The Department of Management in the Fowler College of Business
at San Diego State University (SDSU) invites applications for a tenure-track
position in International Strategy at the Assistant Professor level for

the graduate Masters in Science in Global Business Development program; and
assisting with related co-curricular activities such as working with the SDSU
Center for Advancing Global Business (CAGB). Graduate level teaching may be
expected depending upon demand. Filling this position will be contingent upon
state funding.

oldest and largest AACSB accredited business schools. Jointly with the College
