Tenure Track

Qualified applicants must hold a Ph.D. in information systems or a closely related discipline from an AACSB accredited institution or international equivalent

The Department of Management Information Systems in the Terry College of Business at The University of Georgia invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position. The position will begin in the fall semester of 2024, with an anticipated employment start date of August 1, 2024.

Recent manufacturing investments in Georgia by leading electric mobility firms include SK Battery, Hyundai, and Rivian. As of April 2023, Georgia attracted 35 EV-related projects with a total investment of $23 billion. This has created many opportunities to establish a global hub in electric mobility at UGA. The transition to EVs is accompanied by the emergence of connected vehicles and a wealth of data about a vehicle’s state, road conditions, highway demand, EV travel patterns, and EV charging requirements. These data provide opportunities to improve vehicle performance, identify road maintenance problems, reduce highway congestion, optimize the timing, placement, and maintenance of EV charging hubs.

The position is part of a university-wide presidential cluster hiring initiative to create 10 positions to develop UGA’s research program on electric mobility (https://news.uga.edu/electric-mobility-initiative-taps-into-evolving-tech-field/).

Evidence of potential for excellence in teaching is also desirable.
