[AISWorld] Tenure-Track Assistant Professor Position in MIS @ The University of Dayton

[Donald Wynn]

The Department of Management Information Systems, Operations & Supply Chain
Management, and Business Analytics offers undergraduate majors and minors
in MIS, Business Analytics, and Operations and Supply Management (OSC) as
well as a master’s degree in Business Analytics. We also offer MBA
certificates in Business Analytics, Business Intelligence, Business Systems
Development, Cyber Security Management, and Project Management, and
additional undergraduate minors in Business Analytics, Business
Intelligence, and Cyber Security Management. The Department also supports
business undergraduates and graduate students with courses in MIS, OSC,
Business Analytics, and Statistics. Core MIS major requirements include
systems analysis and design, project management, database management, and
application development. A distinctive feature of the undergraduate MIS
major is a two semester, applied capstone sequence wherein students develop
useful IS solutions for local business organizations. The curriculum is
designed to facilitate double majors. Historically, our graduates have been
very well placed in the job market in large and small organizations, both
in the Dayton region and nationally.

The Department faculty are well known for their research, teaching, and
professional service. Faculty accomplishments include publishing numerous
articles in major academic journals and serving in editorial positions of
leading academic journals and as key officers in major professional
organizations. An MIS Advisory Board, composed of senior MIS executives
from local and national organizations, regularly interacts with the
Department faculty and students and provides guidance in areas such as
curriculum development, research activities, and student employment. The
MIS Advisory Board is also a valuable source of student projects and guest
speakers in courses. An MIS Distinguished Speaker series invites at least
one highly-accomplished scholar in the MIS arena to visit the Department
every year. The Department has a similar advisory board and speaker series
in Operations Management.

The University of Dayton, founded in 1850 by the Society of Mary, is a top

In support of this commitment, the University is pleased to provide support
for spouses of prospective and newly hired faculty. The dual career program
serves as a resource and support system and is not intended to take the
place of one’s job search efforts.

The opening is for a tenure-track position specializing in Management
Information Systems (MIS) at the rank of Assistant Professor. The expected
