Appointment Stream Position in Management

The Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business and College of Business Administration (Pitt Business), University of Pittsburgh, seeks candidates to fill a full-time, appointment (non-tenure) stream assistant professor position in the Organizations and Entrepreneurship (O&E) Area starting as early as Fall, 2024. We welcome applications from candidates with significant experience in management and the networking skills to develop and nurture relationships with business and industry.

Pitt Business houses several strong masters and undergraduate business programs. The Katz MBA is consistently ranked among the top 25 U.S. public programs. The Katz PhD program is complemented by a recently launched Executive DBA program. The University of Pittsburgh maintains a strong research profile, with over $1 billion in research expenditures in 2022. We are embedded in a thriving business community that has experienced significant technology innovation and entrepreneurship activity in the last decade. Pittsburgh is also an attractive metropolitan area in which to live, with an active arts and restaurant culture befitting a much larger city.

The O&E Area plays a vital role in enabling Pitt Business to fulfill its purpose and realize its aspirations. Pitt Business’s strategic plan identifies three “Paths to Distinction”—thematic strengths in the domains of the health sciences industry, digital transformation, and societal impact. The Centers managed by O&E faculty—David Berg Center for Ethics and Leadership, Center for Healthcare Management, Business of Humanity® Project, and Center for Sustainable Business—align closely with and support these three Paths to Distinction.

The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of the managerial dilemmas faced by corporations in today’s complex and evolving business environment, and the skill sets necessary to deal with such ambiguity. Candidates must possess a PhD or relevant terminal degree in the area of management, strategy or closely related discipline. Successful experience as a senior executive or business consulting leader is important. Additionally, the position calls for a commitment to excellence in teaching as well as exercising strong interpersonal skills in working with other faculty and staff members driving the Katz School’s strategic initiatives. When filled, the position will be a renewable appointment subject to satisfactory performance and the reappointment process for appointment stream faculty.

Please submit applications electronically. Applicants must submit a letter of interest, resume, sample research paper(s), evidence of teaching effectiveness, and three letters of reference. Please request letter writers to email all letters of reference to oefacultysearch@katz.pitt.edu. If you have any questions, please contact the Chair of the Search Committee—Dr. Deborah Good at debgood@pitt.edu.

The application deadline is February 1, 2024, or until the position is filled. However, early applications are encouraged, as we will review applications as they come in.
