ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR AND TECHNOLOGY/ENTREPRENEURSHIP POSITION
ANNOUNCEMENTS
(apologies for multiple postings)
Management and Human Resources Department
Wisconsin Business School
University of Wisconsin-Madison
The Management and Human Resources (MHR) Department in the Wisconsin
Business School at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is recruiting for
two positions for Fall 2008: one in organizational behavior and one in
technology/ entrepreneurship. Salary and benefits for the positions are
competitive and based on applicant qualifications and experience.
Organizational Behavior applicants: The position requires a proven ability
to generate OB research at the quality level of top-tier journals. We are
particularly interested in applicants at the mid to advanced assistant
professor level with a publication record in top journals, although the
position is open to pre- and post-tenure candidates. In addition,
demonstrated teaching effectiveness is required, and candidates will be
expected to contribute to the teaching of undergraduate, MBA, and Ph.D.
courses. Applicants with research and teaching interests that extend
beyond OB (e.g., to HR, strategy/OT, or entrepreneurship) are of
particular interest to us. Both research and teaching are evaluated and
heavily weighted in our performance appraisal and tenure review
processes. Candidates should have a Ph.D. (by August, 2008).
Technology/entrepreneurship applicants: The position requires a proven
ability to generate research in top-tier management/social science
journals with relevance to entrepreneurship and technology
management/policy. We are particularly interested in a senior candidate
with a publication record in top journals who can join the university as a
Full or Associate Professor and play a lead role in scholarship in this
area. In addition, demonstrated teaching effectiveness is required, and
candidates will be expected to contribute to the teaching of
undergraduate, MBA, and Ph.D. courses, sometimes including students from
across the campus. Candidates must have an active interest in
participating in Wisconsin’s cross-campus Initiative for Studies in
Technology Entrepreneurship (INSITE). Candidates should have a Ph.D. (by
August 2008).
Current tenure track members of the MHR Department include Ray Aldag,
Mason Carpenter, Cynthia Devers, Randy Dunham, Jonathan Eckhardt, Barry
Gerhart, Larry Hunter, Sanjay Jain, Anne Miner, Alex Stajkovic, Ann
Terlaak, and Charlie Trevor. The MHR faculty maintains strong links at the
graduate level with faculty and students in Sociology, Engineering,
Economics, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Law, Medicine,
and Psychology. The faculty also maintains programmatic connections to the
M.S. in Biotechnology program and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
that handles technology transfer for UW-Madison.
The Wisconsin Business School recently received a unique “naming” gift
from a group of dedicated alumni. This gift, totaling $85 million, will
help enhance recruiting, retaining, and facilitating the success of a
world-class faculty. The School is housed in Grainger Hall, a $40+ million
state-of-the-art facility and an addition to Grainger Hall will open in
Fall of '08. The Fluno Center, a $28-million Executive Education Facility,
opened in Spring 2000 and permits the offering of a range of executive-
level programs.
The University of Wisconsin is a world-class institution, and many
departments with which the Wisconsin Business School faculty interact,
including Sociology and Economics, are ranked among the top in their
areas. Recent national rankings have placed UW-Madison in the top 3 for
number of doctorates conferred, total research expenditures, and academic
reputation among public universities. UW tied for first in number of CEO
alumni running S&P 500 companies, and has been first in Peace Corps
volunteers.
The campus has a long tradition of supporting innovation and
entrepreneurship. The MHR department co-sponsors INSITE, which promotes
research and education across campus, including new course development, an
international research conference and campus-wide competitions. The
department offers undergraduate, MBA and PhD entrepreneurship programs,
with its Weinert Center for Entrepreneurship a key hub of activity. UW is
home to WARF, the oldest technology transfer office in the United States,
and will expand its successful research park and incubator activity.
Madison is a beautiful city on the isthmus between Lakes Mendota and
Monona, and the popular business press consistently ranks it among the
best places to live in America. It has been named one of the best cities
for outdoor enthusiasts and in which to raise children. It has outstanding
health care, schools, and recreational opportunities. The Overture Center,
a $200+ million complex near campus, provides a variety of exciting
cultural and entertainment options along with independent theaters,
including the open-air American Players Theatre in nearby Spring Green.
Interested individuals should e-mail a letter of interest along with a
vita as soon as possible. Indicate which position – OB or
Entrepreneurship - you are applying for. Additional materials can follow
