The Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia seeks outstanding candidates for one tenure-track position in Business and Society, starting on July 1, 2025. The position is open at the rank of Assistant Professor.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will engage in high-quality, impactful research in the area of business & society and have demonstrated potential for teaching excellence at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the area of Business & Society with an emphasis on courses in Business Sustainability and/or Indigenous Business. Additionally, they should exhibit the potential for growth as a scholar and a willingness to actively contribute to the University. The successful candidate must hold a PhD in management or a related field with high research alignment by the employment start date. However, PhD candidates with solid indications of imminent completion may be hired at the rank of Instructor, with a promotion to Assistant Professor upon completing the PhD.

Candidates for the Assistant Professor position are expected to have a strong record of scholarly output as well as strong future research potential.  In line with SFU Faculty Association / SFU Collective Agreement, this includes diverse forms of scholarship such as publishing in high-quality peer-reviewed journals, Indigenous or other non-Western forms of scholarship, engaged scholarship, and public dissemination of scholarly work.

Candidates working in all areas of business and society are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will help Beedie deliver on its commitment to “prepare graduates to make responsible decisions and contribute to regenerative and reconciled economies by considering the systemic impacts of their decisions now and in the future”.  As a result, research strengths aligned with these commitments will be prioritized.  Candidates should also seek to make a positive impact on society through their research. Therefore, industry, governance, community and/or other practical experience is considered an asset. 

SFU has identified several areas of interest where the University has been internationally recognised and where strategic research clusters are beginning to emerge.  The Times Higher Education 2023 Impact Rankings place SFU as the world's top university for its global impact on sustainable cities and communities, and fifth in the world for climate action. Thus, we welcome applicants with research interests that align with SFU’s priorities around sustainable communities, community-business partnerships, Indigenization, community-centred climate innovation, and/or sustainability in the resource sector.

Additionally, the candidate should have the experience or the aptitude to contribute to Beedie’s teaching excellence in the area of business sustainability and/or Indigenous business.  The courses in our area adopt a broad, systemic view of sustainability that includes learning objectives related to systems thinking, lifecycle thinking, human rights, worker wellbeing, community resilience, embedding sustainability, credible goal setting and disclosure, sustainable value chains, and change agency. The Business and Society area is also committed to honouring both Indigenous and Western worldviews in our courses.

The candidate will also be expected to contribute to faculty and university governance; to their profession; to the development of their discipline nationally, internationally or locally; and to the furthering of good relations between the University and local communities.

Duties

As SFU is a leading research university, successful candidates are expected to contribute to Beedie’s research excellence. The candidate will also be expected to teach courses in sustainability such as our foundational undergraduate course Business in a Sustainable Society, senior level undergraduate courses in Beedie’s Corporate Environmental and Social Sustainability Certificate, and courses in sustainability and/or Indigenous business at the graduate level in our MBA programs. In addition, the successful candidate will actively participate in Beedie’s collegial self-governance and offer support and guidance to students, peers, and the academic community through activities such as committee work, mentorship, and experiential learning opportunities, which could include acting as a faculty sponsor for our Gold status NetImpact chapter.
