budgetary approval, Georgia State University anticipates hiring for
multiple tenure-track positions at the rank of Assistant Professor
effective Fall 2017. These positions are part of GSU’s strategic initiative
to lead in the application of big data analytics to problem domains that

Sciences. The hiring plan is to recruit multiple faculty who will add depth
and breadth in the area of unstructured data analytics including the
processing and analysis of text, audio, video, and image data and the use
of this data to derive insights about digital innovation in high-impact
problem domains that complement understanding that may be derived from
other types of data. The recruited faculty will contribute to
interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research on digital innovation to
solve business and societal problems through the use of unstructured data
analytics. This advertisement is for a tenure-track Assistant Professor

by US News & World Report. Additionally, the department consistently ranks
among the top 5 in terms of research productivity based on publications in
MIS Quarterly and Information Systems Research. The Robinson College of
Business has placed a strategic emphasis on the area of analytics. This is
reflected in the College’s Institute for Insight (http://insight.gsu.edu/)
which has established industry partnerships to solve business-relevant
problems, invested in faculty with a diverse set of analytics skills
related to structured and unstructured data, and launched a Master of
Science in Analytics program. Applicants must have (1) technical and
methodological expertise related to unstructured data analytics (e.g.,
analytics related to unstructured data flows from sensor networks, internet
of things, GPS, social media as well as text, images, audio, and video
content), (2) expertise to apply unstructured data analytics to investigate
how digital innovation can provide insights into problems in business and
other domains, and (3) the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams. They
must have an established record of scholarship that has resulted in, and
will continue to result in, publications in premier scholarly journals in
information systems as well as in widely regarded premier journals of other
business and related disciplines. Applicants must have a PhD degree in a
big data analytics-related discipline (e.g., information systems, computer
science, engineering, or related disciplines) from an AACSB accredited
university. They must also have strong evidence of teaching effectiveness
at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition to holding a faculty
appointment in the CIS Department, the faculty member will be a member of
