AUSTRALIAN GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT (AGSM)
Faculty Positions in Strategic Management
AGSM seeks to fill at least one mid-level or senior faculty
position in Strategic Management and one junior level
position. Although we prefer to fill the senior position
at the Full Professor level we will also consider strong
candidates at the Associate Professor rank.
JOB QUALIFICATIONS:
Potential senior colleagues should possess a proven
capacity to publish their research in tier-1 refereed
journals, to provide leadership for junior faculty and
doctoral students in strategy, and to teach top-caliber
students in a leading business school. Junior scholars are
expected to have the potential to develop an effective
quality research program with a high likelihood and desire
to play on a global stage. Junior position applicants are
expected to have recently completed their PhD or to be in
the position to complete that degree by the time they take
up the position. Senior candidates must have earned a PhD
(or equivalent) and have an excellent publication record
and the potential to move into a leadership position in the
School.
ABOUT AGSM:
AGSM, located in Sydney with a program in Hong Kong, is the
premier business school in Australia, and a leader in
management research and graduate education throughout Asia
and Oceania. We offer a range of graduate programs,
including full-time MBA, executive MBA, corporate programs,
and a doctoral program. Forbes Magazine recently rated us
as the fifth best non-US business school in the world and
our Executive MBA program is rated by the Financial Times
as 31st in world which includes a research ranking of 28th
in the world. The AGSM's faculty is consistently recognized
internationally for its research excellence. Over the last
few years, we have published consistently in such leading
journals as Academy of Management Review, Strategic
Management Journal, Journal of International Business
Studies, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization,
Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes,
Harvard Business Review, and California Management Review.
Current members of the strategy group include: Jeremy Davis
(MA Stanford), Timothy Devinney (PhD Chicago), Geoff
Eagleson (PhD Sydney), Shayne Gary (PhD London), Anna
Gunnthorsdottir (PhD Arizona), Dan Lovallo (PhD Berkeley),
J Peter Murmann (PhD Columbia), Thomas Powell (PhD NYU),
Geoff Waring (PhD UCLA), and Phil Yetton (PhD CMU).
FURTHER INFORMATION:
We have no dominant philosophical orientation and would
consider candidates for any position (junior or senior)
with strong training in economics, psychology, sociology,
strategy and other related disciplines. Candidates with a
less direct 'management' orientation with a desire to move
into management applications of basic disciplinary
approaches will also be considered.
The remuneration package is globally competitive and
teaching loads are very attractive for supporting research
productivity. Teaching loads generally offer the
opportunity to spend half the year in undisturbed research
activities, with the potential of a sabbatical after only
three years of employment.
ABOUT SYDNEY:
Sydney is recognized as one of the most livable, beautiful,
and vibrant cities on the planet. It plays a major part in
Australia's economy, accounting for over 25% of Australia's
total economic activity. The city is Australia's undisputed
financial centre, with 65% of Australia's finance industry
located here, including the Reserve Bank, the Australian
Stock Exchange and the Sydney Futures Exchange. The strong
economic mix encompasses services, manufacturing and mining
with financial, property and retail services together
accounting for over 80% of total economic output. Financial
and business services accounts for 47.1% of the city's
workforce. Multinationals with Asian-Pacific headquarters
here include 3M, American Express, AMP, Boral Ltd, BT,
Coca-Cola Amatil, Compuserve, HJ Heinz, IBM, Microsoft,
Mastercard, Price Waterhouse Coopers, TNT Ltd and Unilever.
Of the nation's top 100 companies, 60% have headquarters in
Sydney. Sydney was also recently named by the LA Times as
the world's most innovative city with respect to culinary
arts and those with a penchant for wine, opera, sailing and
any of a host of other activities need look no further than
their front door.
