Discussion: View Thread

 

 

The University of Amsterdam is looking to fill a position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the field of strategy (pending budget approval). The position can be informally discussed with attending faculty at the upcoming Strategic Management Society conference in Berlin. For details of the procedure, please see below.

 

The positions are within the International Strategy & Marketing department. We are interested in candidates in strategy generally, but we are especially interested in those whose research agenda's link up with ongoing research at our department and who can contribute to teaching on corporate strategy topics.

 

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. A recent ranking by QS puts UvA in the top 50 universities world-wide.

 

The University of Amsterdam Business School (ABS) is a relatively young institution. It was stablished in 2005 as a separate School within UvA's Faculty of Economics and Business, and has since built a strong track record in both research and teaching. ABS offers undergraduate, graduate, and executive programs in accounting, finance, management, and marketing.

 

The International Strategy & Marketing (ISM) department currently houses over 20 research-active faculty members, in addition to a number of PhD students, post-docs, and affiliated faculty. Since the establishment of ABS, 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, although not exclusive, interest within the department is the role of business in society. Strategy research within the department covers, among others, organization design, corporate governance, stakeholder theory, and sustainability issues.  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, Academy of Management Perspectives, Business Ethics Quarterly, 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.

 

We are looking for candidates who take their teaching seriously and have published, or are about to publish, in top-tier international journals, with visibility at major conferences and an active research agenda in the strategy field. 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.

 

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.

For associate professors this is between €4,428 & €5,920 per month (+16.3% holiday and end-year payments).
