MIS will use the Association for Information Systems’ listserve
aisworld at lists.aisnet.org. That’s the most frequented and popular place
for MIS academic job postings.

Hi all,
For MKT we would normally hit the following:
- ELMAR (Listserv managed by the American Marketing Association that
curates job postings and drops them every Wednesday AM)
- This is the class place everyone in MKT looks for jobs
- MarketingPhDJobs.com
- This is the emerging site for all posts (particularly those that
include assistant possibilities.
- They aggregate posts from a variety of sources and we can post
directly too
- The we would hit stuff like Chronicle or HigherEdJobs, etc.

I think dropping the language specifically about the assistant professor
would be a wise move. We could still post it as open rank and if there is a
senior assistant who has had recent funding success, then we could still
consider them. Deleting the one sentence specific to the assistant
professor changes the bar from potential to documented success, which seems
to be what the Provost is looking for.

*Subject:* Re: New Cyber Security position
I am reviewing the posting one last time, and have a suggested
modification. Given that we are charged with hiring someone with an
established record of funded research, I believe it is very unlikely that a
successful candidate will be at the assistant prof rank. I will keep the
Assistant Prof language in if you think differently. Let me know - should
be able to submit to HR this afternoon.

I think the general ad looks great. I added an “s” and that was it. I
tracked the change in case that is a faulty addition!
The Econ and Accounting postings look clean and routine too from my
perspective.

Hi again everyone. Thought I would follow-up with everyone as a reminder of
first steps in the search process.
Recall, we have a Dropbox folder we are sharing to place your specific
disciplines’ announcements for the position. I have drafted one for MIS and
placed it in there. If you need to be resent the invitation to join the
Dropbox folder, please let me know.
Joanne, can you update us on the status of the official position
announcement and when it might be posted to https://facultyjobs.ua.edu?
I’m holding off on posting the position announcement or sending it around
to potential applicants until the job has been officially posted. That may
be true for everyone. I am, however, having some informal conversations
with some highly qualified individuals just to get them thinking about it.
Thank you everyone. Please update us all as you can with your respective
position announcement drafts.
Regards,
Allen

Hi everyone, thank you for attending today’s search committee kick off
meeting. You should be receiving an invitation to join a Dropbox share.
In it, I have put a draft of an announcement for an MIS oriented person. I
made comments where I think the announcement is specific to that sort of
person. I decided not to put language in it about the potential for
endowed support, but I do plan to mention it on my personal calls to
potential applicants.
So, as a next step, let’s see what Joanne’s office can craft for an
official announcement for HR and once the position is listed at
https://facultyjobs.ua.edu, I think we should be good to go for posting our
various versions on our respective outlets. In the meantime, I think we
can all reach out to some people we have in mind and give them a heads-up
about what’s coming.
In case you didn’t get notes written down, I’ll share mine below.
Thank you,
Allen
*Allen’s Notes*
- First and foremost identify and recruit funded research persons
- Look across all of our disciplines
- Rank is open
Process
- Must be tenured or tenurable within a specific department
- Round one – leadership screening via Zoom
- Round two – campus visit – co-hosted by cyber group and associated
department
- Budget – find 3 or 4 good candidates – if one is head and shoulders
above the others, then let’s bring in top candidate first
Salary range – around $250k to $280k; not necessarily with a title; Hewson
fellow is possible. Professorship and Chairs are harder to come by.

Hi everyone, based on the doodle poll results, Tuesday, October 12th at
10am – 11am is our best time to meet.
B.C., I can follow-up with you afterwards with notes and next steps.
I propose that we meet via Zoom just in case there are a few of us that
aren’t able to be on campus at that time.
I’ll send a follow-up calendar invite with the Zoom link to the meeting.
Thank you,

the college.
Kay requests that the seven of you serve as the search committee, with

off the search process.
Please let me know if you have any concerns about driving this important
search effort.
Thank you -
