic home for the Library Informatics program.

The department provides information system based courses in multiple degree
programs for the College of Informatics (most recently the new Data Science
program) along with the College of Health professions and the College of
Business.  Additionally, we have created joint graduate programs with Chase
College of Law.  The College also is home to the departments of Computer
Science and Communication as well as the Center for Applied Informatics. We
have experienced continual growth since the College was created in 2005,
and now enroll over 2,100 students. We moved into our state-of-the-art $52M
new building, Griffin Hall, in 2011.

A successful department chair will promote excellence in teaching and
scholarship, maintain a focus on student success, and encourage
transdisciplinary collaboration, innovative curricula, and experiential
learning, the key hallmarks of the college. The duties of the chair
include: maintenance, development, and evaluation of innovative academic
programs, personnel and budgetary management, responsibilities to students,
mentoring, developing and evaluating faculty in a supportive environment,
and a 1-1 teaching load. In addition, the Chair will work with the Center
for Applied Informatics on developing outreach opportunities. Finally, the
Chair is a member of the College’s Executive Team and reports to the Dean
of the College.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. or DBA in Information Systems or a closely
related field from an AACSB accredited university. The chair will have a
record of effective teaching and scholarly activity appropriate for
appointment to either the Associate or Full Professor level at an AACSB
accredited school, administrative experience in an academic environment,
and effective communication and interpersonal skills. The ability to bring
in external funding is desirable.
