As an Assistant Professor, the final candidate will teach courses in management, particularly in the area of decisions, operations and technology management. They will conduct research in management and advise students. They will also serve on departmental and university committees. In evaluating applications, the search committee seeks evidence of outstanding research and teaching potential. Evidence that a candidate's teaching, research, or service can also contribute to a campus climate that supports inclusive excellence will be viewed as a further strength. Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) or expect to complete their Ph.D. by June 2027. Assistant professors with experience will also be considered. The posted UC salary scales set the minimum pay determined by rank and/or step at appointment. See Table 3. The salary range for the Assistant Professor position is $200,000 - $230,000, inclusive of the salary scale and off-scale salary components. Please apply at: recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF11233. Applications must include an electronic copy of the candidate’s curriculum vitae, a statement of research, a statement of teaching, a job market paper, at least three (3) letters of recommendation, a UCLA Mission Statement, and a reference check authorization release form. The search committee will review applicants based upon their quality of research and breadth of teaching experience. The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting the finalists’ current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University’s Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” into RECRUIT as part of their application. If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference checks.
