[Annette Mills]

The Information Systems group at the University of Canterbury is seeking a visitor in the 2017 academic year.  Preference will be given to persons who can teach into a Masters-level course on IT Risk and Security Management. This course is being offered as an elective in our Master of Business Information Systems and is expected to run for ~9 weeks from 9 October – 10 December 2017.
The successful applicant would be invited as an Erskine Fellow to the School of Business and Law.  Please note that all Erskine Programme Fellowships are primarily teaching Fellowships, and will include undergraduate teaching where possible. The visitor will be expected to make a contribution to teaching and research in the IS group.  This may take various forms, for example, seminar presentations, research workshops, graduate seminars, teaching in graduate/undergraduate courses, and research collaboration with staff.  In some years, there may also be an opportunity for the successful Erskine fellow to offer a short course, graduate seminar or workshop tailored to one's interests and expertise.
To be eligible for an Erskine Fellowship, interested persons must hold the position of full professor or associate professor (or equivalent), and have a well-established research record as evidenced by papers in top journals.
The Erskine fellowship provides accommodation, a daily allowance and return airfares.  Return airfares may also be available for a spouse or partner (conditions apply).  For more information about the Erskine program see http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/erskine/

The Department of Accounting and Information Systems (ACIS) currently has 17 academic staff, including 5 staff in the IS group. Over the past few years we have experienced growth in the number of students and currently we have over 1,100 undergraduate students in ACIS, and a relatively small number of postgraduate students.  For more information about our courses and the department, see http://www.acis.canterbury.ac.nz/

The University is situated in Christchurch, which is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand.   It is a city with excellent facilities and a relaxed lifestyle.   Christchurch is near the sea and the Southern Alps, where some of New Zealand's finest ski-fields are found.   The quality of life is high, and at a reasonable cost.
Christchurch has a growing economy, with considerable strength in the IT sector.
