The School of Information Systems (SIS) at the Singapore Management

University is looking to hire research faculty with strong Computer Science

background who are either:

 

    Fresh Ph.D.s (or students graduating by August 2012)

    Postdocs looking for a faculty position

    Ph.D.s who are currently in industry but want to return to faculty and research work

    Mid-career faculty who are looking to transition to Asia

 

AND who have strong application & infrastructure building and publishing

records in Distributed Systems or Software Engineering with a specific

interest in the building of large distributed systems. While all areas

related to Systems Research are welcome, we are especially interested in

research expertise related to large-scale, context-aware computing

platforms, cloud computing and privacy-supporting infrastructures.

 

Currently our school has approx. 35 faculty members (more details are

here), and we are in the process of hiring an additional 10 to 15 faculty

members over the next 3 years.

 

Our faculty are clustered in five areas:

 

    - Information Security & Trust

    - Data Management & Analytics

    - Software Systems

    - Intelligent Systems & Interaction

    - Information Systems & Management

 

Faculty in the first four areas have done their PhD work in Computer

Science, Engineering, IT or closely related fields, and publish in the

computer science and technology communities. Faculty in the fifth area have

done their PhD work in the economics of Information Technology, and in

empirical methods for quantifying the impact of IT related innovations or

projects. Hence we encompass both deep systems oriented information

technology capability, as well as the ability to analyse and predict the

business and management aspects associated with IT applications, systems,

innovations and transformations. We emphasise collaborative and inter-

disciplinary research, across our technology areas, or between our

technology areas and our IS management area.

 

The current advertisement is for a tenure-track/tenured position in the

Software System cluster. Current projects and research initiatives in this

cluster include problems related to mobile and pervasive systems, software

modeling and design, human computer interaction and interfaces, software

mining and program analysis and cyber-physical software frameworks. The

cluster's faculty are key members of the LiveLabs Urban Lifestyle

Innovation Testbed (http://livelabs.smu.edu.sg), a S$10M, 5 year effort at

building a globally-unique software platform for real-life experimentation

and testing of next-generation mobile applications, on a large participant

body, at multiple commercial locations in Singapore. While we encourage

applied research (addressing real-world problems), our faculty produce high

quality research that is published in top research venues. The school

facilitates working relationships with industry to make it easier for

faculty members to get real data and examples for research and for

teaching. We are quite selective in who we hire and our benefits and salary

are very competitive to US employers.

 

Other important things:

 

  - We provide a lot of career mentoring and guidance to pre-tenure faculty.

 

  - Since 2003, we have had a strategic partnership with Carnegie Mellon

University. This allows our         faculty to interact very closely with

senior research faculty from CMU. More details are available

    at http://www.sis.smu.edu.sg/about-school/academic-partnerships.asp

 

  - We have a strong emphasis on educational innovation and effectiveness.

We believe that our

    school should be outstanding in both research and education.

 

Qualified candidates must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research

and teaching statements and samples of published work. Candidates may

submit softcopy or hardcopy of their application materials to:
