The Strategy & Innovation Department at the Boston University School of Management is seeking candidates for a new position on Innovation, Sustainability and the Environment. Applications at all levels will be considered for this position (junior, mid-career, or senior levels).
The Strategy & Innovation Department (S&I) was created three years ago to sharpen the School's research focus in this area and take full advantage of the considerable technology-related research taking place both at the School and University level. The S&I Department places particular emphasis on the study of innovation in different kinds of organizations and the role of technological change in creating new industries and shaping existing ones. The department's faculty represents an interdisciplinary group of researchers with primary background in economics, sociology, and organizational theory.
Special consideration will be given to applicants whose research addresses the innovation and business opportunities created by the challenge of responding to global climate change. All applicants are expected to have strong disciplinary training; i.e. Ph.D. from a research university (near completion in the case of junior applicants). Applicants should also have proven record of or high potential for scholarly research and have clear potential or demonstrated ability for teaching in areas related to sustainability and strategy.
Interested applicants should send by January 7th, 2011 (a) a current curriculum vitae, (b) at least one recent scholarly article and/or job market paper, and (c) three letters of recommendation, sent directly by recommenders, electronically to:
