Description:

The Wake Forest University School of Business is seeking qualified candidates for an advanced Assistant (i.e., at least three years post PhD), Associate, or Full Professor of Strategic Management. (Candidates who are recent PhD graduates or have fewer than three years of post PhD experience will not be considered.) The intended start date is July 1, 2027 or as negotiated. Ideal candidates will have exceptional records in teaching and scholarship and will be expected to publish high quality academic research as well as teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Strategic Management in multiple modalities.

Candidates should have a PhD (or its equivalent) in Strategic Management, or a related field, from an accredited institution and be able to provide evidence of prior teaching effectiveness. The position offers a competitive package of compensation and benefits.

Wake Forest University has a long tradition of excellence in market-relevant teaching, and the ideal candidate should demonstrate an ability to contribute to teaching and scholarship in the School of Business. The School of Business embraces the teacher-scholar model wherein our faculty produce original thought leadership that is visible and positively impacts practice. As a community of teacher-scholars, we systematically and rigorously seek answers to questions of high theoretical, practical, and/or pedagogical importance.

Thus, equally important to teaching excellence, candidates’ research should be of the highest quality, as evidenced by publications that address important issues in highly regarded outlets, including premier journals (such as those journals recognized by The Financial Times). Ideal candidates are accomplished teachers and scholars who have deeply considered the ways in which their scholarship can improve the practice of global business, demonstrate marketplace applications, and is in keeping with the University’s teacher-scholar model.

Through our teaching, faculty in the School of Business focus on educating the whole person, facilitating student acquisition of deep conceptual knowledge, the attainment of a broad set of professional competencies, and the development of a clear sense of professional identity and character. Therefore, we seek a colleague who subscribes to the teacher-scholar model, serves as an exemplary role model, and can demonstrate a commitment to teaching courses that develop students and advance knowledge.

Because we are preparing students to succeed and flourish in the profession, we seek to hire colleagues who understand the marketplace, desire to be deeply connected to it on a continuing basis through interaction, research, and engagement, and are committed to supporting our students as they prepare for and embark on fulfilling career trajectories.
