The Department of Marketing and Strategy at the Stockholm School of Economics invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in Strategic Management and/or International Management.
We are looking for candidates with a completed Ph.D. degree in Business Administration (primarily Strategic Management but related subdisciplines could be relevant). The ideal candidate is someone with a promising research record as evidenced by publications, probable potential to publish, or a pipeline of submitted papers in top tier journals. We are specifically looking for candidates with a documented interest in and experience from research in strategy process and practice, strategic entrepreneurship and/or behavioural strategy. A successful candidate is expected to actively participate in one or more of the ongoing research projects at the Department.
The successful candidate will be part of the core faculty in Strategic and International Management at the Department and primarily teach within these two subject areas (Bachelor, Master and Executive levels, all with English as instruction language). Research and teaching are equally important and the candidate will be offered support and training in pedagogy. The standard teaching load for tenure track faculty at SSE is four courses per year with the possibility of a 50% reduction through external research grants. Due to partial funding via a Browaldh research stipend, the current position automatically has a reduced teaching load (only two courses/year) during the tenure track period. The candidate is expected to engage in collaboration with external stakeholders in both research and teaching, tapping into our wide network of partner organizations.
To summarize, we are looking for a colleague with a passion for both research and teaching, who is doing outstanding research, has a track record of high-quality teaching, and comes with excellent recommendations. Beyond this, we are looking for someone prepared to contribute to our research environment, our education programs, and other areas in the life of a thriving academic institution.
The expected start date for the position is August 2026, but we are open to discussing alternative start dates. Salaries are competitive, commensurate with qualifications and experience, and are set on an individual basis. The tenure track period is 6 years, conditional on a successful mid-term review after 3 years. Tenure evaluation takes place after a maximum of 6 years, and successful evaluation leads to conversion of the tenure-track position into a tenured Associate Professor position.

REQUIREMENTS

The position requires a PhD in Business Administration focused on Strategic Management and/or related areas, e.g. International Management, from an accredited university or business school (EQUIS, AACSB, or AMBA). Candidates must have completed their PhD prior to taking up the position and must demonstrate a strong research interest in strategic management and a commitment to high quality research and teaching in relevant areas. Preference will be given to candidates who have published in top journals, have a proven track record of international peer-reviewed publications, and/ or a strong pipeline of submitted papers. Candidates should have an active presence in the international research community in the field. Reviewing experience from relevant journals is a merit.
The candidates should have documented experience from teaching relevant courses at Bachelor and/ or Master levels and must demonstrate teaching effectiveness as indicated by teaching evaluations, letters of recommendations and/or peer reviews. Experience from course directorships, designing courses, coaching student projects, and teaching in Executive education are considered merits.
Finally, candidates should demonstrate an ability and willingness to undertake administrative duties and play a full part in the intellectual life of the Department and School at large.
