    The Strategy and International Business department invites applications for two positions at the rank of Assistant Professor of strategy and international business beginning September 2013.

    Suffolk University is a private institution of about 9500 students located in historic Beacon Hill, the heart of downtown Boston with easy access to the business/financial district.

    The Sawyer Business School, one of the three units of the university, has a global focus as part of its mission and attracts students from around the world. Many of our over 115 faculty members are engaged in research with an international focus.

    The School offers a Global Business Program at the undergraduate level, an MBA with Global specialization, and has required international business courses in other programs such as the Executive MBA. It was named among the top 15 US graduate programs in Global Management by Princeton Review, 2009. Faculty have opportunities to develop and lead travel seminars to overseas locations (such as China, UK, India, Brazil, Sweden, Germany, etc.) and teach at our overseas campus in Madrid (Spain).

    The Strategy and International business department is in the process of developing a Center for Global Business Enterprise. The Department also houses the Center for Innovation and Change Leadership. Our department currently consists of ten full time faculty from diverse cultural backgrounds and varied scholarly agendas. We are an eclectic department that fosters independent choice of scholarly work but our department and the business school rewards and supports research collaboration both within and outside our department boundaries. Our faculty are active international scholars with research streams crossing and often combining the domains of international business, strategic management and innovation management.

    Responsibilities include:

    * Ability to maintain a stream of quality research and deliver high quality courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels within a broadly defined area of strategy & IB.
    * Must possess a completed doctoral degree in strategy/ international business by August 2012, or soon thereafter.
    * Demonstrated teaching excellence, refereed publication(s), and relevant business or professional experience will enhance the candidacy.

    Subject: Assistant Professors of Organization and Strategy, including international management (positions available)

    Apologies for cross-postings

    The Department of Organization and Strategy of Tilburg University invites applications for Tenure Track Assistant Professors of Organization and Strategy. We are able to hire applicants to join the Department in any month during 2013; however ABD applicants are expected to have completed their doctoral dissertation prior to taking up employment.

    The Department of Organization and Strategy is part of the School of Economics and Management at Tilburg University. It currently consists of 21 tenured or tenure track faculty members and 8 lecturers. Full Professors of the Department include Geert Duysters (innovation and entrepreneurship), Xavier Martin (strategy, international business and innovation), Niels Noorderhaven (international management and innovation), Tal Simons (organization theory), Bart Vos (operations and supply chain management) and Arjen van Witteloostuijn (organization and economics, department chair). Senior part-time, emeritus or equivalent faculty include Jean-François Hennart (international business), Bart Nooteboom (interfirm relations and innovation policy) and Roger Schroeder (also the Donaldson Chair in Operations Management Emeritus at the University of Minnesota). The Department also employs a vibrant group of junior faculty.

    The department faculty work in the research areas of strategy, international business, organization theory, entrepreneurship, and innovation from a variety of theoretical and empirical methodological perspectives. (Another research area is operations/supply chain management; interested applicants in that area should refer to our separate position announcement.) Department members are drawn from leading universities in North America, Asia and Europe. The Department has a very strong research orientation with a focus on high-quality publications. The Department is associated with several research institutes, including as co-leader of the Center for Innovation Research, and with several large-scale research initiatives.

    Faculty of the Organization and Strategy Department mostly teach in three bachelor programs, three MSc programs, a Research Master program and a PhD program. All programs except one of the bachelor programs are taught in English. Non-Dutch-speaking candidates will be asked to teach in English only. The working language of the Department and School is English. Further information about the Department is available at www.tilburguniversity.edu/os.

    We aim to maximize the research time available to active faculty, and working conditions are otherwise comparable to major research universities in North America and Europe. The standard teaching load is two courses plus guidance of Bachelor and Master's thesis projects. Compensation is competitive with similar schools, and we provide support for conferences and other research related expenses.

    Tilburg University is one of Europe's leading universities in the fields of economics and management - indeed it regularly ranks among Europe's top 3 by research productivity. Tilburg is a pleasant city located in the Southern Netherlands, within one of Europe's foremost high-tech regions and equidistant from Amsterdam (Netherlands), Brussels (Belgium) and the Dusseldorf/Cologne area (Germany).

    Complete applications are due on October 1, 2012. Applications after the deadline will be considered only if a position is still available. Applicants should submit (1) a brief motivation letter, (2) a curriculum vitae, (3) a research statement and (as relevant) a dissertation summary, (4) examples of research, and (5) evidence of teaching ability (which may include a teaching statement). In addition they should ask three referees to submit their letters of reference directly. Applications and letters of reference should be sent to OS-recruiting@tilburguniversity.edu. Make sure to mention "organization and strategy" in the header and text of your e-mail.

    Members of the Department will be attending the Academy of Management meeting in Boston, where we will schedule meetings with promising candidates. Applicants interested in such a meeting should send preliminary material at the earliest possible date, and no later than July 30, to the e-mail address OS-recruiting@tilburguniversity.edu. The partial application should contain (1) a brief motivation letter, (2) a curriculum vitae, (3) a research statement, (4) at least one example of research. Make sure to mention "organization and strategy" in the header and text of your e-mail. (Complete application packages as described in the preceding paragraph can then be submitted by October 1.)

    Any further questions relating to these positions can be directed to Xavier Martin at x.martin@tilburguniversity.edu.
