The OMIS Department in SCU's Leavey School of Business invites applications for an assistant or associate professor position (tenure-track) that begins Fall 2016 and focuses on business analytics and data science.
We see this specialization as falling at the intersection of business, statistics, management science, and information systems, so applicants should possess a foundation in all these disciplines and deep expertise in one or more. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline (or have completed all required Ph.D. coursework and can provide an estimate of dissertation signoff date).
The position requires teaching at the undergraduate and master's levels (MBA and MS), scholarly research resulting in peer-reviewed publication, and service to the university and profession. Service will include providing curricular leadership for our initiatives in business analytics and data science, which include an MBA concentration and potential undergraduate and MS programs.
SCU is a private Jesuit university located in the heart of Silicon Valley. The Leavey School has a collegial environment and resources to support scholarly research by approximately 75 full-time faculty. The school moved into a new state-of-the-art classroom and office building in the Fall of 2008. We have strong linkages with the high-tech community in the Bay Area. Our MBA program is geared to working professionals who attend classes on evenings and/or weekends, while working nearby during the week for dynamic firms ranging from Fortune-500 size (such as Apple, Cisco, Google, Hewlett-Packard, and Intel) to early-stage startup.
The OMIS Department teaches core and elective courses in our undergraduate business program, evening and weekend MBA programs, Executive MBA program, and MS programs. Our faculty publish in outlets such as Management Science, MSOM, OR, POM, ISR, MISQ, and JMIS, and currently hold or have held senior editorial positions at these leading journals.
Our faculty enjoy many opportunities for interdisciplinary work. The Leavey School is home to the Retail Management Institute (RMI), which engages in research and teaching on the use of consumer information and information technology in multi-channel retailing, as well as the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE). Santa Clara University also includes the Center for Science, Technology & Society (CSTS) and the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, both of which are widely recognized. Our Business Analytics and Data Science programs are interdisciplinary efforts drawing on resources from the OMIS, Economics, Finance, and Marketing departments.
Santa Clara University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer, committed to excellence through diversity and inclusion, and, in this spirit, particularly welcomes applications from women, persons of color, and members of historically underrepresented groups. The University will provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with a disability.
We will evaluate applications in a time frame to interview at the INFORMS annual conference or shortly after by videoconference. We will continue accepting applications until the position is filled.
