This is an opportunity for a candidate who will thrive in a collegial environment that supports teaching and research, encourages interdisciplinary efforts within and beyond the department, and provides mentorship for junior faculty. The teaching load is three courses per semester, including multiple sections of our senior-level Strategic Management course, plus compensated supervision of a number of senior theses. Responsibilities may also include developing experiential-learning opportunities, and working individually with qualified students on research projects strategy. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the college-wide first year writing and research program.
