The Department of Management in the College of Business at Iowa State University is inviting applications for a tenured/tenure-track faculty position in strategy and related areas starting in August 2010. Appointments at all levels (assistant, associate, and full professor) will be considered. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or D.B.A. in strategy or a closely related field and have a scholarly research record as evidenced by publications in top-tier journals. The preferred candidate will have two years or more of teaching and research experience related to management strategy and possibly related areas (such as international strategy and/or corporate social responsibility), an ability to teach at undergraduate, Master's and Ph.D. levels, and an outstanding research record appropriate for advanced positions. Salary will be competitive and commensurate with qualifications.

The College of Business is accredited by AACSB International and is the third largest college at Iowa State with an enrollment of approximately 3,300 undergraduate (BS) and 300 graduate (MAcc, MBA, MSIS, and PhD) students. Iowa State University is a land-grant university with an enrollment of approximately 28,000 and is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities representing 62 major research universities in the US and Canada.  The College is housed in the Gerdin Business Building, constructed in 2003, which has state-of-the-art teaching technology and research facilities. The University library and computer facilities are world-class.

The faculty in the Department of Management includes Marc H. Anderson, Ginny Blackburn, Tom Chacko, Sam DeMarie, Pol Hermann, Roy Johnson, Jim McElroy, Paula Morrow, Andreas Schwab, Brad Shrader, Howard Van Auken, Jim Werbel, Robby White, and Jing Zhang. Our faculty members have recently published or had research accepted for publication in such top journals as Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Management, Journal of Management Studies, and Journal of Applied Psychology. The research interests of our faculty include strategic leadership, technological innovation and knowledge management, international business and entrepreneurship, business ethics, corporate governance, organizational learning processes in project venture settings, strategy and organizational performance, leadership, personality, social networks, managerial and organizational cognition and sense-making, virtual organizations, virtual teamwork, mitigation of the emerging student debt crisis, employee attitudes and behavior, work commitment, human resources management, and work and family issues.

Iowa State University is located in Ames, Iowa, a community of approximately 55,000 people located 35 miles from Des Moines, the state capital. Ames continually ranks very highly as a great place to live.  Our campus was rated one of America's 25 most beautiful in the book "The Campus as a Work of Art" and is home to the closely-allied U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Animal Disease Center, the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory (a major materials research and development facility), and the main offices of the Iowa State Department of Transportation. The ISU Research Park is a rapidly growing technology community of more than 50 companies, which offers great opportunities for research.

This college town is a fantastic place for families, with its low cost of living, safe environment, and friendly and hospitable community. In fact, Business Week recently listed it as one of the best places to raise kids. Outdoor lovers can enjoy more than 30 woodland parks and open spaces and 55 miles of bike and pedestrian trails, as well as the 14-acre Reiman Gardens, one of the largest public gardens in Iowa. Sports opportunities abound, with a brand new aquatic center that opens in late May of this year, five different golf courses, and opportunities for ice skating, cross country skiing, and boating in the many nearby lakes. Cultural opportunities are also part of the daily life of Ames, thanks to Stephens Auditorium, which regularly draws Broadway musicals and international symphonies.

The deadline for consideration is September 1, 2010.  Applications, however, will be accepted until the position is filled. 

Candidates should submit their applications using our online job site.
