Open Rank Tenure Track Faculty Search
Business-Related Research on Diversity, Equity and Opportunity

Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan invites applications for two tenure-track professors (open rank) beginning September 1, 2023.

The successful candidate will be appointed in one of the Ross School’s disciplinary areas: Accounting, Business Economics and Public Policy, Business Law, Finance, Management and Organizations, Marketing, Strategy, and Technology and Operations.

We seek qualified candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching, and service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. We are especially interested in candidates whose professional experience, community engagement, and nontraditional educational backgrounds and pathways, have facilitated their understanding of and ability to better serve students from traditionally underrepresented groups in business schools. Faculty are expected to have an inclusive approach to mentoring and advising that incorporates working with women and underrepresented students, among others.
