Current faculty have research interests related to IT innovation, E-business, social media and social networks, business analytics, healthcare IT, IT security and privacy, and human computer interfaces. We seek individuals who can complement and strengthen the research focus of our group, while adding to the atmosphere of collegiality and openness to collaboration. We offer a stimulating environment, an exceptional student body, an active and responsive alumni base, and close ties to the Boston business and academic communities.

Qualifications: Ph.D. in Information Systems or related discipline, a demonstrated ability to conduct “A” journal quality research, and evidence of teaching excellence (or the ability to develop such excellence).
