*ABOUT the COMMUNITY*

UNLV is located in the vibrant and growing city of Las Vegas, a
metropolitan area that boasts one of the most connected airports in the
world. Las Vegas hosts over 41 million tourists per year, accommodates over
22,000 conventions and is home to fifteen of the world’s 25 largest hotels.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan area has a population of over 2.1 million people
yet has a relatively low cost of living compared to other metropolitan
areas of its size. With the addition of the Golden Knights hockey team, and
the move of the Raiders to Las Vegas, the city now has three major-league
professional sports teams. Referred to as the “Entertainment Capital of the
World”, very few cities can compete with the number, size, and quality of
conventions, events, concerts, and shows that Las Vegas hosts. With the
opening of the Smith Center for Performing Arts, Las Vegas now offers some
of the world’s finest Broadway shows and concerts.  The Las Vegas dining
culture is world-class, and includes restaurants run by well-known chefs
such as Gordon Ramsey, Bobby Flay, Wolfgang Puck, and Emeril Lagasse. Las
Vegas also offers a shopping experience that rivals other destinations in
the world.

This position requires an Information Systems (IS)-related master’s degree
from an accredited college or university recognized by the United States
Department of Education or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation

successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to excellence in
teaching and experience in teaching IS courses ideally supported by
teaching evaluations. The selected candidate must be eligible to legally

*PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS*

An applicant with an IS-related PhD degree will receive preference. Prior

Lecturer. A candidate with only a master’s degree but without substantial
experience is eligible for the title of Lecturer. All but Dissertation
