MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

December 15, 1999 Dalhousie- Assistant/Associate Professor, Information Systems

Dalhousie School of Business Administration has two tenure track positions open in MIS. We are looking for senior assistant or junior associate professors. Our critical mass needs are in organizational knowledge management. We believe that Data Mining will lead to an explosion of knowledge development. This will dictate the overdue attention to organizational knowledge management that has been simmering on the back burner for twenty plus years.

The School of Business Administration (SBA) has an enrolment of 900 undergraduate (co-operative) students and 200 resident MBAs. In partnership with The Institute of Canadian Bankers the SBA delivers an MBA (FS) program through distance education to 250 students. A similar distance education MBA (IT) in partnership with Information Technology Institute has just accepted its first class. The SBA offers general and specialized courses in information systems in all degree programs.

Dalhousie School of Business Administration is one of four schools in the Faculty of Management (the others are: School of Public Administration, School of Library and Information Studies, and School of Resource and Environmental Studies).

The Faculty of Management has two associate chairs and one full chair in Informatics and is a partner with Faculty of Computer Science and Faculty of Law to deliver the first G7 approved interdisciplinary Master of Electronic Commerce.

Halifax has six universities, a growing IT sector, and numerous easily accessible cultural and outdoor activities. Further information on the University, the Faculty of Management, and the SBA can be found on the world wide web at www.mgmt.dal.ca .

The appointments will be effective 1 July 2000. Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant discipline.
