academic
term.

resources management, entrepreneurship, organizational design, technology, or

interpersonal, written and oral communication skills; an ability to
work in a
matrixed
environment with a broad range of internal and external constituents.
Experience in higher education, as well as
successful experience
teaching a
diverse and multicultural student population, is highly desirable. Candidates must
be willing to work some
evenings and weekends
as needed. Familiarity with MIT
Sloan faculty and/or MIT faculty is helpful. Relevant formal education is
preferred.
The
Global
Economics and Management Group include faculty with interests in
international economics, political economy, economic
history, and
international
management and business. Our group is part of the Behavioral and Policy
Sciences Area, one of three major
research areas at
MIT Sloan.
