Job description

ABOUT THE SMU SCHOOL OF COMPUTING AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS

A premier university in Asia, the Singapore Management University (SMU) is internationally recognised for its world-class research and distinguished teaching. Established in 2000, SMU’s mission is to generate leading-edge research with global impact and produce broad-based, creative, and entrepreneurial leaders for the knowledge-based economy. SMU education is known for its highly interactive, collaborative, and project-based approach to learning, and for its technologically enabled pedagogy of seminar-style teaching in small class sizes.

The School of Computing and Information Systems (SCIS) offers an exceptionally supportive and inspirational environment for academic scholarship and research, applied R&D projects, and innovative education initiatives. We currently have around 55 tenure-track faculty members working across research areas in computer science & engineering, and information systems management. They are complemented by over 35 practice/education faculty members and lecturers who focus on teaching, translation, and pedagogical research.

Our Research. We are passionate about our research. We aim for excellence both in fundamental contribution to academic knowledge and in creating technology with practical impact. Real-world industry sectors provide SCIS with a testbed and laboratory for experimentation, as well as a fertile breeding ground for new ideas. Our faculty and students apply their research results to solve real problems in various industry settings and to create IT applications and systems. Additionally, our faculty actively publish in top-quality Computer Science and Management Science conferences and journals. Our faculty includes several world-class scholars and rising stars in their respective disciplines.

We are committed to supporting our faculty's development. Besides start-up support and career mentoring for junior faculty, their Ph.D. students are funded by the school rather than paid from their research grants. SCIS faculty members are encouraged to collaborate on innovative research projects, including interdisciplinary initiatives. SMU and Singapore government agencies, such as the National Research Foundation, provide generous support for high-quality research proposals.

A notable example of our funded research is the Center for Research on Intelligent Software Engineering, which conducts applied and fundamental research at the intersection of software engineering, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. In cybersecurity, SCIS has a Centre on Security, Mobile Applications, and Cryptography that researches mobile device, cloud, and platform security.

Our Education. SCIS has more than 100 students enrolled in the Ph.D. in Information Systems and Ph.D. in Computer Science programs. Ph.D. students can specialize in any of our research areas or in Information Systems & Management.

Our Doctor of Engineering (EngD) program, a Professional Doctoral Degree, trains students to become IT leaders with deep technical expertise for innovating, designing, and managing complex IT systems.

SCIS also offers a Master of IT in Business, a professionally oriented coursework program with over 400 active students. It supports tracks in Financial Technology & Analytics, focusing on FinTech and the integration of Technology & Operations in Banking; Analytics, focusing on applied analytics for business and social insights; Artificial Intelligence (AI), emphasizing building AI-enabled business applications; and Digital Transformation, preparing students to strategize and execute digital change in organizations.

Furthermore, we have approximately 1,800 undergraduates in programs such as B.Sc. (Computer Science), B.Sc. (Information Systems), B.Sc. (Computing & Law), and B.Sc. (Software Engineering). These programs have demonstrated educational innovation, established strong industry and social sector partnerships, and achieved successful job placements. Our entrepreneurial student body includes many who have started or participated in startups.
