The Information Systems Program at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar is an undergraduate major intended to educate students to meet the increasing demand for Information Systems talent in Qatar and throughout the Gulf region. We are looking for candidates with backgrounds and interests across the Information Systems discipline. A Ph.D. in Information Systems or closely-related relevant field is required. A demonstrated record of teaching excellence or relevant industrial working experience is particularly welcomed.
Carnegie Mellon offers teaching-track appointments with multi-year contracts and promotions opportunities. While applications will be accepted at all levels of seniority, senior level applicants should have demonstrated leadership within the academic community, have made a significant and positive impact on curriculum and student development, and have a distinguished teaching record.
Applicants seeking a tenure-track position at a research university are not a good match for the needs of this position.
The position offers competitive salaries, travel and housing allowances and other benefits packages, as well as attractive research and professional development support. A moderate teaching load allows time for quality teaching, research and close involvement with students, faculty and the local business and educational community.
To apply, interested candidates should send (or arrange to have sent):
1) a letter of intent;
2) curriculum vitae and any supporting materials, including a statement of teaching philosophy;
3) three or more reference letters (Letters will not be requested directly by the Search Committee.)
4) official graduate academic transcripts and
5) additional supporting documentation which may include evidence of teaching effectiveness and/or representative research papers.
