As part of its continuing expansion of the Department of Management Science and Innovation, University College London (UCL) seeks to appoint a committed, dynamic and self-motivated person to a faculty position in the Department. Academic rank is open. The anticipated start is 1 September 2009.
UCL is one of the foremost research and teaching institutions in the world and is the flagship campus of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">London</st1:placename></st1:place>. Of the top 200 universities in the world, UCL is ranked no. 9 (The Times of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">London</st1:city></st1:place>, 2007).

Candidates should have a doctorate in Strategic Management, Organizational Behavior, Operations Research, or related discipline, preferably with a link to innovation, technology management, or entrepreneurship. We value applications from discipline-oriented scholars able to apply theories and methods from, for example, psychology, sociology, economics, or political science.

For senior candidates, a proven publication record in top international journals and substantial research visibility and impact is expected.
The size of the Department is currently 35, which includes full-time and part-time faculty members and support staff. The Department has significant momentum as reflected in hiring five new faculty members during the past two years from, for example, Stanford, Northwestern, and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">London</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Business</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype></st1:place>.
