University of Oregon
Position and Qualifications. The Department of Management in the Lundquist
College of Business seeks to fill two tenure-track positions for Fall 2010,
one at Open Rank and the second at the Assistant Professor rank.
Open Rank: Excellence in research is of primary importance, and candidates
whose research programs link to the College's strategic initiatives in the
areas of sustainable business practices or entrepreneurship, technology, and
innovation are of particular interest. Candidates for Assistant Professor
must have completed or nearly completed requirements for the Ph.D. degree
and provide evidence of potential teaching and research excellence.
Candidates for Associate or Full Professor must possess a record of
consistent placement of articles in premier scholarly journals and
demonstrated teaching competence. Appointment with tenure requires formal
review. There is the possibility of an endowed position for outstanding
senior candidates.
Senior candidates whose scholarly focus is on entrepreneurship, technology,
and innovation are eligible to be considered for appointment as Academic
Director of the Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship (LCE). The LCE is
headed by a Managing Director responsible for administration and operations.
The LCE, a catalyst for entrepreneurship scholarship and education at the
Lundquist College of Business, was recognized in 2008 by Entrepreneurship
Magazine and the Princeton Review as one of the nation¹s top 25 graduate
programs in entrepreneurship. In addition, the LCE supports strong
undergraduate and doctoral entrepreneurship programs, and the center¹s
annual New Venture Championship international business plan competition has
been named by Business Week as one of the top three in the nation.
Assistant Professor: Excellence in research is of primary importance, and
candidates whose research programs link to the College¹s strategic
initiatives in the areas of a) entrepreneurship, technology, and innovation;
b) sustainable business practices; c) sports business; and d) securities
analysis are of particular interest. Candidates must have completed or
nearly completed requirements for the Ph.D. degree and provide evidence of
potential teaching and research excellence.
For both positions, the successful candidate will possess the scholarly
ability and drive to conduct and publish research in premier journals and
the passion to teach with rigor and effectiveness. Teaching responsibilities
include courses consistent with the candidate¹s background and interests,
and typically include a mix of required and elective courses.
Management Department. The Lundquist College¹s Department of Management is
a collegial group whose members publish in and serve on the editorial review
boards of the top management journals. The department includes two past
presidents of the Academy of Management, Rick Mowday and Bill Starbuck, and
a number of early career scholars who are demonstrating research excellence.
The Department is housed in the environmentally certified Lillis Business
Complex, a facility that offers the latest in instructional technology and
research support.
The Community. Eugene often appears on lists of the most livable
communities in the country. It enjoys the cultural amenities of a larger
city, hosting concerts that span the musical spectrum, the world famous Bach
Festival, and many other festivals and celebrations. Recreational
possibilities abound, ranging from cycling Eugene¹s extensive network of
bicycle paths to hiking picturesque trails to playing local golf courses.
Eugene lies within 90 minutes of alpine and Nordic skiing, as well as the
scenic Oregon coast.
