    Subject to funding approval, the Department of Organization and Management at San Jose State University has an opening for a tenure-track faculty position in strategic management. (We also have separate openings in global business, org change/org theory, and supply chain management).

    Appointments will be made at the assistant or associate professor level. The start date can be August 2008 or January 2008.

    Applicants should:
    * Have a strong background in strategic management.
    * Demonstrate a commitment to teaching excellence.
    * Demonstrate an ability to work in a collegial atmosphere as part of a team.
    * Be aware of and sensitive to the educational needs of a multicultural population.
    * Possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
    * Emphasize pragmatic teaching applications, ideally enhanced by industry experience.

    ABD candidates will be considered, but completing the doctorate would be a condition of continuing employment and is a prerequisite to promotion and tenure. For appointment to senior rank, candidates must demonstrate a record of quality research leading to refereed publications, and be willing to assume a leadership role in the field.

    The Organization and Management Department serves approximately 1,500 undergraduates who have declared Management, International Business or Human Resource Management as a major. Additional information on the department can be found at:
