The Entrepreneurship & Innovation section of the Amsterdam Business School (ABS) is looking for Two Assistant professors in Entrepreneurship & Innovation.

The core tasks of an Assistant professor are in teaching and research. In the tenure track appointment, 50% of the time will be for research, while the teaching load will maximally take up the other 50% of time. Teaching will be at the graduate (MSc), executive and, especially, at the undergraduate (BSc) level, because of the need to expand teaching in the new BSc program. Research is aimed at international top journals, especially in the fields of entrepreneurship and innovation management.

The intended starting date will be 1 January or 1 September 2019, depending on your availability and the section's planning.

You should have or be close to (your thesis should be approved by the time the contract starts) obtaining a PhD in Management Science or a closely related discipline, and your research should concern the fields of entrepreneurship and/or innovation management. We will evaluate you on your potential for and/or record of excellence in teaching and research. In particular, we are also looking for candidates with good quantitative methods skills - and the ability to teach them to students.
