    applications for the position of the Jennifer Petters Chair in Asian
    Business. A national search is underway to attract to campus an

    emphasis on China.

    Applicants should have a terminal degree (Ph.D., D.B.A., or J.D.) and a
    distinguished and ongoing record of both teaching and research in an
    area of international business that would merit appointment as a tenured

    applicant will also have demonstrated effectiveness in program
    development and the ability to interact with a wide range of
    constituents including faculty, administration, students,alumni, and the
    business community (both domestic and international). Applicants with a
    working knowledge of Mandarin will be viewed favorably.

    Miami University is participating in a multi-university collaborative
    effort to develop a Living and Learning Center in Shanghai in
    conjunction with the Petters Group Worldwide. The proposed residential
    center will constitute an educational facility to serve academic and
    business communities worldwide. The Petters Chair is expected to play an
    important role in the development of the learning center. In addition to
    leading a major strategic initiative of the School, the chair will serve
    as a member of the Petters Center for Ethics, Leadership, and
    Professional Skills Development. The compensation package is
    commensurate with qualifications.

    To apply for the position, submit a letter of application, a curriculum
    vitae, and the names of three references. The committee will be
    interviewing candidates at the Academy of Management, American
    Accounting Association, American Marketing Association, Financial

    be considered for an interview at any of these meetings, candidates must
    submit their credentials no later than three weeks before the start of
