Job Description

Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity 

The Department of MIB is seeking to appoint two full-time permanent staff at the Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor level in IB. They will play key roles in the research and teaching of International Business at the University of Auckland. We are particularly interested in appointing IB scholars with strong capabilities in quantitative methods and modern analytical tools (with one of the hired candidates likely to teach not only IB courses, but also courses in our growing Master of Business Analytics programme), and/or IB academics that could also contribute to our MBA programme (e.g., teach a course on Global Success and Scaling Up.)

Candidates at the Lecturer level should demonstrate the potential to publish in top journals in International Business and related disciplines, and candidates at the Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor should have already published in such outlets and have developed a portfolio of publications, including some in top-tier journals.

It is highly desirable that candidates can teach across IB and other related modules taught in a business school. We are looking for innovative and preferably experienced teachers with proven abilities to use various teaching methods, such as student-centred learning and flipped classrooms at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

These are both full-time, 40 hours per week; the salary range is - $94,981 - $157,822 per annum.
