Minimum requirements are an earned Ph.D. in Data Science, Business Analytics, Computer Science, Statistics, Economics, or related fields from an accredited university or international equivalent. Candidates with a master’s degree and exceptional relevant experience may also be considered.

Ideal candidates will have teaching capabilities to teach courses in the College’s M.S. in Data Science and Analytics (MSDSA), MBA, and other related programs. Candidates will also have the opportunity to interact with companies in the metro Atlanta area through hands-on experiential applied innovation research projects. With respect to research and publication, non-tenure track clinical faculty are expected to make high-quality and impactful contributions to the scholarship of teaching and learning (sometimes referred to as pedagogical scholarship or as pedagogical research) and/or research related to practice.

The successful candidate will join the Institute for Insight, the College’s data science and analytics unit and host of the MSDSA program. Established in 2015, the Institute pursues new interdisciplinary research areas investigating how future computing and digital capabilities can transform business and society. By bringing its core computer science, statistics, and engineering faculty researchers together with management, legal, and social science scholars, the Institute seeks to be a trusted resource assisting strategic partners in creatively designing implementable strategies that solve real-world challenges and drive positive business valuation.

Opportunities for collaboration are excellent with similarly interested faculty colleagues across the college and university in areas such as law, economics, finance, accounting, marketing, risk management, and health care, along with researchers across the college and university associated with our innovation labs in FinTech and Blockchain, Legal Analytics, Social Media Intelligence, Supply Chain, and Healthcare Analytics. Faculty, research scientists, and other affiliated members in these labs work closely with business partners on applied innovation research.
