ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR FACULTY POSITION
OVERVIEW: The Wake Forest University School of Business is seeking qualified candidates for a Fall 2015 tenured/tenure-track faculty appointment in Organizational Behavior (OB). This individual will be expected to teach courses in our undergraduate and/or graduate programs, including the Full Time MBA, Working Professional MBA, and Master of Arts in Management programs; conduct research that has the potential to be published in high quality journals; and provide service to the OB area, School, and/or University. All ranks will be considered but strong preference will be given to qualified candidates at the experienced Assistant or early Associate rank. The position offers a highly competitive package of compensation and benefits.
JOB QUALIFICATIONS: Wake Forest has a long tradition of excellence in teaching, and the ideal candidate should demonstrate an ability to contribute to the teaching quality of the School of Business. The School of Business focuses on educating the whole person with our faculty members facilitating students' acquisition of deep conceptual knowledge, their attainment of a broad set of professional competencies, and their development of a clear sense of professional identity and character. Therefore, we seek student-centric colleagues who subscribe to this holistic educational philosophy, serve as exemplary role models, and can demonstrate a commitment to teaching courses that develop students in all three of these areas.
Wake Forest embraces the teacher-scholar model wherein our faculty produce original thought leadership that is visible and positively impacts the practice of management. As a community of teacher-scholars, we systematically and rigorously seek answers to questions of high theoretical, practical, and/or pedagogical importance. Thus, equally important to teaching excellence, candidates' research should be of the highest quality, as evidenced by publications that address important business issues in premier journals highly regarded by the marketplace (such as those journals recognized by the Financial Times and Bloomberg Businessweek). The ideal candidate is an accomplished teacher and scholar who can demonstrate connections to the business world and whose record is in keeping with the University's teacher-scholar model
(www.wfu.edu/faculty/prospective).
Importantly, because the School of Business exudes a performance-based, collegial culture, we seek a colleague who has demonstrated an ability to thrive in, constructively engage with, and enhance such an environment.
