The Strategy and International Business department invites applications for two positions at the rank of Assistant Professor of strategy and international business beginning September 2013.
Suffolk University is a private institution of about 9500 students located in historic Beacon Hill, the heart of downtown Boston with easy access to the business/financial district.
The Sawyer Business School, one of the three units of the university, has a global focus as part of its mission and attracts students from around the world. Many of our over 115 faculty members are engaged in research with an international focus.
The School offers a Global Business Program at the undergraduate level, an MBA with Global specialization, and has required international business courses in other programs such as the Executive MBA. It was named among the top 15 US graduate programs in Global Management by Princeton Review, 2009. Faculty have opportunities to develop and lead travel seminars to overseas locations (such as China, UK, India, Brazil, Sweden, Germany, etc.) and teach at our overseas campus in Madrid (Spain).
The Strategy and International business department is in the process of developing a Center for Global Business Enterprise. The Department also houses the Center for Innovation and Change Leadership. Our department currently consists of ten full time faculty from diverse cultural backgrounds and varied scholarly agendas. We are an eclectic department that fosters independent choice of scholarly work but our department and the business school rewards and supports research collaboration both within and outside our department boundaries. Our faculty are active international scholars with research streams crossing and often combining the domains of international business, strategic management and innovation management.
Responsibilities include:
* Ability to maintain a stream of quality research and deliver high quality courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels within a broadly defined area of strategy & IB.
* Must possess a completed doctoral degree in strategy/ international business by August 2012, or soon thereafter.
