Job description

The work of the Assistant/ Associate Professor includes teaching (degree and executive education), conducting research, fulfilling administrative tasks (committees) and representative tasks. Furthermore, the Assistant/ Associate Professor is expected to actively collaborate with colleagues and practitioners (in particular members of the Nyenrode Corporate Governance Institute/NCGI) in the development of research and teaching activities at Nyenrode. The Assistant/ Associate Professor will be a key contributor to the further development of the NCGI.

Research

The Assistant/ Associate Professor will be responsible for publications in scientific journals and/or books and other publications; for establishing, maintaining, and expanding collaboration with national and international research institutes, universities and (international) businesses wherever possible and viable; for fostering and extending the network and alliances; and for embedding the input of research activities into the educational activities. The Assistant/ Associate Professor will also contribute to the development of the research agenda for the NCGI.

Considering the profile of Nyenrode and its executive education program, we are looking for a profile that is both research and impact oriented.

The candidate needs to have a solid track record of peer reviewed papers in top international academic journals in the domain of corporate governance, management, law, economics and/or accounting.

Corporate Governance is a crucial subject taught in the Executive Education offerings (e.g., New Board Program, ‘Commissarissencyclus’ for Non-Executive Directors, Electives, and other programs in our Board & Governance portfolio). Over time, there will be a need to teach Degree programs as well.

Engaging in the debate
