The Department of Entrepreneurship & Strategy at the University of Utah David Eccles School of Business is inviting applications for two multiyear postdoctoral fellowship positions. Post-doctoral fellows will focus on their own research while working closely with a faculty mentor.

 

Successful candidates should have a well-demonstrated interest in strategy and entrepreneurship. For one of the positions an interest in innovation is preferred. Candidates are expected to have completed their Ph.D. in strategy or economics by Summer 2024. The initial appointment is for two years, with an option for the department to extend a third. Start date is negotiable but anticipated to be July 1, 2024. Scholars are expected to be in residence during their tenure, participate in seminars, and contribute to the broader intellectual community. It is expected that fellows will teach one course during the appointment. In addition to a competitive salary and benefits package scholars will be provided a budget for research/conference related expenses.

 

Applications will be accepted until December 1, 2023 or until the positions are filled. To be considered please complete the application and submit: (1) a copy of your job market paper; (2) CV with references; (3) research statement; and, (4) cover letter to: Post-Doctoral Hiring Committee.
