Positions in the <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Strategy</st1:placename> and Entrepreneurship, the <st1:placename w:st="on">Australian</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype> of Business, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Sydney</st1:city></st1:place>.
The <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Strategy</st1:placename></st1:place> and Entrepreneurship (formerly the General Management Group at the AGSM) seeks to fill at least one senior faculty position and one junior level position in Strategic Management or Entrepreneurship. Although we prefer to fill the senior position at the Full Professor level we will also consider strong candidates at the Associate Professor rank. Potential senior colleagues should possess a proven capacity to publish their research in tier-1 refereed journals, to provide leadership for junior faculty and doctoral students in strategy and entrepreneurship, and to teach students in a leading business school. Junior scholars are expected to have the potential to develop a quality research program and have the desire to play on a global stage. Junior position applicants are expected to have recently completed their PhD or to be in the position to complete that degree by the time they take up the position.
The <st1:placename w:st="on">Australian</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype> of Business at UNSW was recently formed as a union of the AGSM and Faculty of Commerce and Economics at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">New South Wales</st1:placename></st1:place>. The school, located in <st1:city w:st="on">Sydney</st1:city> with an MBA program in Hong Kong, is the premier business school in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region>, and a leader in management research and graduate education throughout Asia and <st1:place w:st="on">Oceania</st1:place>. We offer a range of graduate programs, including full-time and executive MBA's, a Master of Commerce, a doctoral program, and we are quite active in executive education. Forbes Magazine recently rated us as the fifth best non-US business school in the world. Our full time MBA program is ranked within the world's top 50 business schools by the Financial Times and our EMBA is ranked 23rd in the world, which includes a research ranking of 28.
The <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Strategy</st1:placename></st1:place> and Entrepreneurship's faculty is internationally recognized for its research excellence. Over the last few years, we have published consistently in such leading journals as Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Organization Science, Research Policy, Industrial and Corporate Change, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Harvard Business Review, and California Management Review. Faculty have also published prize winning books. Current members of the strategy group include: Timothy Devinney (PhD Chicago), Graham Dowling (PhD UNSW), Geoff Eagleson (PhD Sydney), Shayne Gary (PhD London), Anna Gunnthorsdottir (PhD <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Arizona</st1:state></st1:place>), Elizabeth Maitland (PhD Melbourne), J Peter Murmann (PhD Columbia) (Head of School), Salih Ozdemir (PhD Chicago), Yue Wang (PhD Melbourne), and Phil Yetton (PhD CMU).
We have no dominant philosophical orientation and would consider candidates for any position (junior or senior) with strong training in strategy, entrepreneurship, economics, psychology, sociology, innovation studies and other related disciplines. Candidates with a less direct 'management' orientation with a desire to move into management applications of basic disciplinary approaches will also be considered.
The remuneration package is globally competitive and teaching loads are very attractive for supporting research productivity. Teaching loads generally offer the opportunity to spend half the year in undisturbed research activities, with the potential of a sabbatical break after only three years of employment.
