University of
Cambridge
Assistant Professor (tenure-track) Vacancy at the
Judge Business
School,
University of Cambridge.
Job Title: Lecturer (Assistant Prof) in
Strategy/Organization Theory
The Strategy and Marketing Group
The successful candidate will be joining a dynamic and
extremely Promising but as yet small Strategy and
Marketing group at a world-class university
(www.jbs.cam.ac.uk). The group consists of
predominantly young, enthusiastic, and motivated
scholars in marketing, strategy, organization theory
and international business. Group members are
publishing in leading international journals across
areas as diverse as strategic alliances, product
innovation and diffusion, institutional theory, doing
business in China, corporate reputation, and customer
service quality.
The group is international with members from
Australia, China, France, Greece, Pakistan, Malaysia,
The Netherlands, Switzerland and the United
Kingdom. Members have extensive research networks with
academics from other leading institutions throughout
North America and the rest of the world. The
department enjoys frequent visits (ranging from a few
days to several months) from world class scholars.
Members of the Strategy and Marketing group also work
with some of the
world's leading organisations whether through
collaborative research or in an executive education
capacity. Cambridge's location in close
proximity to London and at the same time at the centre
of 'Silicon Fen', Europe's fastest growing
technology-based industrial centres, gives
unprecedented access to large multi nationals and to
hundreds of smaller entrepreneurial organisations in
emerging industries. In addition, the
interdisciplinarity that characterizes research at
Cambridge ensures faculty contact across a wide range
of departments and expertise, thus promoting
cross-fertilisation of ideas.
The Role

contribute to teaching
Courses related to Strategy as required to the
undergraduate, MPhil, MBA and PhD programmes. Project
administration and dissertation supervision is also
expected.
The teaching load of lecturers at Judge Business
School tends to be
Light typically 70 hours of formal classroom contact
or equivalent per
annum). This allows faculty to spend the majority of
their time on research. All lecturers are expected to
carry out some (not too onerous)administrative duties
in due course.
