[AISWorld] Tenure track position in Business Data Analytics (Tampere University of Technology Finland)

[Samuli Pekkola]

Tampere University of Technology (TUT) has an open tenure track position in Business Data Analytics.

We are broadly interested in candidates who complement our current expertise and activities in the fields of  information and knowledge management, information systems, or industrial management. We are interested in candidates with an understanding of both the business domain and the methods and tools of data analytics. Candidates with expertise in only one of these areas do not fulfil the requirements of the position. However, we have no preferences for the candidates' business domain, methodological stance (such as hypothesis-driven vs. data-driven research), or their approach towards data analytics.

The candidates' research may explore several different perspectives on data analytics in a business context. We are especially looking for candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- data-based value creation
- data-based decision making
- tools and methods of data analysis for collecting, analyzing and visualizing data and for supporting decision-making
- tools and methods for intelligent business data analysis
- data governance in business and for business data (including data cleaning, quality improvement, data processes, etc.)
- visualization of business data
- software applications for data analysis in a business context.

The position will be filled at the level of Assistant Professor (1st term or 2nd term) or Associate Professor.
