About Scheller College of Business

The Scheller College of Business' Full-time MBA Program is ranked #9 among public universities by Bloomberg BusinessWeek (2021) and U.S. News & World Report (2023). Georgia Tech is one of the nation's leading research universities and consistently ranks among the top public universities in the country. Atlanta is the 9th largest metropolitan area in the U.S. and serves as a cultural and economic hub for the region.

The Scheller College of Business at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, seeks applications for a research-focused Postdoctoral Fellow in Information Technology Management (ITM). The initial appointment is for one year and may be renewed for up to two years, depending on satisfactory performance. The postdoc can begin as soon as January 2026 or as late as August 2026 we are happy to accommodate the timeline that works best for the selected candidate.

The role involves close collaboration with the ITM area faculty on mutually selected research projects. Two preferred areas of focus for our group are:

Studying the application of LLMs in online multisided platforms, such as the design and optimization of LLM-powered advertising mechanisms, and strategic interaction between platform participants. We are particularly interested in how LLMs influence user engagement, attention allocation, and economic outcomes on digital platforms, including auction-based advertising markets and dynamic information environments.

Developing economic frameworks for data valuation and privacy in business applications, including topics such as federated learning, copyright-preserving generative models, data marketplace pricing, and incentive-compatible privacy mechanisms. This line of research aims to connect information economics, machine learning algorithms, and market design, to address practical concerns in decentralized data governance, trustworthy machine learning, and platform strategy.

Responsibilities for this position include :

• Work on high-impact research projects, from conceptualization, data collection, and data analysis to manuscript preparation and publication.
• Teach one 3-credit course each year.
• Perform related services based on the needs of the ITM area

• A Ph.D. or equivalent degree in information systems, economics, management science, computer science, statistics, operations, or other related quantitative and/or social science domains
• The degree must completed by the position start date. For example, ABD (All but dissertation) candidates must have successfully defended their dissertation no later than July 1, 2026 for an August 1, 2026 start date.
• Strong analytical, quantitative, and communication skills.

• Knowledge in machine learning, generative models and LLM.
• Knowledge in data privacy technologies, including but not limited to federated learning, differential privacy, copyright preserving technologies in generative models.
• Knowledge in microeconomic theory, including but not limited to mechanism design, auction theory, game theory
• Prior teaching experience

Applicants should submit:

• A cover letter (please discuss research themes or topics that you'd like to pursue and any relevant research or industry experience)
• Your CV
• Names and contact information of three references as a single pdf file, and
• One published or working paper.

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. To receive full consideration, please submit your application no later than 2

The selection process for the chosen candidates will include passing a pre-employment background screening, submission of transcripts, as well as other pre-employment documents once top candidates have been identified.

Questions can be sent to addressing Professor Mingxi Zhu or Professor Lizhen Xu

We welcome candidates with strong skills in areas including, but not limited to, analytical modeling; economic theory (such as game theory, mechanism design, and information design); and machine learning (including algorithm design, analysis, and generative models such as large language models). While a background in information systems is preferred, we also encourage applicants from related fields such as economics, computer science, operations research, and statistics. We are particularly interested in scholars who can integrate economic theory with computational approaches to address key challenges at the intersection of artificial intelligence, digital markets, and information technologies.
