POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT:

IE BUSINESS SCHOOL (MADRID, SPAIN)

 TENURE-TRACK POSITION IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP

IE Business School (www.ie.edu) is seeking applicants for two positions of Professor of Entrepreneurship (at the Assistant, Associate or Full rank).  Candidates are expected to have demonstrated a record of research or a promising research stream that includes publications or potential for publication in leading academic journals, both discipline-based and general management.  We also value the desire and the ability to teach our diverse students.  Teaching load and the compensation package are competitive, and quality of life is world-class.

IE Business School (www.ie.edu) is a private institution dedicated to building knowledge through research, and translating it to business practice.  We teach through diverse programs, all based on our core values: global reach, entrepreneurial spirit and a humanistic approach. Our student body represents more than 80 countries, while the 400+ IE's international Faculty teaches across various masters, MBA, doctorate, and executive education programs, including online education and blended programs. 

IE is accredited by the AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA, and consists of IE University, IE Law School and IE Business School, as well as our Executive Education branch.  Our programs are among the world´s best across all rankings.  For example, in 2009, our MBA Program was ranked 3^rd in Europe and 6^th worldwide (Financial Times), while the Executive Education Program reached 10^th place worldwide (Financial Times) and in 2008, The Economist ranked our MBA 10^th worldwide.  More rankings can be seen in our webpage by pointing at www.ie.edu

Our campus is located in the heart of the financial district in Madrid, Spain. The pleasure and convenience of living in the Spanish capital are hard to match.  Madrid has a superb infrastructure: plenty of urban parks and other urban amenities, a comprehensive public health system complemented by the private sector, a heavy emphasis on culture and cultural events, etc.  Public transportation is cheap and convenient, and closeness of the world's 11^th largest airport makes travel to any part of the world simple.

Despite growth and modernization, Madrid has preserved a local and pleasant feel of its historical neighborhoods. The city offers an exquisite, tolerant and cosmopolitan life-style, with an offering of the world´s top museums, music/theatre/dance/film festivals, sport events, and diversity of food stores, restaurants, shops, galleries, and indoor or outdoor activities to suit all tastes.  Yet, with a short commute one can live in the countryside, in one of the many quaint towns that surround Madrid. The increasing inflow of expatriates into the city has resulted in a growing number of private international schools, health services and other businesses serving this community.  As a political and economic centre of Spain –roughly, the 10^th largest economy worldwide- it hosts the headquarters of many Spanish and International companies, which enhances opportunities for research, executive education and consulting.

A requirement for the application is an earned Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship, Organizational Theory, Strategic Management, or related discipline, defended prior to joining.  While obviously useful, fluency in Spanish is not used as a determining factor in our hiring decisions.  Interested candidates are invited to submit a copy of their vita, example of academic writing and/or recent publications and 3 reference contacts.  Any evidence for demonstrated teaching record / abilities is a plus. Electronic submissions are preferred and should be sent to Ms. Andrade (viviana.andrade@ie.edu) at the office of Faculty Affairs, or electronically at https://secure.ie.edu/reclutamiento/ . 

We will be interviewing selected candidates at the AOM in Chicago.
