The DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University, invites applications
for a tenure-track or appointment with tenure in the Strategic Management
Area. Rank is open but preference will be given to Associate and Full
Professor candidates. The appointment will commence July 1, 2017, although

Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated competency in

The DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University recently adopted a
new Strategic Plan with a mission to foster interdisciplinary thinking and
evidence-based management to transform business and society. Our vision is
to be globally recognized as a leader in research, teaching, and
community-building ‹ especially in healthcare management and the management
of digital innovation‹ by 2020. We support a culture that embraces bold,
interdisciplinary thinking; drives the creation and application of
evidence-based knowledge; and expects collegial activity undertaken with
integrity. Three core values underpin all we do: innovation, collaboration
and generosity.
Applicants must have a strong background knowledge and skills in theory and
research methods and an ability to apply the same in addressing issues of
strategic importance to organizations. DeGroote has a strong
research-oriented faculty that is supportive of serious scholarship. We are
interested in individuals with outstanding research skills as well as a
passion for teaching.
The DeGroote School of Business strives to create a strong, supportive and
collegial research culture, building the research capacity of faculty and

in experiential learning: complementing classroom studies with hands-on
experience. The School has over 2,300 undergraduate students, 600 MBAs, 60
PhDs and 70 full-time faculty.
The School hosts three research centres and a number of research chairs
that provide value to business and contribute to the prosperity of society
at large. DeGroote operates at two campuses, the McMaster University main
campus in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada) and a new state-of-the-art facility in
nearby Burlington, Ontario, housing the MBA and executive programs. The
successful candidate is expected to be active at both locations, teaching
undergraduate and/or graduate courses in Strategy and/or International
Business as well as teaching in the School¹s professionally oriented
executive development programs and/or Director¹s College.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and
permanent residents will be given priority.
We will continue receiving applications for this position until it is
filled. The deadline date for the first consideration of candidates for
this appointment is September 1, 2016.
