[AISWorld] UNLV positions in MIS - Assistant/Associate Professor

[Marcus Rothenberger]

The Department of Management, Entrepreneurship, and Technology at the Lee
Business School of the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) announces two
full time tenure track positions in MIS beginning August 2012, targeted at
the assistant or associate professor level. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in
Management Information Systems or a closely related area, a strong research
portfolio, and demonstrated teaching ability. For the two positions,
specialties in Software/Application Development and Databases/Business
Intelligence are desirable.  Job duties include research that leads to
publications in top-tier academic journals and teaching in our
undergraduate and graduate programs.



*The University and the Department *



UNLV is Nevada's largest comprehensive, doctoral degree granting
institution with 28,000 students. It provides offers more than 220
undergraduate, master’s and doctoral degree programs for a diverse student
body and encourages innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to
teaching, learning and scholarship. UNLV is located on a 350-acrre campus.
For more information, see the UNLV World Wide Web site at:
http://www.unlv.edu.  The department of Management, Entrepreneurship, and
Technology is newly formed as a merger of the Departments of Management and
MIS. Both departments have a strong research culture and their members
believe in high quality research. They have published and are expected to
publish regularly in the highest quality journals. Research interests of
current members in the MIS area include requirements engineering, software
development processes, security, human-computer interaction,
technology-mediated decision making, and IT success, using qualitative,
quantitative, and design science research methods.



*The Community *



The Las Vegas metropolitan area is culturally diverse with a population of
two million people. It is considered a very attractive city in which to
live, with many quiet, new, and beautifully designed neighborhoods. It is
surrounded by a rich topographical tableau that includes, within an
afternoon's drive, the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Hoover Dam, snowcapped
mountains, Zion National Park, and Disneyland. Tijuana, Mexico, Napa
Valley, Yosemite National Park, and the Rocky Mountains lie within a day's
drive. Las Vegas residents enjoy a modest cost of living, compared with
those in major coastal cities. UNLV employees enjoy a very low tax
environment that includes no state or local income taxes and no federal
social security retirement taxes. The climate is sub-tropical desert.



*Initial Interviews*



We will be attending the ICIS 2011 conference in Shanghai to discuss this
opening with selected applicants. Selected applicants who are not attending
ICIS will be interviewed shortly thereafter, likely through the use of
video conferencing technology.
