The College of Business at Oregon State University invites applicants for an
anticipated full-time (1.0 FTE), nine month appointment in Strategy and
Entrepreneurship at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning September
2013. Salary is competitive and commensurate with education and experience.
Employee benefits are excellent.
Please note that this is one of two separate positions posted in the
discipline of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at OSU this hiring season. The
other posted position is in Entrepreneurship and New Product Development.
The College of Business has about 2200 undergraduate majors, 700 minors and
100 graduate students. The College of Business joins with other departments
and colleges in new initiatives to respond to the needs and concerns of
OSU's increasingly multicultural student body, and to join the ranks of top
tier colleges of business across North America in teaching excellence,
cutting edge research, industry partnerships and community service.
Expectations of faculty include high-quality teaching and scholarly
activities that result in publications in leading journals in
Entrepreneurship and Strategic Management. Assistant Professors are
expected to establish a program of research and scholarship. Moreover,
faculty members are expected to engage in appropriate service activities
both within the University and the profession. Finally, faculty members are
expected to be collegial members of the College and University.
Entrepreneurship, innovation, technology commercialization, and
sustainability have been identified by the University and the College as
thematic areas of emphasis. The faculty strongly support these themes and
seek colleagues with similar enthusiasm. Service responsibilities include
engaging with the Austin Entrepreneurship Program.
OSU is on the quarter system, with 3 10-week terms a year, plus a summer
term. The typical teaching load for a tenure-track assistant professor is 5
sections a year (i.e., 3-2-0). This is typically used to allow faculty to
devote an entire 10-week term each year exclusively to their research, in
addition to not having teaching expectations in the summer. The College
provides summer support for 2 summers.

45% Teaching - high-quality teaching of undergraduate and graduate courses
