Stevenson Chair in Information Technology Position Announcement

The Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University invites applications for the Stevenson Endowed Chair in Information Technology.  The position requires a Ph.D. in MIS or a related field, a strong track record of publications in top journals in the field enabling the person to be appointed to the rank of full professor, evidence of on-going scholarship, experience advising doctoral students, indicators of leadership in the field, and evidence of quality teaching.  The holder of this chair will be expected to take a leadership role in research in the area and the college.

The MIS group is located in the Information Systems & Quantitative Sciences (ISQS) area of the Rawls College of Business.  The MIS group has a long tradition of publishing in top-tier journals in MIS and allied fields. From 2001-2013, the MIS group ranked 48th worldwide for publications in MISQ, ISR, JAIS, and JMIS, and also had publications in top applied psychology journals.  The MIS group has one of the leading scholarship cores in cognitive and neuroscience research and behavioral decision making research in the IS field.  In addition, the ISQS area has world-renowned statisticians who offer excellent quantitative courses.

In addition to ISQS, the college has areas of Finance, Management, Marketing, and Energy Commerce, as well as a School of Accountancy and a program in Health Organization Management.  The MIS area offers an undergraduate degree, a masters degree in Data Science scheduled to start Fall 2015, and a Ph.D. degree.  The college offers undergraduate, Masters of Science, MBA (STEM and Working Professional), and Ph.D. degrees.  The Rawls College of Business is located in a new state-of-the-art building opened in 2012.

The ISQS area includes the Center for Advanced Analytics and Business Intelligence, which is devoted to research on Data Science topics. The Center hosts an annual Symposium on Big Data each spring (see http://zlin.ba.ttu.edu/BigDataSymposium2013.htm).

The business programs at Texas Tech benefit from several advantages not possessed by many locations.  Texas Tech is a comprehensive university that includes a medical school and health sciences center, a school of pharmacy, an engineering college, a law school, an agriculture school, an experimental sciences center, and many other schools and colleges.  Additionally, Texas Tech's location boasts a regional medical hub with two large hospitals and a large healthcare industry, a regional banking hub, a major energy production area (wind and oil-and-gas), and a significant agriculture industry.

Texas Tech University is a Carnegie High Research Activity university with approximately 35,000 students. The university is built in Spanish Renaissance architecture and boasts one of the top university public art collections in the nation, with works from some of the world's leading contemporary artists.

Texas Tech is located in Lubbock, a city of 230,000 in the south plains region of Texas. With a grid-like structure and a superb road and highway system, nearly every point-to-point trip in the city takes 15 minutes or less. The cost of living is low compared with most metropolitan areas in the U.S.  Excellent public and private schools are available. The climate is excellent: Winters are short and relatively mild and summers are sunny with low humidity.

As an Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer, Texas Tech University is dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse faculty committed to teaching and working in a multicultural environment. We actively encourage applications from all those who can contribute, through their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community at Texas Tech University.
