    Lehigh University
    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
    letter of interest and curriculum vitae to Professor Susan A. Sherer,
    Chair Department of Management, College of Business and Economics,
