Full Professor of Management and Organizational Behavior

WU is currently inviting applications for the position of a full professor of Management and Organizational Behavior at the Department of Management. Candidates are expected to have established an international reputation as a researcher in their field. Depending on the candidate's academic credentials, the employment contract can be concluded either as a permanent employment contract or as a fixed-term employment contract with the option of a permanent extension.

WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business) combines excellence with responsibility. Its rare triple accreditation by EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA is a guarantee for the highest quality research and teaching in the fields of business, economics, and business law. WU's research is characterized by a wide diversity of disciplines practiced at WU, allowing researchers to deal with even the most complex of research questions.

International cooperation is very important to WU, and we encourage and support both faculty and student mobility. WU is also very aware of its responsibility to its students, faculty, and staff and is committed to gender equality, equal opportunities, accessibility, family-friendly working conditions, and sustainability.

In the Department of Management, we engage in research, teaching, executive education, and third mission activities. We strive towards excellent research at the highest level, and to contribute to exchanging knowledge internationally and nationally, within academia and with other actors in society. We ground our research and teaching mainly in management and organizational theory, and we appreciate a social science perspective. We value our common understanding of academia as a joint effort grounded in mutual respect and appreciate our constructive collaboration.

Management and Organizational Behavior is a research area encompassing a broad variety of topics, as well as various relevant methodological approaches. This field is focused on human behavior in and around organizations, including personality traits, individual behavior, learning, motivations, and attitudes, as well as social and collaborative interactions. Since the position is embedded in the Department of Management, it is crucial that candidates explore research questions that relate to management behavior as well as managing behavior in organizations and consider its contextual embeddedness. Various research topics deserve attention in this field. These include, but are not limited to, (1) individual and managerial cognitions, attitudes, and behaviors, (2) individual motives, careers, group dynamics, and organizational cultures, (3) the relation between personality traits and managerial and organizational processes, (4) individual and managerial decision making, (5) organizational negotiation and power dynamics, and (6) perceptions about individuals and groups and their influence on individual, group, and organizational outcomes. In one or more of these research areas, candidates should have a strong track record of theory-related empirical research in organizations.

The successful candidate is expected to have established an international reputation as a researcher as exemplified above and to have the following characteristics (candidates' qualifications will be assessed under consideration of their academic age):

1. A solid academic qualification (e.g. PhD, habilitation, or equivalent qualification) in management (highly advantageous), alternatively a closely related area;
2. An outstanding international reputation for excellent research in Management and Organizational Behavior from a social science perspective;
3. An excellent research record with regard to their academic age, especially by:
1. Having demonstrated the ability to publish in top-tier journals of the field (especially advantageous also in journals from the WU star-list and the department's A+ and A lists) and by
2. Regular participation in recognized international conferences and workshops in the field of Management (e.g., Academy of Management, EGOS, EURAM, EAWOP);
4. Excellent teaching qualifications at undergraduate and graduate levels as well as in executive education;
5. Active participation in the international scientific community and a track record of serving the scientific community;
6. Well documented activities in the areas of self-governance and third mission;
7. Ability to teach in German is an advantage; in case this is not possible at the start of the employment, a strong commitment to learn German towards an advanced level (CEFR B2) in the first five years is expected in order to fulfill necessary responsibilities of this position, including teaching, university self-governance, and third mission activities.

We expect the successful candidate to teach at all levels of higher education and executive education at WU, both in classroom and in distance-learning. Full professors are expected to teach eight credit hours weekly at WU. We also want them to play an active role in the development and improvement of existing academic programs.

The successful candidate will be expected to take on a leadership role at institute level at the Department of Management, to establish stakeholder relations and to position the Institute for Management and Organizational Behavior as an international knowledge hub for management and organizational behavior. The new professor should also take an active role in the university's self-governance and third mission activities. The successful candidate shares the department's collaborative approach and is also expected to contribute to the future development of the Department of Management.

Overall, the successful candidate complements the department's profile in research, teaching, and third mission. Especially in research, the candidate introduces new approaches to the overall portfolio of the department as well as connects with existing research foci.

WU is committed to diversity and inclusion, and qualified women are strongly encouraged to apply. In case of equal qualification, female candidates will be given preference. People with disabilities are encouraged to apply and will be supported during each stage of the recruitment process.

WU assesses performance in the context of each applicant's biography and relative to the opportunities available to them. This approach recognizes that academic achievements cannot be assessed separately from each individual researcher's biographical factors. To ensure equal opportunities, qualifications are evaluated relative to the applicant's academic age. This means that WU takes biographical factors such as part-time employment or career interruptions due to caregiving or childcare obligations or other functions performed at or outside of a university into account.

In your application, you can include personal data related to biographical factors. WU will keep all data that you send us as part of your application confidential. All persons involved in the selection procedure are bound by obligations of secrecy.
