SCIS Adjunct Lecturer Term 1 AY26/27 - ( 26000046 ) DESCRIPTION

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, as well as 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 a variety of industry settings and to create IT applications and systems. At the same time, our faculty actively publish in top-quality Computer Science and Management Science conferences and journals. On our faculty are several world-class scholars and rising stars in their respective disciplines.

We are committed to supporting the development of our faculty. 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 and also on integrative and interdisciplinary projects. SMU as well as Singapore government agencies, such as the National Research Foundation, provide generous support for high-quality research proposals.

A noteworthy example of our funded research is the Center for Research on Intelligent Software Engineering which conducts applied and fundamental research in the intersection of software engineering, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. In the area of Cybersecurity, SCIS has a Centre on Security, Mobile Applications and Cryptography that conducts research into 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 programmes. Ph.D. students can specialized in any of our computer science research areas, or in the Information Systems & Management research area.

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

SCIS also offers Master of IT in Business , a professionally oriented coursework programme, which has more than 400 active students. The programme supports a Financial Technology & Analytics track focusing on FinTech and the integration of Technology & Operations in Banking, an Analytics track focusing on applied analytics for business, consumer and social insights, an an Artificial Intelligence (AI) track that emphasises building AI-enabled business applications, as well as a Digital Transformation track that equips students to strategise and execute digital transformation in complex organisations.

Additionally, we have approximately 1,800 undergraduate students in our B.Sc. (Computer Science) , B.Sc. (Information Systems) , B.Sc. (Computing & Law) and B.Sc. (Software Engineering) programmes. The programmes have been remarkably successful in demonstrating educational innovations and creating a culture of learning, establishing external linkages and partnerships with industry, government and the social sector, and in job placement outcomes. We have an entrepreneurial student body, and many SCIS undergraduates have gone on to create or participate in start-ups .
