Announcement
Assistant Professor Position in Strategy
The University of Amsterdam is looking to fill a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level in the field of strategy. The anticipated starting date is 1st September 2020.
Faculty members will be available to informally discuss this position during the 2019 SMS conference. For details of the application procedure, please see below.
The position is within the International Strategy & Marketing department. We are interested in candidates in strategy generally, but we are especially interested in candidates with research agendas related to (experimental) behavioral strategy, business and society topics, and/or the link between strategy and technology (in particular digital business and AI). An ability to teach in executive programs and/or to contribute to teaching on corporate strategy topics would be an advantage.
About the University, School, and Department
The University of Amsterdam (UvA) has a history that goes back to 1632. UvA is a broad-based research-driven university with an enrollment of over 30.000 students. The most recent QS ranking puts UvA in the top 60 universities world-wide and top 15 in Europe.
The University of Amsterdam Business School (ABS) is a relatively young institution. It was established in 2005 as a separate School within UvA's Faculty of Economics and Business and has since built a strong track record in both research and teaching. ABS offers undergraduate, graduate, and executive programs in management, accounting, finance, and marketing and has a triple accreditation (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS). Despite ABS's young age, the most recent QS ranking already puts UvA in the worldwide top 100 for Business & Management.
The International Strategy & Marketing (ISM) department currently houses around 40 faculty members, in addition to a number of PhD students, post-docs, and affiliated faculty. Since the establishment of ABS, the ISM department has grown substantially, and we anticipate further growth in the future. The department's research programme focuses on strategy, international business, and marketing in the broadest sense. A common, although not exclusive, interest within the department is the role of business in society. The department produces a steady stream of papers in internationally recognized journals, and members of the section have recently published in journals like the Academy of Management Annals, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Perspectives, Academy of Management Review, Administrative Science Quarterly, Business Ethics Quarterly, Business & Society, California Management Review, Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Management, Journal of Management Studies, Organization Science, Organization Studies, and Strategic Management Journal.
What we are looking for
We are looking for candidates who take their teaching seriously and have published, or are about to publish, in top-tier international journals, with visibility at major conferences and an active research agenda in the strategy field. We are particularly interested in ambitious team players who can help us further build our department and ABS more generally. A PhD in management or a related field is a requirement for all positions.
What we offer
The possibility to help shape a growing, research-driven, business school at an internationally recognized university that has the ambition to become a leading international player in the field of management research and education. ABS is located in the heart of Amsterdam, the cultural and financial capital of the Netherlands. Amsterdam offers a cosmopolitan living environment with excellent connections to the rest of the world.
Appointment at the assistant professor level will be on the basis of a tenure track position. Salary will be in accordance with Dutch academic salary scales and includes a pension scheme. For assistant professors the salary is between €3,475 and €5,405 per month (+16.3% holiday and end-year payments). A substantial reduction in income tax (equal to 30% of taxable salary) may apply to non-Dutch candidates.
Application procedure
Recruitment for this position is not yet formally open. We will announce details of the application procedure once it is opened.
However, ISM faculty are more than happy to already discuss this position, for instance at the upcoming SMS conference in Minneapolis. In addition to the possibility to informally discuss this position, we also have a limited number of slots for one-on-one interviews at SMS. If you would like to be considered for such an interview, please send your CV and a short motivation to Nathan Betancourt (n.e.betancourt@uva.nl) by October 12th. Shortlisted candidates for the SMS interviews will be notified by October 15th.
