The Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law at Friedrich-Alexander-Universit盲t Erlangen-N眉rnberg (FAU) invites applications for a

Full Professor of Corporate Management
(salary group W3)

at the School of Business, Economics and Society. This is a full-time and permanent position to be filled at the earliest possible starting date.

We seek to appoint a leading expert with an internationally visible profile in research and teaching. The successful candidate should represent all facets of corporate management in research and teaching. The professor is expected to contribute to research excellence at the faculty and FAU through internationally competitive research and publication in national and international journals in corporate management. In addition to the primary research focus of corporate management, other neighboring disciplines, such as succession and organizational resilience, are of interest. Research conducted at the professorship should offer collaborative links to other research focus areas at the Institute of Management and the School of Business, Economics and Society.

Candidates should demonstrate the ability to teach in business sector strategies, corporate strategies, change management, and managerial finance as these are key management topics in the master鈥檚 degree in management. The professorship is responsible for managing and accompanying the accreditation of this degree program on behalf of the Institute for Management and candidates must be willing to contribute to the future development and representation of this program. Candidates must have experience in teaching large foundation courses, design and implementation of online teaching modules, and teaching professional development programs (MBA and Executive Education).

Successful candidates should demonstrate an excellent academic track record in research and teaching at the highest international standards. They should have substantial research experience abroad and/or international cooperations as well as experience in managing research projects and in raising third-party funding. A university degree and an outstanding doctoral degree as well as a passion for education and relevant teaching experience are prerequisites. The position also requires additional postdoctoral qualifications. These should be in the form of a habilitation (postdoctoral thesis) or equivalent academic qualifications. These qualifications may also have been achieved in a non-university context or through a junior faculty position (for example as Assistant Professor).

The successful candidate should demonstrate academic leadership, the ability to support early career researchers and to drive FAU鈥檚 strategic agenda. FAU pursues a policy of intense student mentoring and therefore expects its teaching staff to be present during lecture periods. The professor is required to teach in English and German as compulsory modules in the curriculum must be taught in these.

FAU offers an outstandingly productive research environment as well as a passionate and multi-disciplinary scholarly community within a vibrant institutional network.

In its pursuit of academic excellence, FAU is committed to equality of opportunity and to a proactive and inclusive approach, which supports and encourages all under-represented groups, promotes an inclusive culture, and values diversity. FAU is a family-friendly employer and responsive to the needs of dual career couples.
