Department Chair, Department of Decision and Technology Analytics





The College of Business at Lehigh University invites applications and
nominations for the position of Chair of the Department of Decision and
Technology Analytics (DATA), starting in Fall 2020.  We seek a
high-profile, accomplished researcher in information systems who is a
dynamic leader with a vision to lead the department in expanding its
research and program efforts and in providing mentorship and guidance to
the faculty.

The new formed department, which was originally part of the Department of
Management, has eight tenured or tenure-track faculty members and three
Professors of Practice in information systems (IS) and supply chain
management (SCM).  The successful candidate will be joining faculty in the
department who publish in top-ranked journals in both IS and SCM fields.
The department offers majors and minors in both business information
systems and supply chain management, as well as certificates in business
analytics (jointly with Department of Marketing) and FinTech (jointly with
Department of Finance), all of which have been fast growing and currently
have about 270 students in total. The department also supports numerous
undergraduate core courses and graduate programs (e.g., MBA and M.S. in
Management), and the Center for Supply Chain Research at Lehigh, which
fosters industry support and research on supply chain management.

Lehigh University is in Bethlehem, PA, in the rapidly growing Lehigh Valley
metropolitan area.  The Lehigh Valley, with a population over 800,000, is
located approximately 1 hour north of Philadelphia and 1.5 hours west of
New York City.  The University has a current enrollment of approximately
5,000 undergraduate students and 2,000 graduate students, and is planning
to increase these enrollments in the next few years.  Lehigh is investing
substantially in new innovative research and academic programs to enhance
its intellectual footprint.  These investments, based on faculty-driven
initiatives, will advance the University’s commitment to research and to
enhance student experiences.

The university welcomes applications from, and nominations for, individuals
with a strong academic background in information systems or supply chain
management.  A candidate must possess a Ph.D., have an exemplary record of
achievement in research, teaching, and service at a level sufficient for
appointment as a tenured Professor, at the rank of full professor, and
demonstrate a commitment to supporting the advancement of fellow faculty
members at all levels.

position is filled. For full consideration, application materials should be
