The European Business School (EBS) in Wiesbaden/Oestrich-Winkel is pursuing a dynamic course of international expansion. Consistently ranked among the leading business schools in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Germany</st1:country-region></st1:place>, EBS offers high-quality teaching and research and sets new standards in executive education. Inspired by the work of Nobel Prize Winner Prof. Muhammad Yunus, and on the basis of generous funding received from Danone, the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">European</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Business</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype></st1:place> is seeking to appoint two new faculty members in the area of

Social Business

We seek to fill one of these positions with an experienced candidate who will take up the Danone Endowed Chair of Social Business. The other position, which will also be associated with this Chair, should be filled by an assistant professor. Please indicate on your application for which position you wish to apply, and at which rank.

We are looking for candidates with an established track record of research, professional achievement and significant experience in the area of social business or a closely related field (e.g. social entrepreneurship; management of non-profit organisations; microfinance; corporate responsibility). A completed doctoral degree in a relevant field from a leading university or business school is required. For a position at the senior level, we are interested in exceptional scholars with a demonstrated track record of published research, teaching and professional experience in the area of social business. Specifically, we expect the holder of the Danone Endowed Chair of Social Business to have the credibility and initiative to represent the idea of social business in the public, and to take active steps to foster public awareness around the importance of social businesses and the social business movement at large. For a position at the assistant professor level, we expect clear evidence of potential for high-quality teaching and research in this area.

Both positions are part of the Department of Strategy, Organization and Leadership at EBS, which offers a vibrant and collaborative research environment. Core and adjunct members of the department come from internationally renowned schools (e.g., London School of Economics, Indian Institute of Management), have published in top journals in the management field (Academy of Management Journal, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Journal of Management, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Strategic Management Journal, etc.) and are active in the international academic community through their membership in the editorial boards of leading journals and leadership roles in the Academy of Management and other organisations. The department is also home to faculty members in the area of philosophy who are directing the studium universale which is characteristic of EBS.  

Our aim is to fill these vacancies by autumn 2010. The application deadline is April 30, 2010. Please send/e-mail a CV including publication list and evidence of teaching capabilities, a statement regarding research and teaching objectives, and the names/contact details of three referees to:
