The University of North Texas (UNT) has embarked on a major multi-year
university initiative to hire new faculty and make significant

to fill multiple faculty positions, most at the senior level, either as part
of a research cluster or as an initial hire in an area designated as a
strategic initiative of the University.
We invite applications and nominations for an associate or full professor

opportunity to exercise leadership in defining the research focus and in
recruiting additional faculty as approved for this strategic area.
Salaries, benefits, and teaching loads are typical for a major research
university. The home department of the faculty hired will depend on his or

the hiring decision. Responsibilities include developing an internationally
recognized synergetic research program, teaching undergraduate and graduate
courses in family business, and providing service to the university and the
profession.
