    Greetings colleagues,

    I'm writing to inform you that we (the School of Management at George
    Mason University) are looking for a colleague with expertise in business
    ethics and one of the traditional business disciplines. BOTH are
    required - an expert in business ethics who cannot teach in one of the
    traditional business disciplines is very unlikely to be hired, and
    neither is a disciplinary expert with no real expertise in some aspect
    of business ethics, broadly construed. The person we hire will take a
    lead position in focusing our attention on business ethics.

    The full position announcement is copied below and can be found on the
    AOM Placement Service website. The position is open level and open
    discipline. Feel free to drop me a line or give me a ring if you'd like
    more information.

    Cheers,
    David
