Pre-announcement
POSITIONS IN STRATEGY
The University of Amsterdam Business School is looking to fill positions at
all levels (assistant/associate/full professor) in the field of strategy.
These positions are within the International Strategy & Marketing
department. Faculty members will be available to informally discuss these
positions during the 2013 AOM and SMS conferences. We are interested in
candidates in strategy generally, but especially those with an interest in
behavioural strategy or corporate governance broadly defined (internal and
external governance, including corporate social responsibility issues and
stakeholder management perspectives).
About the University, School, and Department
The University of Amsterdam (UvA) has a history that goes back to 1632. UvA
is a broad-based research driven university with an enrollment of over
30.000 students. Rankings by the Times (THES) and QS put UvA in the top 100
universities world-wide.
The University of Amsterdam Business School (ABS) offers undergraduate,
graduate, and executive programs in accounting, finance, management, and
marketing. Most if the teaching in these programs takes place in small
seminar sized groups. The International Strategy & Marketing (ISM)
department currently houses 22 faculty members, in addition to a number of
PhD students and affiliated faculty.
Over the last six years, the ISM department has grown substantially, and we
anticipate further growth in the future. The department’s research programme
focuses on strategy, marketing, and international business in the broadest
sense. A common interest within the department is the role of business in
society. The department produces a steady stream of papers in
internationally recognized journals, and members of the section have
recently published in journals like the Academy of Management Review,
Business & Society, California Management Review, Journal of Business
Ethics, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Management,
Journal of Management Studies, and Strategic Management Journal, among others.
What we are looking for
We are looking for candidates who take their teaching seriously and have
published, or are about to publish, in top-tier international journals, with
concomitant visibility at major conferences, and an active research
portfolio in strategy or international business. We are particularly
interested in ambitious team players who can help us further build our
department and ABS more generally. A PhD in management or a related field is
a requirement for all positions. The track record of candidates above the
level of assistant professor should be consistent with the rank applied for.
What we offer
The possibility to help shape a growing research driven business school at
an internationally recognized university that has the ambition to become a
leading international player in the field of management research and
education. ABS is located in the heart of Amsterdam, the cultural and
financial capital of the Netherlands. Amsterdam offers a cosmopolitan living
environment with excellent connections to the rest of the world.
Appointment at the assistant professor level will be on the basis of a
tenure track. Salary will be in accordance with Dutch academic salary scales
and include a pension scheme. For assistant professors this is between
€3,195 & €4,970 per month (+16.3% holiday and end-year payments). For
associate professors this is between €4,428 & €5,920 per month (+16.3%
holiday and end-year payments), and for full professors between €5,003 &
€8,795 per month (+16.3% holiday and end-year payments). A substantial
reduction in income tax (equal to 30% of taxable salary) may apply to
non-Dutch candidates.
Applications
This is a pre-announcement. Recruitment for these positions will formally be
opened in the coming months, and details of the application procedure will
then be announced. However, ISM faculty are more than happy to already
discuss these position, for instance at the upcoming AOM and SMS conferences.
Applicants who require further information about these positions may contact
the chair of the department, Dr. Jan-Willem Stoelhorst via e-mail:
J.W.Stoelhorst@uva.nl.
