[Petter, Stacie]

The Wake Forest University School of Business is seeking qualified
candidates for an Associate or Full Professor of Business Analytics to
start July 1, 2023. This individual is expected to be a thought leader to
support the Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) Program and
undergraduate and graduate analytics coursework. Candidates with experience
in teaching graduate-level data science courses (e.g., forecasting, data
mining, and machine learning) are of particular interest. The area of
research is open, with preference to the application of analytics to
business problems that have synergies with existing faculty within the
School of Business (e.g., fintech, information systems, marketing,
operations, supply chain, and others). As outlined, significant
publications in the Financial Times 50 journals are a requirement.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. (or its equivalent) in Statistics,
Management Science, or a related field. Evidence of prior teaching
experience effectiveness is expected of candidates. The position offers a
highly competitive package of compensation and benefits.

Wake Forest University has a long tradition of excellence in
market-relevant teaching, and the ideal candidate should demonstrate an
ability to contribute to teaching and scholarship in the School of
Business. The School of Business embraces the teacher-scholar model wherein
our faculty produce original thought leadership that is visible and
positively impacts practice. As a community of teacher-scholars, we
systematically and rigorously seek answers to questions of high
theoretical, practical, and/or pedagogical importance. Thus, equally
important to teaching excellence, candidates’ research should be of the
highest quality, as evidenced by publications that address important issues
in highly regarded outlets, including premier journals (such as those
journals recognized by The Financial Times). Ideal candidates are
accomplished teachers and scholars who have deeply considered the ways in
which their scholarship can improve the practice of global business,
demonstrate marketplace applications, and is in keeping with the
University’s teacher-scholar model.
