[AISWorld] Visiting Professor Position at Boston College

[Gerald Kane]

Visiting Professor of Information Systems

The Boston College Information Systems Department is seeking applicants for a visiting professor position, beginning September 2016.  While we prefer the visiting position for the entire 2016-2017 academic year, we would consider a qualified candidate for only the fall semester 2016.  While this position does involve teaching responsibility, the ideal candidate would also be interested in and capable of conducting research during the year.  To that end, a research budget (such as to allow conference travel) will be provided with the position.

The University: Boston College is a coeducational university with an average student population of 9,100 undergraduate and 4,500 graduate students, representing every state and more than 85 countries. Founded in 1863, it is one of the oldest Jesuit, Catholic universities in the United States. US News & World Report ranks Boston College 31st among national universities. The University's Carroll School of Management offers nationally ranked undergraduate, full-time MBA and part-time MBA programs.  The school also offers highly regarded degree programs in Finance (MSF and Ph.D.) and Organizational Studies (Ph.D.). Boston College's 150-acre main campus is located in an open suburban setting six miles from downtown Boston. The University's $2.2 billion endowment ranks as one of the nation's 40 largest.

The Position: The position calls for a 2-2 teaching load although there may be flexibility on the teaching load for the right candidate.  The contract is for one year and is not renewable.  Salary and benefits are highly competitive with both tenure-track and non-tenure track positions at other universities. Candidates should be willing and able to teach a core IS class to undergraduates. Information about the IS Department is available at: http://www.bc.edu/schools/csom/departments/informationsystems.html <http://www.bc.edu/schools/csom/departments/informationsystems.html>.

Qualifications: A well-qualified applicant will thoroughly enjoy teaching and possess extensive evidence of teaching excellence at an accredited business school. Opportunities for research overlap with existing is preferred but not required. A Ph.D. in Information Systems or significant industry experience are also both preferred, but not required.

The Carroll School of Management is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and encourages applications from individuals who will expand the ethnic and gender diversity of our faculty. Please submit application in electronic form at http://apply.interfolio.com/34177. Please include a cover letter, a vita, contact information for three references, and evidence of teaching experience or effectiveness.  Questions can be directed by email to Ben Horton at hortonba at bc.edu <mailto:hortonba at bc.edu>.  Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the position is filled and will be reviewed, beginning immediately.
