    Apologies for any cross postings.

    The Department of Management in the Pamplin College of Business at
    Virginia Tech seeks applicants to fill a tenure track faculty position in
    Organizational Behavior (OB) at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full
    Professor. (Visiting appointments will also be considered.)

    The Department of Management consists of 16 full-time faculty members with
    an impressive range of research and teaching expertise in micro- and macro-
    areas of management. We encourage intellectual discussions that cut
    across traditional research areas. We expect our faculty to actively
    engage in high quality research that is publishable in top outlets, and we
    support these efforts.

    Candidates should have: (1) a doctorate in Management or a related field
    (or be in the final stages of completing such a doctorate) with a
    specialization in OB from an AACSB accredited school , (2) a strong
    program of scholarly research consistent with the rank applied for, and
    (3) instructional capabilities at the undergraduate, MBA and doctoral
    levels. The candidate should have a demonstrated commitment to excellence
    in research and teaching in OB.

    The position will be in Blacksburg, which is located in the Blue Ridge
    Mountains near the Appalachian Trail. Blacksburg’s beauty and temperate
    climate is attractive to many. Blacksburg also has high quality primary
    and secondary schools (K-12) as well as a relatively low cost of living.

    The Pamplin College of Business offers majors in accounting and
    information systems, business information technology, economics, finance,
    hospitality and tourism management, management, and marketing. Its on-
    campus enrollment is about 3,600 undergraduates and about 290 full-time
    graduate students in the MBA, Master of Accounting and Information
    Systems, Master of Hospitality and Tourism Management, and Ph.D. programs.
    The college enrolls about 125 evening MBA and about 55 executive MBA
    students at Virginia Tech’s Northern Virginia Center in metropolitan
    Washington, D.C., and about 50 professional MBA students, who take classes
    that alternate between Roanoke and Richmond.

    Candidates are invited to complete the first two pages of the online
    application at http://listings.jobs.vt.edu:80/postings/38642 posting
