Tyser Teaching Fellow in Entrepreneurship and Strategy
Management & Organization Department
Robert H. Smith School of Business
University of Maryland, College Park, MD
The Management and Organization Faculty invite applications for a non-
tenured teaching and service faculty position. The position is for a nine-
month contract beginning Fall 2006. The position represents an ongoing need
in the department, and the incumbent will be eligible for a long-term
renewable contract. Currently over 15 individuals serve as Tyser Teaching
Fellows in the R.H. School of Business, on 1-5 year contracts depending
upon experience and preferences. Candidates will be responsible for
teaching undergraduate and MBA level courses in entrepreneurship.
Candidates with the ability to teach more broadly, including in the area of
global strategic management, are especially encouraged to apply.
Candidates must possess an earned doctorate in management or a closely
related field and have 3+ years experience in classroom teaching. Evidence
of a strong track record and excellence in teaching at the undergraduate
and graduate levels is essential. Additional consideration will be given
to candidates who can provide evidence of teaching breadth (e.g., graduate
vs. undergraduate, class size, subject matter). Preference will be given
to candidates with a proven track record of high quality MBA teaching, and
who can immediately contribute to the School's MBA programs at Washington
DC, Shady Grove, Baltimore, College Park and internationally in Asia,
Europe and North Africa. The successful candidate will also have service
responsibilities such as undergraduate and graduate advising, curriculum
redesign, school and departmental committees, career advising and
placement, etc. Applicants will not be evaluated on the basis of their
research, and there are no expectations of research productivity for re-
appointment. The successful candidate will, however, have access to the
research resources of the School and University. Salary range is
commensurate with qualifications.
Applicants must send: (1) a current vita, (2) numeric course evaluations
and summary information about student ratings for recently taught
undergraduate and graduate courses, (3) a statement of teaching philosophy,
(4) sample course syllabi, and (5) three letters of recommendation.
Applications and related materials must be received by April 5, 2006 for
full consideration.
