[AISWorld] HI faculty opportunity

[Kevin Parker]

We have openings for two Health Informatics positions in our Master of 
Science and our BBA programs in Health Informatics.

We are especially interested in faculty members with real world 
experience interacting with healthcare professionals. New faculty 
members will teach Health Informatics courses at both the undergraduate 
and graduate level, teach some of our basic Informatics courses, help 
build and promote our HI programs, and produce research publications in 
HI. Those interested in our program evolution can find details in the 
paper at this link: http://rdcu.be/odgN

We have a very collegial environment in which everyone is expected to 
contribute, but we take great pains to try to keep anyone from getting 
overburdened. We place equal emphasis on teaching and on research, but 
good teaching is critical. Service, as it pertains to helping to 
establish our HI programs, is also a critical need. But again, we try to 
ensure no one is spread too thin. We have a very supportive dean who is 
part of the Informatics faculty, and the Provost and President take an 
active interest in our HI programs.

I'll provide posting details below, and you can apply via the button at
