H. J. Zoffer Chair at Pitt Business

Ethics in Business

The Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business and the College of Business Administration at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for the H. J. Zoffer Chair. This newly created chair, honoring Dean Emeritus H.J. Zoffer, is available beginning in September 2016 and focuses on ethics in business. The successful candidate will be a recognized scholar in any business or management area, with an outstanding research record that includes scholarship addressing topics relevant to the area of business ethics.  The successful candidate will also be an excellent teacher, with an interest in teaching business ethics to undergraduate, MBA and/or PhD students.

The Katz School and College of Business Administration seeks to strengthen its capability in and commitment to scholarship in ethics, broadly construed.  The ideal candidate will identify and drive research in ethics that contributes to and enhances our strong interdisciplinary focus.  Some examples of topic areas of interest for joint research with current faculty include business ethics and leadership, corporate social responsibility, organizational justice and voice, sustainability, information access and privacy, ethical decision-making and corporate governance.  Our goal is to advance research and teaching in ethics, and to promote interactions with both business and the non-profit sector. Our commitment to these goals is evidenced and supported by our Berg Center for Leadership and Ethics, which plays a powerful role in focusing faculty research and teaching efforts and building relationships with business and non-profit organizations.  

To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by February 14, 2016.  Application materials should be submitted electronically to http://www.katz.pitt.edu/facultyhiring/zoffer-chair.php and include a cover letter and curriculum vitae.
