Tenure-track Professor, Open Rank - Fashion Design Management 

We seek an exceptional scholar whose work sits at the intersection of management inquiry and empirical analysis of the global fashion industry — work that bridges analytical depth with an understanding of how individuals, organizations, and markets interact within complex, evolving fashion systems.

Scholarship in one or more of the following areas is especially encouraged:

  • global supply chain strategy, sourcing, and trade policy;
  • brand strategy, consumer behavior, and the economics of fashion cultural production;
  • the application of big data, machine learning, and quantitative methods to fashion business problems;
  • entrepreneurship and innovation in fashion creative industries.

The successful candidate will demonstrate an active research program that is nationally and internationally recognized — or, for junior candidates, clear and convincing evidence of the trajectory and momentum to build one  — with a publication record in top-tier, peer-reviewed journals appropriate to the discipline. Empirical and quantitative competence is expected; the ability to bring analytical methods to bear on fashion management problems is central to what we are seeking. We are particularly interested in candidates whose scholarship is rigorous, theoretically grounded, and generalizable to fashion-related industries.

Faculty responsibilities center on research and teaching in equal measure, with service understood as an integral part of both rather than a separate obligation. The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate courses and advise students across B.S., M.A., M.S., M.P.S., and Ph.D. programs. A doctoral degree is required. We welcome scholars from management, fashion, strategy, business, economics, organizational behavior, consumer behavior, and related disciplines whose doctoral training includes strong empirical and quantitative foundations and whose work engages meaningfully with the fashion industry.
