Our campus is located in the heart of the financial district in Madrid,
Spain. The pleasure and convenience of living in the Spanish capital are
hard to match. Madrid has a superb infrastructure: plenty of urban
parks and other urban amenities, a comprehensive public health system
complemented by the private sector, a heavy emphasis on culture and
cultural events, etc. Public transportation is cheap and convenient, and
closeness of the world’s 11th largest airport makes travel to any part
of the world simple.
Despite growth and modernization, Madrid has preserved a local and
pleasant feel of its historical neighborhoods. The City offers an
exquisite, tolerant and cosmopolitan life-style, with an offering of the
world´s top museums, music/theatre/dance/film festivals, sport events,
and diversity of food stores, restaurants, shops, galleries, and indoor
or outdoor activities to suit all tastes. Yet, with a short commute one
can live in the countryside, in one of the many quaint towns that
surround Madrid. The increasing inflow of expatriates into the city has
resulted in a growing number of private international schools, health
services and other businesses serving this community. As a political
and economic centre of Spain –roughly, the 10th largest economy
worldwide- it hosts the headquarters of many Spanish and International
companies, which enhances opportunities for research, executive
education and consulting.
A requirement for the application is an earned Ph.D. in
Entrepreneurship, Organizational Theory, Strategic Management, or
related discipline, defended prior to joining. While obviously useful,
fluency in Spanish is not used as a determining factor in our hiring
decisions. Interested candidates are invited to submit a copy of their
vita, example of academic writing and/or recent publications and 3
reference contacts. Any evidence for demonstrated teaching record /
abilities is a plus.
Electronic submissions are preferred and should be sent to Ms. Adriana
Angel (
