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 Fall 2022. SDSU values high quality scholarship and teaching; and therefore the successful candidate will exhibit competence/potential in both areas. The first entails conducting high quality scholarship in international strategy resulting in top-tier journal publications and academic thought leadership. The second involves effectively teaching international business and strategic management courses (e.g., international strategic management, cross-cultural management) to support the undergraduate Management and International Business programs, 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.

The Management Department’s faculty includes 18 tenure-track faculty as well as several full- and part-time lecturers.
