We are looking for international scholars who are pleasant to work with, who are interested in the areas of strategic management, global strategy, and/or family firms, and who have a track record or strong ambition to conduct impactful research that will be published in leading international research outlets.

Furthermore, the professorship maintains a large and active international network with leading scholars in international business and strategic management.

The TUM Campus is located in the lovely city of Heilbronn in Southern Germany, which is known for its high standard of living, industrial agglomeration (in particular of family firms), and local wineries.
