Tracking Code9993/H0218 Job Description

The Questrom School of Business at Boston University anticipates an opening for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Marketing with a focus in customer analytics and a deep emphasis on retailing topics. The anticipated start date for this faculty position is July 1, 2019. While preference will be given to advanced Assistant Professors (who have an established publication record), we will also consider rookies.

The Questrom School of Business is building a strong group of faculty with expertise in all aspects of marketing, data science, and analytics. Multiple hires represent a strategic focus for the School and are intended to fuel cross-departmental and cross-university research initiatives in analytics and data science, and support the Fall 2019 launch of our Master of Science in Business Analytics.

We seek outstanding candidates who would be comfortable in, stimulated by, and engage with the vibrant cross-disciplinary community that is data science and that are interested in applying data science approaches to understanding and improving omni-channel marketing, customer relationship management and retailing issues in particular. Prospective candidates must have demonstrated the ability to produce original and innovative scholarly work of the highest possible quality with impact in the top academic journals. Faculty will be expected to teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses in analytics, particularly courses with a retailing focus, and contribute to cross-disciplinary curriculum development activities: special consideration for those with experience in the classroom will be given. Candidates with ties to retail industry and access to datasets will have an advantage. The Questrom School of Business offers generous research and teaching support.

The Marketing department believes that the cultural and social diversity of our faculty, staff, and students is vitally important to the distinction and excellence of our research and academic programs. To that, we are especially eager to have join our ranks a colleague who supports our institutional commitment to ensuring BU is inclusive, equitable, diverse, and a place where all constituents can thrive. The Questrom School of Business seeks to continue diversifying our faculty, student and staff ranks, recognizing that diversity of experience and thought deepens the intellectual endeavor. Boston University is an institution with a rich tradition dedicated to inclusion and social justice. We are proud that we were the first American University to award a Ph.D. to a woman and of our record of inclusiveness.
