*Description*

Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar invites applications for one
postdoctoral position in our top-ranked Information Systems program. This
position is designed for candidates who are interested in enhancing their

The position is available for one year, with the possibility of renewal for
up to two additional years based on performance and organizational needs.

As a Postdoctoral Fellow in Information Systems, responsibilities will

our educational mission. Successful candidates are also expected to manage
and grow their own research agenda potentially in collaboration with CMU-Q
faculty and/or local partners.

The Information Systems Program at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar
offers an undergraduate major which aims to educate local and international
students to meet the increasing demand for information systems skills in
Qatar, the Gulf region, and globally. For more information on our
Information Systems program, visit (1) IS program at CMU–Qatar

Systems Fundamentals, Systems Design and Development, Artificial
Intelligence, Data Science, or Digital Innovation. Outstanding candidates
in other areas are also encouraged to apply. CMU Qatar's benefits package
is highly attractive, with salaries comparable to those in the US, but

*About CMU in Qatar*

CMU in Qatar (CMUQ) operates in concert with several other American and
European branch campuses under the umbrella of Qatar Foundation’s Education
City (https://www.qf.org.qa/education/education-city). The branch campus
closely follows the admissions requirements and English language curriculum
of the home campus in Pittsburgh, USA which awards all degrees. The several
thousand students in the Education City are a broad mix of nationalities,

undergraduate education in Business Administration, Biological Sciences,
Computer Science, and Information Systems.
