Zusammenfassung:Little is known about which qualities MIS department search committees are looking for in candidates when conducting a faculty search at the assistant professor level. This paper examines the qualities being sought by institutions focusing on research, teaching, or both. The actual teaching and research performance of students in the field is then used to find clusters of students and to examine the performance of different clusters. Finally, lessons for students and academic programs are discussed in terms of fit of the faculty candidate and the academic department.
