The Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Strategic Entrepreneurship is expected to assume a leadership role in research and teaching initiatives in the area of entrepreneurship and strategy.
We seek applicants who have exceptionally strong and recognized research records in the entrepreneurship area for appointment at the assistant or associate professor level. Eligibility for CRC Tier II applicants is targeted towards scholars who completed their highest degree within the last 10 years (may be longer in the case of justified circumstances). Concordia University requires applicants for tenured or tenure-track positions to have completed a PhD or the appropriate terminal degree in the specified discipline. Applicants should have demonstrated a record of research productivity and will typically occupy either a junior associate or senior assistant professorship position. The CRC in Strategic Entrepreneurship is sponsored by the Government of Canada. Tier II CRCs, tenable for five years and renewable once, are for exceptional emerging researchers, acknowledged by their peers as having the potential to lead in their field.
The CRC will be located in the Department of Management and affiliated with the entrepreneurship and family business group. The department is particularly interested in attracting scholars researching issues associated with ownership transitions and the revitalization of established businesses. The Department is also seeking to expand the scope of the group's expertise into prominent strategic entrepreneurship areas such as, but not limited to, technology-based startups, creativity, invention, and business model innovation. There are at least four members in the Department currently involved on research related to entrepreneurship and family business, including a Concordia University Research Chair (Tier 1) and a CIBC Distinguished Professor. Members of the group have active research agendas and have published in mainstream general management journals such as Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Management, Journal of Management Studies, and Strategic Management Journal as well as leading entrepreneurship journals including Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Family Business Review, Journal of Business Venturing, and Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal.
Additional selection criteria include successful teaching experience at all levels, including work with graduate students and research fellows. Communication skills in French would be an asset. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
