The University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), which is located on the unceded land of the Mi’kmaq Nation, of the Wabanaki Confederacy, in the traditional district of Epekwitk, welcomes applications for a tenure-track position Assistant Professor of Business Analytics and Management Science, beginning July 1, 2022. This position is subject to budgetary approval.  

Qualifications:

The successful candidate will be a member of the faculty team and be expected to balance rigorous research activity, service contributions, and undergraduate- and graduate-level teaching. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in Information Systems, Operations Management, Statistics, Computer Science, or a closely related data-analytics discipline. A record of excellence in research and teaching, or a demonstration of clear promise is required.  

Candidates should be well qualified to design and teach courses in business analytics, business technology, management science, and/or operations management. Interests in artificial intelligence, platform business models, crowdfunding, and/or blockchain technologies are also valued.  

The UPEI Faculty of Business has emphasized experiential learning and evidence-based management in teaching and scholarship; candidates who can contribute to that focus are encouraged to apply. In addition, our faculty values candidates with both strong academic qualifications and professional experience in an applied setting. 

UPEI is recognized as a leading, innovative centre of excellence in learning, teaching, scholarship, and research. While it is strongly connected to the vibrant social and cultural environment of Prince Edward Island, it enjoys a reputation that extends far beyond the Island’s shores. 

The University is in the provincial capital of Charlottetown, a bustling tourist destination that boasts the amenities of a much larger city, including excellent theatre, galleries, music, and dining possibilities. A province-wide hiking and biking trail runs right along the UPEI campus, and the National Park beaches and world-famous golf courses are a short drive away. Charlottetown and its surrounding communities offer charming housing options, a low crime rate, and a semi-rural lifestyle that is second-to-none. 

Application Instructions:

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research outline, and teaching dossier (e.g., teaching philosophy, teaching evaluations, previous syllabi). Candidates should also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent directly to the address below. An application package including and addressing all the elements listed above must be submitted electronically as a single PDF file to:
