    The Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University seeks applications and nominations for a tenure track faculty position in the area of strategic management.  Although rank is open, we intend to hire at the more senior level (full or associate). This position is an exceptional opportunity due to a combination of unique and attractive resources. There are many outstanding faculty colleagues with interests in strategic management in the Department of Managerial Sciences as well as other units of the College, the University, and neighboring universities in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Atlanta</st1:city></st1:place> area. The City of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Atlanta</st1:city></st1:place> and the University provide an excellent setting for someone with interests in strategic management. The successful candidate will begin employment in Fall, 2008.

     

    Candidates must have an earned doctorate in a relevant field.  The individual selected for this position is expected to be an eminent scholar with an international scholarly reputation, who will take a leadership role in furthering the research and educational missions of the department and college. Collegiality and a demonstrated ability to develop and work with others to define and conduct research are important. The position includes teaching at the graduate and/or undergraduate levels in the College’s academic programs.  Interest and capability to contribute to executive programs is a plus. Salary, teaching loads, and other types of support are competitive with other research universities.  The position is contingent upon final budget approval by the University.
