in the Faculty of Business and Management
– Department of International Business Administration (IBA) –
a temporary full-time professorship (W2) will be created as soon as possible for the subjects of Innovation Management and Corporate Entrepreneurship
General and International Business Administration
The professorship for “Innovation Management and Corporate Entrepreneurship” is the complement to the existing professorship in “Business Start-Up / Entrepreneurship” and is intended to contribute to the development of the newly planned Master’s program in Entrepreneurship and to its successful implementation.
The requirements for employment are set out in section 49 of the Higher Education Act (HochSchG) of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate. In addition to the general requirements for employment, applicants should have completed a relevant university degree and have specialist knowledge of the advertised field. A willingness to do research and to participate in the digital transformation of the field of study is expected.
Ideally, therefore, you will have excellent relevant expertise and corporate experience. It would be an advantage if you have professional experience in a large company or a relevant consulting activity (strategic and operational).
Furthermore, you have practical experience in the development and implementation of innovation processes. An affinity to or experience in the management and marketing of innovations is also an advantage.
The professorship is initially limited to three years, with the aim of a permanent position thereafter.
Teaching would be both in the Master’s and Bachelor’s programmes of the field of study. In addition to basic modules, specialisations in the above-mentioned subjects are also to be taught.
The teaching content of the professorship includes “Innovation management, innovation development, knowledge management, innovation culture, agile innovative organisational structures for corporate development, open innovation models, process innovations, innovation in corporate business models, corporate change and innovation implementation as well as related topics from the field of corporate entrepreneurship and digital transformation”. Experience in one or more of these areas is, therefore, an advantage.
The teaching content will focus on basics and operational methods (such as “Management and Marketing of Innovation”) as well as strategic aspects (such as “Corporate Entrepreneurship”, “Management of Family Businesses”). Conceptual competence and implementation skills round off your profile.
Applicants must be able to hold the listed lectures in the Master’s programme in English language. Participation in the committees of the academic self-administration is expected as well as the willingness to teach on the faculty’s various study programmes as well as in the university’s other faculties.
The state of Rhineland-Palatinate and the University of Applied Sciences Worms expect a high level of presence of lecturers on campus. Information on the Department can be found at www.hs-worms.de/iba. Further information on the advertised position can be obtained from the Head of the Appointment Committee “Innovation Management and Corporate Entrepreneurship” of the Faculty of Business and Management, Prof. Dr. Michael Graef, at graef@hs-worms.de.
Qualified female applicants who meet the requirements are explicitly invited to apply. Severely disabled persons and persons of equal status to severely disabled persons will be given preference in the event of suitability.
Applications with a letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, transcripts and list of publications including a copy of the PhD thesis (dissertation) as well as proof of professional activity should be sent to the President of the University of Applied Sciences Worms, Erenburgerstraße 19, 67549 Worms, Germany, or electronically to: bewerbung@hs-worms.de by 20.09.2020.
