Candidates should demonstrate excellence in undergraduate teaching of business analytics to a diverse student body. The successful candidate will develop a strong body of research in their area of specialization.
The candidate should be willing and able to teach undergraduate courses in introductory business analytics, prescriptive analytics and predictive analytics in addition to courses in the candidate's area of scholarly interest and background.
