The Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business and College of Business Administration (Pitt Business), University of Pittsburgh, seeks candidates to fill a full-time, tenure-track assistant professor position in the Organizations and Entrepreneurship (O&E) Area starting as early as Fall, 2024. We are seeking to fill a position in strategic management.
Pit Business houses several strong master's and undergraduate business programs. The Katz MBA is consistently ranked among the top 25 U.S. public programs. The Katz Ph.D. program is well regarded across all disciplines, including Strategy. The PhD program is complemented by a recently launched Executive DBA program. The University of Pittsburgh maintains a strong research profile, with over $1 billion in research expenditures in 2022. We are embedded in a thriving business community that has experienced significant technology innovation and entrepreneurship activity in the last decade. Pittsburgh is also an attractive metropolitan area in which to live, with an active arts and restaurant culture befitting a much larger city.
The O&E Area plays a vital role in enabling Pitt Business to fulfill its purpose and realize its aspirations. Pitt Business's strategic plan identifies three "Paths to Distinction"-thematic strengths in the domains of the health sciences industry, digital transformation, and societal impact. The research foci of faculty and the Centers managed by O&E faculty-David Berg Center for Ethics and Leadership, Center for Healthcare Management, Business of Humanity® Project, and Center for Sustainable Business-align closely with and support these three Paths to Distinction. O&E faculty are very active in external academic contexts. They hold significant editorial positions in management journals and also hold senior positions in the Academy of Management including the Presidency.
The appointment requires a strong commitment to excellence in scholarly research in strategic management and the related areas of entrepreneurship and innovation. Alignment of the candidate's research with Pitt Business's Paths to Distinction would be a plus. Candidates are required to have completed PhDs in the area of strategy or closely related disciplines prior to joining our faculty.
