JOB POSTING - PROFESSOR OF STRATEGY - MCMASTER UNIVERSITY
The DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University invites applications for a tenure track appointment in the Strategic Management area. Rank is open. The appointment will commence July 1, 2016, although an earlier appointment date may be possible. The DeGroote School of Business strives to create a strong, supportive and collegial research culture, building the research capacity of faculty and graduate students. We are one of six faculties at McMaster and we believe in experiential learning: complementing classroom studies with hands-on experience. The School has over 2,300 undergraduate students, 600 MBAs, 60 PhDs and 70 full-time faculty.
The School hosts three research centres and a number of research chairs that contribute to the prosperity of society at large and provide value to business. DeGroote operates at two campuses, the McMaster University main campus in Hamilton, Ontario and a new state-of-the-art facility in nearby Burlington, Ontario, housing the MBA and executive programs. The successful candidate is expected to be active at both locations, teaching undergraduate and/or graduate courses in Strategy and/or International Business as well as teaching in the School’s professionally oriented executive development programs and/or Director’s College.
Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated competency in research initiatives and outcomes, including peer-reviewed journal publications, conference presentations, and securement of grants. Evidence of excellence in teaching is also a must. Candidates will have a PhD in Strategic Management or a related field, with, ideally, cross-over interests or research proficiency in data analytics, or health services management.
Applicants must have a strong background knowledge and skills in theory and research methods and an ability to apply the same in addressing issues of strategic importance to organizations. DeGroote has a strong research-oriented faculty that is supportive of serious scholarship. We are interested in individuals with outstanding research skills as well as a passion for teaching.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
We will continue receiving applications for this position until it is filled. The deadline date for the first consideration of candidates for these appointments is October 1, 2015. We will be meeting with interested candidates in Vancouver, at the Academy of Management meetings in August.
