level, but the position may be filled at a more senior level for qualified candidates with tenure upon appointment. These positions are part of our overall growth plan of hiring four faculty members in the next few years. Fox MIS at Temple has a bold new vision
and mission (please see below), and we invite colleagues who are interested in this ambitious view of the MIS discipline to join us. We are seeking candidates with a strong record of scholarship or demonstrated ability to publish in premier IS journals, such
as Management Information Systems Quarterly (MISQ) and Information Systems Research (ISR), as well as other top journals in other business disciplines. Salary is competitive and commensurate with rank and qualifications. The positions are subject to final
budgetary approval.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Applications should include a cover letter and (a) full curriculum vitae, (b) a brief statement of current and future research interests, (c) evidence of excellence in research, and (d) the names and contact information of three references.
