Position Summary:
The UCD College of Business is a dynamic, research-intensive, business school located in the vibrant European capital of Dublin. It is comprised of the Lochlann Quinn School of Business (‘the Quinn School’), the Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School (‘the Smurfit School’), UCD College of Business – Global Campus, and Smurfit Executive Development (‘Executive Development’). The Quinn School is located on the main campus at Belfield while the Smurfit School and Executive Development are located on the Blackrock campus about five kilometres away. The College also has a significant overseas presence in Singapore.
With a history reaching back over a century, the College has educated business leaders who have impacted greatly on the economic development of Ireland and beyond. The College has over 90,000 alumni globally. Consistently ranked amongst the world’s leading business schools, the College of Business is currently ranked 23rd in the Financial Times European Business Schools rankings. It is the only Irish member of the Global Alliance in Management Education (CEMS) and the Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM). The College also holds the triple crown of accreditation from AACSB (US), EQUIS (Europe) and AMBA (UK).
The UCD College of Business strategy (
https://www.smurfitschool.ie/aboutus/ourstrategy/) ‘Creating a Better Future Together’, draws strongly on our commitment to ‘empower, connect and create’, and is underpinned by our desire to make a difference, to create future opportunity for our students and other stakeholders, and through excellence in our research and educational activities, to have a meaningful, sustainable, positive, impact on business and society. Our strategy is also underpinned by a commitment to creativity, integrity, community, inclusiveness, and respect for diversity.
University College Dublin has recently completed a comprehensive strategic planning process which sets out an exciting and ambitious agenda for the University and within that the College of Business. This strategy ‘Breaking Boundaries’
https://www.ucd.ie/strategy/ sets out a number of priority themes for the University including, ‘AI and digital technologies’, ‘Sustainability’ and ‘One Health’.
In support of the UCD and College of Business strategy, we invite applications for the position of Lecturer/ Assistant Professor in the UCD College of Business, Management Information Systems (MIS) Subject Area. Applications are particularly encouraged from applicants with strong teaching and research capabilities in the areas of Business Analytics and/ or Information Systems/ Digital Innovation, as described below.
One of the keystones of the College of Business’ reputation as a leading business school is the excellence of our faculty. Across our six subject areas, we undertake teaching and research spanning all key business disciplines, with our faculty providing thought leadership in leading academic journals (FT50, ABS 4 and ABS 3). Candidates should have a track record of publication in leading peer-reviewed academic journals and experience of teaching in a research-intensive Business School. The College also strongly values connectivity and engagement with industry, impact on policy formulation, and engagement with the wider public. Candidates are expected to demonstrate an interest in this and in contributing more generally to the College/ University community in a collegial fashion.
Established in 1979, the Management Information Systems (MIS) Subject Area is home to two constitutive academic communities, each organised around an active research centre — the UCD Centre for Business Analytics (CBA) and the UCD Centre for Innovation, Technology & Organisation (CITO) — and associated MSc programmes (MSc Business Analytics & AI and MSc Digital Innovation & AI). The MIS Subject Area also teaches into our MBA and undergraduate business and management programmes.
CBA draws on perspectives and approaches from Operational Research, Analytics, Computer Science, and Mathematics to focus on a range of problems in Business Analytics, including applications of optimisation, business modelling, machine learning, and evolutionary computing techniques. CITO draws on perspectives and approaches from Information Systems (IS), Management & Organisation Studies, Philosophy, and Social Theory to study social, cultural, and political issues around IS innovation processes (including recent developments in AI) and their management.
Faculty from both research centres are engaged in a range of interdisciplinary research collaborations, both within UCD — e.g., with members of the UCD Energy Institute, UCD Earth Institute, and UCD Natural Computing Research & Applications Group (NCRA) — and beyond. Moreover, recent developments in AI technologies have produced a renewed impetus for the integration of teaching and research thematics across CBA and CITO. In particular, the MIS Subject Area is uniquely positioned to advance understanding of AI from both technical (e.g., machine learning, data science, predictive analytics, and optimisation) and social/ organisational (e.g., competing understandings of AI and its human/ cultural implications, the politics of AI innovation, and approaches to managing AI development, deployment, and use) perspectives. A key emerging focus, therefore, concerns a critical research agenda around the prospect of 'AI for a better world'.
We are now inviting applications for two positions, at the level of Lecturer/ Assistant Professor, within the MIS Subject Area. Applications are particularly encouraged from applicants with a strong interest and track record in teaching and research in the following areas:
1. Business Analytics, with a strong background in areas such as AI, optimisation, machine learning, data management and analytics, and their application to domains of relevance to business, organisations, and society.
2. Information Systems/ Digital Innovation and/ or Business Analytics, more broadly, with a strong background in any of the domains and disciplines central to the work of the MIS Subject Area.
In particular, we are keen to recruit individuals who have a deep interdisciplinary orientation, and whose work has the potential to make important contributions to contemporary debates around organisational applications of AI and their transformative potential.
