The Asia School of Business (ASB) invites applications for a full-time, permanent, in-residence position in Management, beginning Fall 2021. The appointment is made at Full Professor, Associate, or Assistant rank depending on research and teaching record, and, if applicable, on business experience.
About ASB
ASB was founded in 2015 as a collaboration between the Central Bank of Malaysia and the MIT Sloan School of Management. Located in the heart of the vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur, ASB was recognized in 2017 by Poets & Quants as offering "the most innovative MBA program in the world." Strong on action learning, the school's mission includes developing transformative and principled leaders, particularly focused on the emerging economies.
ASB offers a multicultural and intellectually stimulating environment for scholars across different disciplines. We promote high-impact and actionable academic research and embrace scholarship from multiple disciplinary perspectives. In addition to a full-time MBA and an MBA for Working Professionals, ASB is planning to add specializations and research in business analytics and entrepreneurship.
Each ASB faculty member has a research affiliate appointment at MIT Sloan School and may spend three to four months there as an International Faculty Fellow, focused on teaching and research capability development. ASB offers internationally competitive compensation packages, relocation assistance, generous research funding, and strong teaching support.
