The Management Information Systems (MIS) department in the Fowler College of Business at San Diego State University (SDSU) invites applications for a tenure-track position in Management Information Systems at the assistant professor level. The appointment will begin in August 2023 and is contingent on state funding. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. We are seeking candidates with teaching and research interest in the application of advanced analytics to evaluate and increase the resiliency, sustainability, and security of supply chains.

The person holding this position will be responsible for developing and teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in all aspects of supply chain management, including analytics, sourcing, operations, logistics, enterprise systems, and risk management, etc. Qualified applicants will have a doctoral-level degree in supply chain or a related discipline by August 2023, demonstrated potential for teaching excellence, and high-quality research commensurate with experience.

The MIS department is a multidisciplinary department with twelve full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty members in the areas of information systems, data science, cybersecurity, and supply chain management. MIS is striving to become a recognized grant-funded research program. MIS faculty are active in high-impact research and engaged in grant-funded research supported by the US Navy, US Air Force, US Department of Homeland Security, and US Department of Education. Recent accomplishments in cybersecurity include cyber threat intelligence and anti-ransomware systems development projects funded by the US Navy and US Air Force respectively. The US Department of Homeland Security has funded a project to develop an Augmented Reality (AR) system to strengthen border security and counterterrorism efforts. Faculty are involved in US Navy projects to develop smart equipment maintenance systems powered by advanced artificial intelligence and natural language processing. Also, efforts to deliver elite K-12 distance education to geographically isolated and traditionally underserved populations were funded by the US Department of Education. The newly announced SDSU AI Center, created by the MIS department and funded by $5.25 million endowment, has been central to the department's drive to develop an active grant-funded research program. MIS faculty publish in leading journals such as MISQ, JMIS, JAIS, EJIS, DSS, IEEE Transactions, Decision Sciences, and Journal of Econometrics.

The MIS department offers the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) - Information Systems Major, Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS), Master of Science in Cybersecurity Management (MSCM) and MBA specializations in supply-chain management, information systems, and project management. A new MS in Supply Chain Innovation as a STEM degree has been proposed and is expected to launch in Fall 2023.
