   ROLE of the POSITION

   The MET Department invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant
   Professor of Business Analytics to begin in Fall 2022. This position is
   part of the “Ubiquitous Data” cluster, which the university recently

   the UNLV School of Medicine and CEPH accreditation of the School of Public
   Heath also provide exciting opportunities for high quality, collaborative
   research and grant seeking on analytics/data-focused, healthcare-related
   topics. The successful candidate will also enhance the department’s
   teaching capabilities in business analytics and technical areas, and will
   be expected to teach as needed in the various graduate and undergraduate IS
