Tenure-Track Business Management Faculty – MBA – Japan

Position Overview
International University of Japan (IUJ) is hiring a tenure-track faculty member in Business Management. This is a full-time academic role at the Graduate School of International Management (GSIM). The position is open at Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Full Professor level. The start date is September 2026. All teaching is at the MBA level and taught in English. Do you want to teach global students in Japan while building your research career? This role is designed for that goal.

About International University of Japan (IUJ)
IUJ is a graduate-only university in Minami-Uonuma, Japan. GSIM is AACSB accredited and has strong global recognition. The school was founded with support from leading firms such as Panasonic, Toyota, Sony, Komatsu, IBM Japan, and others. Students come from more than 40 countries. Classes are small, diverse, and very international. The campus is peaceful and green. Tokyo is about 100 minutes away by bullet train. It is a calm place to think, teach, and do research.

Faculty Role and Academic Rank
The university seeks a Ph.D. holder in Business Administration or a related field. The role is tenure-track and open to all ranks. Candidates must meet AACSB faculty standards. Strong teaching skills and a clear research path are essential. Experience with MBA students is a plus. The school values practical insight as well as theory. Can you link research to real business life? That matters here.

Teaching Areas and Courses
Faculty teach four courses per academic year. Each course runs for eight weeks. All courses are taught in English. Core teaching areas may include Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management. Specialized MBA courses may include Organizational Effectiveness, Organizational Design and Innovation, Remote and Virtual Team Management, Leadership and Organizational Change, Strategic Communication, Negotiation Strategy, Cross-Cultural and Global Management, Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility, Human Resource Practices in Japan, Japanese Industry Overview, Sustainability and Green Organizations. Teaching topics may vary based on background and interest.

Research Environment and Support
GSIM supports active research. Faculty receive research funding. The school provides access to major academic and business databases. These include Lexis Advance, EBSCO, ProQuest, Capital IQ, and Eikon with Datastream. The research culture is collaborative and international. Faculty often work across disciplines. If you enjoy focused research time with strong tools, this environment helps.

Compensation and Extra Teaching Income
Salary depends on rank and experience. Minimum annual salary starts at 7 million JPY for Assistant Professor, 8 million JPY for Associate Professor, and 9 million JPY for Full Professor. Higher pay is possible based on qualifications and past results. Extra pay is available for teaching beyond the normal load or in executive education programs. Many faculty earn about 1 million JPY more per year through extra teaching.

Application Requirements
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. A complete application includes a detailed CV, a cover letter explaining interest in IUJ and Japan, teaching experience with course evaluations, a list of publications with Impact Factor and ABDC ranking, a research plan for the next two to three years, and three letters of recommendation. Applications are reviewed until the role is filled. The target deadline is March 31, 2026.

How to Apply
All materials must be submitted online. Upload your application using the official form provided by IUJ. The application link is included in the original posting. Early applications are encouraged.

Why This Role Stands Out
This role offers global MBA teaching, light teaching load, strong research support, and life in Japan. Few schools offer this mix. You teach bright students from around the world. You research with top databases. You live close to Tokyo but work in a quiet setting. It is a rare balance.

Important Note for Applicants
If you decide to apply for this position, kindly mention that you found it on AcademyHire.
