Georgia Southern University, a member institution of the University System of Georgia, is the largest and most comprehensive center of higher education in the southern half of Georgia. Georgia Southern University is classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a Doctoral/Research institution. A residential university serving 16,841 students in Fall 2007, Georgia Southern's hallmark is a superior undergraduate experience emphasizing academic distinction, excellent teaching, and student success. Founded in 1906, the University offers 118 degree programs at the baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral levels through eight colleges. The 675-acre campus is located in Statesboro, a community of approximately 30,000 residents, 50 miles northwest of historic Savannah, and 200 miles southeast of Atlanta.
The position reports to the Chair of the Department of MML, is a 9-month appointment beginning August 1, 2008, and has a competitive salary that is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Faculty are expected to be teacher/scholars with a commitment to excellence in teaching and learning, engage in productive scholarship, be committed to professional service, have technological literacy with a commitment to using technology in teaching and scholarship, and have experience with, or interest in, working in diverse academic and professional communities. The ability to contribute to a positive work environment in the department, college, and University is also expected as well as a strong orientation to recruiting, advising, retaining, and mentoring qualified students.
MML offers three undergraduate degree programs. The BBA in Marketing allows a student to select an emphasis area, if desired, in sales or retailing. Management majors may choose specialties in human resources or small business; an emerging area is entrepreneurial leadership. The Logistics and Intermodal Transportation program is ranked 15th in the nation, and a DBA in Logistics/Supply Chain Management is being planned. Faculty members are expected to contribute to the Department's goal of achieving national distinction in each of these areas and becoming the Management, Marketing or Logistics major of choice among Georgia students. Faculty must also be willing to interact with students through activities such as advising, mentoring and collaborative research.
In addition to the undergraduate curricula, MML participates in the delivery of the MBA, MAcc, and WebMBA programs. Faculties teaching in the graduate programs are expected to deliver courses occasionally at the branch campus in Savannah and to other sites via distance learning or web-based delivery. Occasional delivery of undergraduate courses via distance learning or the web may also be required.
