international standards, a research statement, presentations at significant conferences, awards and
accolades, and strong endorsements from referees of high standing. 
 
The successful candidate will demonstrate excellence in teaching and must have a demonstrated
interest in graduate student training and supervision. Preference will be given to candidates who
can teach in the area of international business. Excellence in teaching will be demonstrated

student mentorship, or excellent conference posters or presentations), as well as strong letters of
reference, and a strong performance during the on-campus presentation for short-listed
candidates.
 
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
