    The Department of Management in the Pamplin College of Business at Virginia Tech seeks applications for one or more tenure-track open-rank faculty positions in management to begin August 2020. We prefer applicants with specialization in strategic management whose research matches our faculty's interests in the areas of innovation, entrepreneurship, technology management, international business, or business ethics, but we also encourage senior-level candidates with research interest in OB/HR to apply. 

    We are especially interested in senior candidates (full professor or senior associate professor), and women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. A candidate's experience and research credentials will be the basis for the determination of the rank of appointment.To be considered for associate or full professor level, candidates must have recent publications in elite management journals and evidence of working with and mentoring to doctoral students and junior faculty. 

    Candidates should have: (1) a doctorate in Management or a closely related field (or be in the final state of completing such a doctorate) from an AACSB accredited school; (2) strong program of scholarly research with demonstrated success and potential to publish in elite management journals; and (3) instructional capabilities at the undergraduate, MBA, and doctoral levels. The successful candidate will have evidence of high impact scholarly research through publications or advanced stage review at top journals. 

    The Department of Management consists of 26 full-time faculty members with an impressive range of research and teaching expertise in all areas of management. We encourage intellectual discussions that cut across traditional research areas. We expect and support our faculty to pursue high quality research that is publishable in top journals.
