    The Management Department at the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin is hiring tenure-track faculty members to join our department in the fall of 2012. We welcome applications from all ranks in the areas of organization theory and strategic management. 


    Current members of the Management Department are Professors Jim Fredrickson (Department Chair), John Butler, Janet Dukerich, Dave Harrison, Dave Jemison and Violina Rindova; Associate Professors Caroline Bartel, Ethan Burris, Melissa Graebner, Andy Henderson, Kyle Lewis and Luis Martins; and Assistant Professors Emily Amanatullah, Sekou Bermiss, Craig Crossland, Rory McDonald, Francisco Polidoro and Jennifer Whitson.


    The Management Department is housed in the McCombs School of Business, which was named following a generous gift from Red McCombs as part of The University of Texas's $1 billion capital campaign. The department also is home to the Herb Kelleher Center for Entrepreneurship, Growth, and Renewal, an endowed, multidisciplinary research center dedicated to research on emerging companies, innovation, and creativity. The school's location in Austin is particularly attractive to researchers interested in technology, entrepreneurship, human capital development, and a variety of related issues. Moreover, Fortune recently named Austin the nation's #1 city for business, and a number of other publications have reported similar ratings. In addition, our AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center, which opened in 2008, is a world-class facility that enhances the executive education offerings of the school (see http://www.meetattexas.com/). For more details on the school and the department, please visit www.mccombs.utexas.edu. Finally, Austin is a wonderful place to live!
