    The Technical University of Munich (TUM) invites applications for an open rank professorship (Tenure Track Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Full Professor) in Organizational Behavior & Human Resources as soon as possible.

    We are looking to hire international talents, early in their career, as tenure track assistant professors (W2 fixed term position with tenure track to a tenured W3 position), as well as exceptional applications for a tenured W3 position as associate or full professor. The professorship is endowed by the Dieter Schwarz Foundation and will be located in Heilbronn, Germany.

     Academic Environment

    The professorship will be assigned to the TUM School of Management and is affiliated with the Marketing, Strategy and Leadership Department. The position is assigned to the TUM Campus Heilbronn and the professorship should become a part of the Global Center for Family Enterprise. The school is currently listed one of the strongest German business schools for research. We aim to create real impact through our research contributing to solving humanity's greatest challenges. Existing members of the business school publish regularly in top management, business, economics, and general science journals. The school appreciates interdisciplinary research and also has close ties to industry providing promising opportunities for collaboration.

     Responsibilities

    The responsibilities include research and teaching as well as the promotion of PhD students and post-docs. We seek to appoint an expert in the research area of organizational behavior and/or human resource management, with a special focus on family enterprises. The successful candidate's research focus should be complementary to the broader areas of TUM, TUM School of Management, and/or the members of the Global Center for Family Enterprise. Teaching responsibilities include courses in the university's bachelor and master's programs. TUM values experience in executive teaching. Moreover, the successful candidate has the unique chance to substantially shape the recently established Global Center for Family Enterprise and the new study programs at TUM Campus Heilbronn.

A university degree and an outstanding doctoral degree as well as pedagogical aptitude, including the ability to teach in English, are also prerequisites. Substantial research experience abroad and – for more senior faculty members– an extensive, international research network are expected. Candidates for as-sociate or full professorship are expected to have the proven ability to gain and to lead cooperative research projects and to attracting third-party funding (DFG, EU, AiF).
