Associate Professorship of International Business

 

As a global business school embedded in a 900-year-old world-class university, Saïd Business School is committed to a vision of attracting and educating leaders who can tackle complex world-scale challenges, to make the world a better and more equitable place. We are proud of our academic excellence, delivering cutting-edge education and ground-breaking research that transform individuals, organisations, and business practice. This scholarly environment is built in part on our capacity to bring people together across disciplines and sectors to share knowledge, exchange ideas and create solutions. 

 

We are inviting applications from those with a background in International Business, broadly defined, who are committed to a programme of intellectually rigorous and relevant scholarship in global strategy, comparative political economy of business, and international political economy, that is publishable in top academic management journals (as defined, for instance, by the Financial Times’s 48 peer-reviewed academic journals), top social science journals and as books with top academic publishers. 

 

The successful candidate will join the International Business group which conducts research addressing pressing global issues, such as sustainability and labour standards in global value chains, innovation in emerging markets, digital transformation (including the adoption of artificial intelligence) and future of work, and state capacity and its implication for business. The group takes a distinct multi-level perspective to studying the political economy of international business. An important focus of the group, therefore, is to study how system-level institutions affect, and are affected by, organizational strategies, management and politics. Many of the group members engage actively with colleagues from other parts of Oxford in formal and informal research collaborations. The group is also committed to mixed methods in research, ranging from qualitative methods to experimental and quantitative methods. We therefore strongly encourage applicants from any methodological background as we continue to broaden the methodological interests of our group.
