[Aretha Wright]

The Department of Management Information Systems in the Terry College of Business at The University of Georgia invites applications for a tenure-track assistant, associate, or full professor position beginning August 2017.

Candidates applying for an Assistant Professor position should have (or be expected to have, by summer 2017) a Ph.D. in Information Systems or a related discipline from an AACSB accredited university or international equivalent. All other candidates must already hold that PhD.  Candidates will be considered for an Assistant, Associate or Full Professor rank based on having a research record commensurate with that rank, a strong trajectory for future top-tier publications, and demonstrated excellence in teaching Information Systems at the graduate and/or undergraduate level.

The Management Information Systems Department offers the following degrees: Ph.D., Master of Internet Technology, and BBA in MIS. In addition, the Terry College of Business offers an on-campus MBA degree, along with off-campus Executive MBA degrees. A Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) is expected to be offered on campus starting Fall 2017. The MIS Department has a strong tradition in behavioral information systems research (using a wide range of methodologies and data analysis methods) with a current focus on innovative topics including energy informatics, healthcare informatics, social media, IT strategy, IT governance, and digital platforms and infrastructures.

The Management Information Systems Department is consistently ranked very highly nationally and internationally for both its programs and its scholarly productivity. For example, the most recent ranking of USA Today College (2016) ranks the undergraduate MIS program 8th in the nation. On the research front, the UT Dallas ranking of research productivity ranks the University of Georgia 8th in North America for overall research in MIS Quarterly and Information Systems Research. Faculty hold editorial positions at the premier information systems journals, and current and emeritus faculty include multiple AIS Fellows and an AIS Leo Award winner.

The University of Georgia is the State of Georgia's flagship university, located in historic Athens, sixty miles from Atlanta.  Athens is well known for its quality of life including dining, entertainment and the arts, and outdoor activities.
