    Department of Managerial Sciences
    Robinson College of Business
    Georgia State University
    Atlanta, Georgia

    The Robinson College of Business seeks applications and nominations for a
    tenure track faculty position in the area of entrepreneurship. Although
    rank is open, we intend to hire at the more senior level (full or
    associate). This position carries with it the Herman J. Russell
    Distinguished Professorship in Entrepreneurship. This position is an
    exceptional opportunity in entrepreneurship due to a combination of unique
    and attractive resources. The successful candidate will provide leadership
    in the internationally-renowned Herman J. Russell Sr. International Center
    for Entrepreneurship, working with an Administrative and Community Outreach
    Director of the Center, and will also play a role in the Robinson College
    Society of Entrepreneurs, an existing group of successful entrepreneurs
    from the Atlanta area who pay membership fees to participate in an
    educational roundtable. There are many outstanding faculty colleagues with
    interests in entrepreneurship and strategy in the Department of Managerial
    Sciences as well as in other units of the College, the University, and
    neighboring universities in the Atlanta area. The successful candidate will
    begin employment in Fall, 2008.

    Candidates must have an earned doctorate in a relevant field. The
    individual selected for this position is expected to be an eminent scholar
    with an international scholarly reputation, who will take a leadership role
    in furthering the research and educational missions of the department and
    college. Collegiality and a demonstrated ability to develop and work with
    others to define and conduct research are important. The position includes
    teaching at the graduate and/or undergraduate levels in the College’s
    academic programs. Interest and capability to contribute to executive
    programs is a plus. Salary, teaching loads, and other types of support are
    competitive with other research universities. The position is contingent
    upon final budget approval by the University.

    Georgia State University is located in the heart of Atlanta. Georgia
    State’s business school, accredited by the AACSB, is one of the largest in
    the country, and strongly supports entrepreneurship as a discipline. The
    College expects and supports faculty research leading to publication in top
    tier journals. Excellence in teaching is highly valued. In each of the
    last twelve years, our MBA program for working professionals has been
    ranked among the top ten part-time programs in the nation by U.S. News &
    World Report. Georgia State has an extensive evening program and has
    strong ties with the Atlanta business community, many of whom are alumni of
    the College. The Robinson College has approximately 5,000 undergraduate,
    1,500 master’s and 100 doctoral students.

    Applications received by November 15th 2007 are guaranteed full
    consideration; however, we will continue to review applications until the
    position is filled. To apply, email a letter of application and vita to:
