Tips for Your Professor of Management Job Search

Tailor your teaching portfolio to the institution

Research universities weigh peer-reviewed publications heavily, while teaching-focused colleges prioritize student evaluations and course design samples. Package your dossier to match the institution type you're targeting, not a one-size-fits-all academic CV.

Apply early to roles that fit

Migrate Mate lists professor of management openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match your research area and teaching focus and apply directly to each listing.

Name your research stream in your cover letter

Management is broad enough that search committees screen by subfield first. State your primary research area, your secondary area, and the courses you can cover in the opening paragraph so reviewers don't have to infer it from your CV.

Prepare a job talk that bridges theory and practice

Business school search committees often include practitioners on the panel. Build your job talk so it opens with a real organizational problem before the literature, demonstrating that your research has implications outside the academy.

Negotiate startup funds and course release together

Salary flexibility at academic institutions is often limited, but startup funds for data access, travel, and research assistance and a reduced teaching load in year one are frequently negotiable. Raise both together in the offer stage, not separately.

Follow up after the campus visit with a brief note

Send a short, specific thank-you to the department chair within two days of your campus visit. Reference one conversation from the visit by name. It signals professionalism and keeps you present during a deliberation that often runs weeks.

Professor of Management Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies are hiring the most professor of managements?

The most active employers for professor of managements right now are University of Alabama, Kennesaw State University, and DeVry University, and the most openings are in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Business schools within large research universities tend to post the highest volume of tenure-track and visiting positions.

How many professor of management jobs are remote?

About 48% of professor of management openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with executive education and corporate training roles accounting for the largest share of location-flexible appointments. Traditional tenure-track positions at degree-granting institutions almost always require on-campus presence for teaching and departmental service.

How do you become a professor of management?

Start by completing a PhD in management, organizational behavior, strategy, or a related discipline at a research-active program. Publish peer-reviewed work in recognized journals during your doctoral studies. Apply for tenure-track or visiting positions through academic job markets that open each fall. Gain teaching experience through assistantships or adjunct roles while building your research pipeline before your first campus interview.

How do you get hired as a professor of management with little or no experience?

Candidates early in their careers should focus on visiting assistant professor or lecturer roles, which typically require a completed or nearly complete PhD rather than an established publication record. Presenting research at management conferences builds visibility with search committees before you have journal placements. Industry experience in a relevant management role can substitute for some academic credentials at teaching-focused institutions.

What does the professor of management interview process look like?

Most searches begin with a screening call or virtual interview with a subset of the search committee, followed by a job talk and campus visit for finalists. The campus visit typically includes a research presentation open to the department, separate meetings with faculty and doctoral students, a teaching demonstration, and a conversation with the dean or associate dean. The full process from application to offer often runs several months.

Where can I find and apply to professor of management jobs?

You can find and apply to professor of management jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from universities, business schools, and other institutions across the United States. Find roles that match your research area and teaching background and apply directly to each listing from the page.
