Apologies for Cross Postings
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.
