    The Management Department at the University of Central Florida is seeking applicants for a tenure track Assistant Professor position in Management, with expertise in Organizational Behavior, beginning August 2012.

    The Management Department at UCF includes the areas of Organizational Behavior, Strategy, and Entrepreneurship. Current faculty include Maureen Ambrose, Michael Ciuchta, Erwin Danneels, Robert Folger, Cameron Ford, Robert Ford, Stephen Goodman, Carol Saunders, and Marshall Schminke, reflecting strong scholarship across a broad array of research domains.
