[AISWorld] *Seeking Post-Doc: Information Systems Program - Carnegie Mellon Qatar*

[liginlal]

The Information Systems Program in Carnegie Mellon University at Qatar 
invites applications for a post doctoral position. This is a one-year 
renewable position, subject to appropriate performance.

The post-doc will be conducting research with Professor Selma Limam 
Mansar (view bio: http://www.qatar.cmu.edu/directory/view/103) and 
should have an interest in the area of healthcare informatics or 
information systems with an emphasis on mobile technologies. Prior 
involvement in similar fields is desirable. A current research project 
involves the development of a comprehensive obesity management program 
that triggers weight loss and effective behavioral changes and is 
reinforced through mobile and online technology support for users 
(overweight or obese patients) and their mentors (dieticians and 
clinicians). The technology solution supports an efficient workflow 
process and data exchange between users and mentors and the healthcare 
institution.

The position will also involve some support for information systems core 
courses (but no more than a third of the time).

The position comes with competitive salaries (aligned with western job 
market salaries) and benefits, including a foreign service premium (25% 
of base salary), health care coverage, and allowances for housing and 
transportation.

Review of applications will begin immediately, and will be accepted 
through May 2011, or until the position has been filled. POSITION CAN 
BEGIN AS SOON AS INTERVIEWS ARE COMPLETED AND CONTRACTS ISSUED.

Further details of the position and link to submitting applications are 
available at: http://qatar.cmu.edu/is/positions
