Job description

The Strategy & Innovation Department at the Boston University Questrom School of Business invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Strategy & Innovation. This position will begin July 1, 2027 for the Fall semester at Boston University.

While we will review all applications, we are particularly interested in scholars that have research and/or teaching interests related to global business, broadly defined. Given the breadth of the department, we are interested in both management scholars who study the strategic and organizational challenges associated with managing business and innovation in global environments, as well as applied economists, whose research may relate to international financial markets, international trade and business policies, and global flows of knowledge and human capital.

Prospective candidates must demonstrate the ability to produce original and innovative scholarly work of the highest possible quality and impact; a PhD degree in business, management, or other closely related areas from a research university is required.

Special consideration will be given to applicants whose research focuses on areas of strategic importance for the Questrom School of Business (such as health and life sciences, digital technologies, sustainability and social impact, and global business), and who can contribute to building the department’s capabilities in strategic management, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and global business.

Since its founding in 1839, Boston University has embraced a mission of openness and access, becoming one of the first universities in the nation to welcome all students of ability regardless of race, gender, or creed. That tradition shapes our enduring commitment to academic freedom, free inquiry, and the robust exchange of ideas. Please visit https://www.bu.edu/values/ to learn more about our shared values.

We seek scholars who will contribute to our community of teachers and researchers through excellence in innovative scholarship, engaged teaching, and participation in the intellectual life of the University. Boston University provides an environment where faculty and students work together across disciplines, perspectives, and experiences to advance knowledge and address society’s most pressing challenges.

The salary range for tenure-track Assistant Professors in the Strategy & Innovation Department at the Questrom School of Business is $215,000 - $225,000.
Boston University is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender, age, national origin, ethnicity, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law or identified in the University’s Notice of Non-Discrimination. Retaliation is also prohibited. We are a VEVRAA Federal Contractor.

Boston University, consistent with the AAU’s Principles on Preventing Sexual Harassment, conducts background checks for final candidates for certain faculty and staff positions. As part of this process, we ask current and past employers of the last seven years whether there has been a substantiated finding of sexual misconduct under their policies. To move forward, final candidates must complete and sign an “Authorization to Release Information” form after receiving an offer to enable this background check.
