Dear fellow Entrepreneurship scholars,
An exciting opportunity for those who obtained their PhD in the last 10
years. The Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba is
seeking applications to fill a Canada Research Chair in
Entrepreneurship. The position will have minimal teaching requirements
and a sizable annual research budget. Applications need to be received
by February 26. If you are interested, please read on.
Best wishes,
Nathan Greidanus, Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship
Asper School of Business, University of Manitoba
The University of Manitoba seeks to recruit and to nominate a Tier 2
Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The CRC
program was established by the Government of Canada to enable Canadian
universities to foster world-class research excellence
(http://www.chairs.gc.ca). The University of Manitoba is committed to
becoming the university of choice for those who wish to study business
innovation, technology commercialization, and entrepreneurship. The
University has the Stu Clark Centre for Entrepreneurship
http://www.umanitoba.ca/entrepreneur/) to encourage the development of
new businesses and entrepreneurial thinking, a vibrant Technology
Transfer Office focusing on University intellectual property
(http://www.umanitoba.ca/research/tto/), a 40 hectare research and
technology community known as SmartPark
(http://umanitoba.ca/research/smartpark/vision/index.html), and an
incubator for entrepreneurs called the Eureka Project
(http://umanitoba.ca/research/smartpark/theeurekaproject.html).
Candidates must have an established research record with demonstrated
potential of becoming a world leader in entrepreneurship or
technological innovation. A PhD in a social science or business-related
discipline will be required and candidates must be 10 years or less as
of November 2010 from PhD graduation. They should have a demonstrated
commitment to interdisciplinary research and to teaching. The
appointment will be tenured or tenure track at the Assistant or
Associate Professor level and the successful applicant will have limited
teaching responsibilities and generous research funding available for
the duration of the five-year CRC appointment.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop a research program
and maintain a highly productive research agenda, provide effective
teaching and supervision to graduate research students, and play a
leadership role in entrepreneurship initiatives in the Asper School of
Business. The primary focus of the proposed CRC will be comparative,
inter-disciplinary and collaborative research on current and emerging
issues in entrepreneurship and technological innovation, drawing on one
or more foundational social scientific disciplines (e.g., psychology,
sociology, economics, applied mathematics).
The Asper School of Business has a rich and diverse research culture
with working groups focusing on research and teaching excellence in a
number of areas including Financial Markets, Human Resource Management,
Consumer Behaviour, Transportation and Supply Chain Management, and
Entrepreneurship and Innovation
(http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/management/research/activities.html). The
University of Manitoba has about 26,000 students and 90 degree programs.
It is situated in Winnipeg, a culturally diverse city of almost 700,000
people. Winnipeg offers a high quality of life and affordable, easy
access to some of the most beautiful lake country and recreational
facilities in North America.
The University of Manitoba encourages applications from qualified men
and women, including members of visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples,
and persons with disabilities. Women are particularly encouraged to
apply or to be nominated. All qualified candidates are encouraged to
apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
Applicants should send a covering letter, curriculum vitae, brief (1-3
page) five-year research program, and the names and contact information
for three references to
Dr. Nick Turner, Associate Dean, at
nick_turner@umanitoba.ca
or Asper School of Business, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg,
Manitoba,R3T 5V4, Canada.
Applications, including letters of reference, will be handled in
accordance with The [Manitoba] Freedom of Information and Privacy Act.
Application deadline is February 26, 2010. All CRC nominees are subject
to review and final approval by the CRC Secretariat. The anticipated
start date is July 1, 2011.
