UTSA seeks candidates for key roles in new School of Data Science
UTSA Today
The University of Texas at San Antonio is embarking on an executive search to secure innovative leadership for the new School of Data Science in downtown San Antonio.
The UTSA School of Data Science will be a nationally recognized center of excellence in its field. The SDS will be the nexus of advanced data activities both within the state of Texas and globally by attracting leading technology pioneers to serve as faculty providing real world research and instruction, thought leadership and domain expertise to solve the intractable problems in data science.
The school will further solidify San Antonio’s status as the largest information security hub outside of Washington, D.C. The university’s 100-plus faculty members in data science, artificial intelligence, computer science and engineering, cybersecurity, cloud computing, statistics, and data analytics will be housed under one highly collaborative roof.
With a new facility housing classrooms, laboratories and research space, the school will support the 12 bachelor’s, six master’s and three doctoral degrees as well as three certificate programs and other professional credential educational opportunities. A focus on connected classrooms and cutting-edge instructional technology will provide flexibility for course content delivery.
