Jarislowsky Chair in Corporate Governance
The John Molson School of Business of Concordia University invites applications for the first appointment of the Jarislowsky Chair in Corporate Governance. The search is open to candidates at the Associate Professor or Professor level.
Applications from any area of business administration are encouraged to apply. We seek candidates with exceptionally strong and internationally recognized research records, outstanding teaching abilities and high visibility within the business and/or non-profit communities. Candidates should have demonstrated an ability to successfully conduct research on the governance performance nexus. Research areas may include securities regulation and public policy, the structure effectiveness and decision making of boards of directors, executive compensation, corporate ownership and multiple voting shares structures, shareholder activism, ethics in governance, top management succession planning, and/or financial reporting and auditing (the list is not exhaustive).
Additional selection criteria would include successful teaching experience, in particular working with research fellows and graduate students. Experience in the actual governance of private, non-profit and/or public organizations would be a distinct advantage. The chairholder is expected to assume a leadership role within the John Molson School of Business in spearheading its governance teaching and research agenda. The chairholder is also expected to work closely with the Institute for the Governance of Private and Public Organizations, a joint Concordia University-HEC Montreal initiative. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Communication skills in French would be considered an asset.
The Jarislowsky Chair in Corporate Governance is sponsored by the Jarislowsky Foundation which was established by Mr. Stephen Jarislowsky. Mr. Jarislowsky is currently Chairman and CEO of Jarislowsky Fraser Limited, one of Canada's leading portfolio and investment managers, as well as a founding director of the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance, a forum for institutional investors managing more than $1.4 trillion in investments.
As one of the largest and oldest business schools in Canada, the John Molson School of Business offers AACSB accredited programs at the undergraduate, MBA, Executive MBA, M.Sc. and PhD levels. With a reputation for innovative and practical teaching, its students regularly excel in national and international competitions while its faculty members enjoy national and international reputations, built upon successful publication and research grant records. The business school enjoys strong business support for its research and programs. In 2009, the John Molson School of Business will be moving into its new, 15-storey, LEED certified building that will be equipped with leading edge teaching and research technologies.
This appointment will be in effect starting June 1, 2009.
