    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.
