Faculty Position Openings

Update – 10/25/02	Unfortunately, the CIS Department at Georgia State University has been forced to put recruiting for Tenure-Track faculty positions on hold, until we see our spring enrollment figures. As a result, we will not be conducting interviews at ICIS. Without an increase in our enrollments in January, we doubt that we will remain in a position to hire new faculty during this recruiting cycle. If circumstances change, we may contact you in early 2003, if you formally applied. However, we advise you not to rely on the slim possibility that GSU will be able to resume recruiting this season. You are welcome to apply, in case circumstances change. Please see directions below.
