> Dear Colleagues,

> Singapore Management University is a 6-year-old university, with a
> charter to become a world-class research and teaching institution. Our
> new, US$250 million city campus opened in downtown Singapore in June
> 2005. We hope to add several tenure-track faculty members in the areas
> of Human Resources and Organizational Behavior. We are especially
> interested in researchers with established, high-quality research
> records. Please see below for further details about Singapore
> Management University, living in Singapore and application procedures.

> SINGAPORE MANAGEMENT UNIVERSITY
> Singapore Management University's vision is to be a premier
> university, internationally recognized for its world-class research
> and distinguished teaching. Incorporated in January 2000, SMU is a
> private university, established with Singapore government funding. We
> are a young, vibrant, US-style research university. Our faculty
> publish in the top international journals in their field, and SMU
> provides them with ample support to do so. As a new university, our
> present teaching focus is on undergraduates, however it is expected
> that graduate programs will be added in the next few years. Our
> teaching has already been recognized as distinctive within Asia, owing
> to our relatively small class sizes, our emphasis on experiential
> learning across the entire curriculum, and our emphasis on the
> building of leadership and organizational skills in addition to more
> technical skills.
>
> In the last two years, the School of Business has seen a 68% increase
> in the size of its faculty (from 56 to 94), and we expect continued
> growth over the next several years. The School of Business recently
> received a grant of US$120 million from the Lee Kong Chian foundation,
> and accordingly has been renamed the Lee Kong Chian School of
> Business.
>
> Our OBHR faculty comprise Graham Brown (UBC, 2005), Don Ferrin
> (Minnesota, 2000), Gary Greguras (Bowling Green, 1998), Wei Hua (UCLA,
> 2005), Thomas Menkhoff (Bielefeld, 1990), Jochen Reb (Arizona, 2005),
> Hwee Hoon Tan (Purdue, 1996), and we will be joined by David Day
> (Akron, 1989) in July. All of us are active researchers, whose
> interests include organizational trust, leadership, cross-cultural and
> intercultural management, territoriality within organizations, social
> networks, organizational deviance, performance appraisal, knowledge
> management, emotions, and decision making. Our research has appeared
> in Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review,
> Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Management, Leadership
> Quarterly, Organization Science, Organizational Behavior and Human
> Decision Processes, and Personnel Psychology, among others. See

> to very senior appointments. The starting date is flexible, but can be

> LIVING IN SINGAPORE
> Singapore is a vibrant, safe, modern, and cosmopolitan city-state with
> a multiethnic population of four million. Although it has four
> official languages, English is the main language in government,
> education, and industry. It is host to 5,000 multinational companies,
> and many of the Global 500 companies have located their Asia-Pacific
> headquarters in Singapore. Singapore is also considered a very
> family-friendly city, with excellent private and public schools. Being
> at a crossroads within Asia, Singapore offers a broad range of
> regional recreation and travel opportunities. Finally, and notably,
