Discussion: View Thread

The Management and Organization Department in the Smeal College of Business at Penn State has two full-time, tenure-track positions open at the assistant or associate level:  (1) Strategic Management and (2) Organizational Behavior.  For the strategy position, we prefer candidates who have some internationally-oriented research interests and/or who can teach our MBA-level core strategy course.  For the OB position, we prefer candidates who have teaching interests in the areas of ethics or social issues in management.  Strong preference will be given to candidates with publications in premier journals, who have high-impact research programs underway, and who are able to connect with a wide array of management department colleagues.
 
The application deadline is October 15, 2007, or until the positions are filled.  Please send all application materials electronically (pdf or MS-Word files), including letter of interest, CV, selected publications, and three recommendation letters to (1) smsearch2007@email.smeal.psu.edu, or (2) obsearch2007@email.smeal.psu.edu.
