Dear all,

Lancaster University has a position for a Chair in Business Analytics

We wish to make a senior appointment in Business Analytics. You will
have expertise in a range of areas connected with Business Analytics
that includes statistical analysis and computing. You will work with
research groups within the Department to strengthen the Department's
engagement with the developing field of Business Analytics (particularly
the Forecasting Centre). You will also develop a research agenda
involving outside organisations and seek opportunities for collaboration
with other Lancaster departments with interests in this area (e.g.
Computing and Maths & Stats).

Potential research interests may include:
• Methods of analysing large data bases
• Predictive modelling and forecasting in an organizational context
• A substantive interest in a business area, e.g. CRM, demand planning,
digital marketing, health care
• Using social media in the analysis of business problems
• Digital influence dynamics

A key quality in the successful candidate would be the ability to
envision how new technology and the methods associated with large
dynamic data bases can be harnessed in the solution of organizational
problems. You will also help to shape the new undergraduate programme in
Business Analytics and Consultancy, contribute to the Masters programme
in Management Science and Marketing Analytics and engage with the STOR-i
Centre for Doctoral Training. A successful candidate will take on a
leadership role in the Lancaster Centre for Forecasting, expanding and
promoting its research impact agenda.
Candidates should have a relevant PhD, a publication record that
demonstrates international excellence and experience of effective
organizational engagement.
