    Dear colleague,

    We in the Management group in the School of Management at George Mason
    University have opened a search for a seasoned scholar in the area of
    Organizational Behavior/ Human Resource Management to join us in Fall
    2007. Should you know of an appropriate candidate, I invite you to
    forward this announcement to them.

    Candidates must have at least two years of full-time faculty experience
    at the time of application. ABD candidates will not be considered.
    Appointment may be at any level, with tenure being possible for
    associate and full professors. Salary will be commensurate with
    experience and rank.

    Additional qualifications are: (1) an earned doctorate in a business or
    related discipline. (2) a track record of publishing significant
    research in top-tier OB/HR journals, and (3) the immediate ability to
    teach effectively at all levels, particularly at the MBA and EMBA
    levels. We are especially interested in candidates who are prepared to
    teach courses on Change Management or on Leadership at the executive level.

    We welcome conversations with potential candidates at the upcoming
    Academy of Management annual meeting in Atlanta. Persons who wish to
    arrange a meeting should contact any of the following members of the
    search committee to make arrangements: Search Chair David Kravitz,

    The Management group has 13 tenured and tenure-track faculty in the areas of
    Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, Strategic
    Management, and Business Law. In addition, the Dean of the School of

    close relationship with George Mason University’s excellent
    Industrial/Organizational Psychology group. We offer a vibrant,
    ambitious and collegial research and teaching community. Our business
    community offers excellent opportunities for the conduct of field
    research and the School of Management operates its own Human Subjects
