The Faculty of Information Technology<https://www.jyu.fi/it/en>, University of Jyvaskyla (Finland), plans to open the position of Assistant/Associate/Full Professor (Tenure Track) of Information Systems in early 2023.
Tasks and qualifications
The faculty has a long tradition in Information Systems (IS) research, especially in IT use, information security management, value creation dynamics, information systems development, technostress, and software business research. The IS faculty members have published many articles in the leading IS journals (e.g., MIS Quarterly). University of Jyvaskyla is among the top IS schools in Europe, according to AIS rankings. Three IS faculty members are listed in so called Stanford University's lists of top 1% most highly cited researchers in the world. Some of our faculty members are also listed on the h-index for MIS scholars (March 2022).
All areas of IS will be considered. The position will strengthen the faculty's research profile especially in digital technologies, innovations and services, and the use and impact of these in organizational and/or consumer contexts, but strong candidates for other areas, such as cyber security and information systems development, will also be taken into account. You have the profile that we are looking for if you carry out high-quality research in IS. For the tenure track levels, we will expect your research results to become visible on the most prestigious publication channels of the field (Assistant Professor) or that you have already been successful in establishing yourself in your area of research (Associate Professor).
Standard teaching load is attractive: two courses per academic year. We expect you to apply external funding, and we offer the necessary administrative and strategic support for it. In this position, the professor is expected to have excellent skills in the English language. The duties, qualification requirements, and language skills of a professor are stipulated by the University of Jyvaskyla Regulations and language skills guidelines<https://www.jyu.fi/en/workwithus/academic-career/qualifications>. According to Finnish law, a non-native faculty member can be granted an exemption from the requirement of Finnish language proficiency.
