Tenure Track Position in Organizational Behavior
Lehigh University’s Department of Management seeks to fill one tenure
track position in organizational behavior beginning fall 2008.
Preference will be given to faculty desiring consideration at the rank
of either associate or full professor with a high profile research
record. Experienced assistant professors will only be considered with an
outstanding research record. Active scholarship in leadership and
interpersonal processes with a strong focus on research methods is
desirable. An excellent teaching record is required with a broad
interest in OB and HR preferable. Team teaching, distance education, and
web-based instruction are likely. Industry/professional experience is
highly desirable. Earned doctorate in organizational behavior or human
resources from a recognized school of business is required.
This position is part of a major hiring initiative within the College of
Business and Economics that is unprecedented in scope at Lehigh
University (www.lehigh.edu). The faculty recruitment plan includes the
addition of 12 new faculty positions this year across all departments
and at various levels of seniority. New university leadership that
includes President Alice Gast, formerly from MIT, incoming Dean Paul
Brown from NYU/Stern and Provost Mohamed El-Aasser is fully committed to
this effort.
Lehigh University is ranked 33rd among national universities in the 2007
US News & World Report, 20th in BusinessWeek’s top undergraduate
business programs, and placed in the most competitive category in both
Peterson’s Guide and Barron’s Profile of American Colleges
For nearly 140 years, Lehigh University has combined outstanding
academic and learning opportunities with leadership in fostering
innovative research. The institution is among the nation's most
selective, highly ranked private research universities. Lehigh’s four
colleges provide graduate and undergraduate education to 6,500 students.
Lehigh is located in eastern Pennsylvania, on a scenic, 1,600-acre
campus in historic Bethlehem (ranked in Money Magazines’ “top 100 places
to live” in 2006), 50 miles north of Philadelphia and 75 miles southwest
of New York City. Lehigh Valley International Airport, served by most
major airlines, is 15 minutes from campus.
The College of Business and Economics is home to approximately 1250
undergraduates, 325 graduate students, and 55 full-time faculty members.
In addition to undergraduate, MBA, and various doctoral programs, joint
programs exist between business and engineering including the joint
Center for Value Chain Research. The Management Department includes
faculty in supply chain, information systems, strategic management, and
organizational behavior. We have just introduced a new undergraduate
management major. Opportunities for sponsored research are available
through the Center for Value Chain Research (www.lehigh.edu/~inchain).
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until
the position is filled. To ensure full consideration, please send a
