Wageningen University is a top class university, ranking among the world's leading institutions in the food, agri and environmental domains. We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious marketing researcher who would like to join our Marketing and Consumer Behaviour group as an assistant professor in a tenure track position.
We invite candidates to apply who have the ambition to make scientific and societal impactful contributions to the field of marketing. Our group is unique in not only making essential theoretical contributions in the top journals of multiple research fields such as Marketing, Consumer Behavior, Agricultural Economics, Food Sciences, and Psychology, it also emphasizes social impact of research ("Science for Impact", see
www.wur.nl).
The tenure track position will consist of conducting scientific and societal research (40% of your time), teaching (40% of your time), and scientific and societal relevant management tasks (20% of your time). Therefore, we expect the candidates to be enthusiastic about conducting scientific research that can make essential theoretical advancements (preferably in the field of marketing), and that will impact societal developments.
The Wageningen University Marketing and Consumer Behaviour group is one of the leading research groups in the fields of agriculture and food worldwide. To keep up this position, we expect you to apply your research to agriculture. For example, the agri sector currently goes through a transition characterized by digitalization, service provision, and use of big data in order to make the food system, as part of a bio-based economy, more sustainable and geared towards food security and health. These developments offer numerous opportunities for researchers to make conceptual and methodological contributions to the marketing field as well as to impact on society at large. Our new tenure tracker will strengthen our team to do research in this domain, with a particular focus on agricultural producers.
