The Department of Management in the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas seeks applications from interested candidates for two Assistant Professor positions in any concentration of management (Strategic Management, Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, Entrepreneurship, Research Methods, Organization Theory, International Management), with an ideal search resulting in the hiring of one macro-oriented colleague and one micro-oriented colleague. We seek individuals who value collegiality, possess strong research records or potential, and have the ability to provide an excellent learning environment in the classroom.
Our department prides itself on an extremely collegial environment. Our tenure track faculty include Anne O'Leary-Kelly (Chair), Vikas Anand, John Delery, Alan Ellstrand, Nina Gupta, Jon Johnson, Carol Reeves, Chris Rosen, Don White, and Dan Worrell. Faculty consistently publish in top journals such as the Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, and Strategic Management Journal. Our faculty have been recipients of best paper awards from journals and conferences, have obtained large research grants from public and corporate sponsors, serve on editorial boards of top journals, and hold leadership positions in the Academy of Management. We have a strong doctoral program, with 11 full time students. Our most recent classes included students from five countries with an average GMAT score of over 700. The typical teaching load in the Walton College is four courses per year for assistant professors and junior faculty have minimal service responsibilities.
The Sam M. Walton College of Business is one of the fastest growing colleges in the region with a current enrollment of over 3500 students. Recently the University of Arkansas completed a campaign that raised over one billion dollars in private contributions, with the Walton College receiving two hundred and twenty million dollars in gifts and endowments. The funds received have been used to establish several scholarships, endowed chairs, summer research funds, and also to install state of the art classroom technology in the College. The College recently completed work on Willard J. Walker Hall, which houses our Graduate School of Business. The recently released 2009 U.S. News and World Report ranked the Walton College's undergraduate program in a tie for 24th place among all public universities, and the college is among the top 45 of all public and private undergraduate business schools.
We are located in Fayetteville, which offers an idyllic rural/urban mixed environment and is nestled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains. The area is part of the fast growing Northwest Arkansas Region with a current population of over 350,000. A 2007 Forbes study placed the Northwest Arkansas area as eighth on its list of the top places for business and careers; a 2009 Forbes.com study of areas best placed to recover from the current economic recession identified Northwest Arkansas as #2 in the country. Several other recent rankings have identified the area as among the ten best places to live. The Fayetteville region boasts a low crime rate, low unemployment rate, and an outstanding public school system. Growth in the region has been propelled by the presence of large corporations such as Wal-Mart, J.B, Hunt, and Tyson Foods. In addition, the area has emerged as a major hub of Wal-Mart retail vendors, providing for many job opportunities in the region. The Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport offers frequent and reasonably priced non-stop flights to many major U.S. cities. The area features a variety of outdoor recreational activities with the river valleys to the north and south offering excellent hiking and canoeing opportunities.
Interested candidates should send a detailed CV, three letters of reference, and copies of papers as appropriate. Doctoral students who expect to complete their Ph. D. by August 2010 should send a brief description of their dissertation and the expected timeline for completion. Completion of the doctoral degree is expected prior to employment for both positions being offered. The University of Arkansas is committed to creating a more diverse and inclusive campus in which to work, study, teach and serve. Therefore, we are especially interested in applications from qualified candidates who would contribute to the diversity of our college and programs. All complete applications received by October 1st, 2009 will be provided full consideration.
