ROBERT H. SMITH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
Management and Organization Department
Tyser Teaching Fellow Position in Strategy/Entrepreneurship
Full-Time, Non-Tenure Track Faculty Position
The Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, College Park invites applications and nominations for a Tyser Teaching Fellow in Strategy / Entrepreneurship to teach 18-24 credits per year, depending upon compensation and service responsibilities. Candidates must be able to teach courses in one or more of the areas of Strategic Management, Industry and Competitor Analysis, Implementing Strategy, Management Consulting, Global Strategy, Entrepreneurship and/or Innovation at MBA and EMBA levels. Evidence of teaching quality and ability to provide leadership in teaching excellence are the most important qualifications. This is a full time, non-tenure track faculty position, specializing in teaching and service - similar to Clinical Faculty positions in other institutions. PhD or other terminal degree required. Incumbent will be expected to teach courses, conduct research and perform service.
The Robert H. Smith School of Business (www.rhsmith.umd.edu) is recognized as one of the world's leading business schools for its strong track record in both research and teaching. The school is also known for a highly collaborative culture at the faculty as well as student levels. Within the business school, the Management & Organization department is particularly proud to be viewed as one of the strongest departments. We expect our new hire to help make an already strong M&O department even stronger.
The Management & Organization (M&O) department consists of 25 core faculty, including tenure-track professors and Tyser Teaching Fellows. The group's interests and responsibilities cover the following areas: strategy, entrepreneurship, globalization, organizational behavior, and human resources. Research excellence serves as the foundation of the M&O department. A recent analysis of publications in the most prestigious journals related to the above areas indicated that, on a worldwide basis, M&O ranked among the leading five over the past five years. M&O faculty also believe in teaching excellence. Over the last several years, M&O faculty have usually earned the highest teaching ratings among all departments. It is our belief that, aside from having a group of excellent faculty, part of the explanation for why M&O excels at both research and teaching has to do with a culture of collaboration where colleagues are expected to foster intellectual synergy. It is our hope that we will be able to continue this cultural strength as we become a larger group.
The Smith School has leading edge MBA and undergraduate programs, a rapidly expanding portfolio of executive education programs including EMBA programs in both the US and China, as well as a strong doctoral program. In the most recent surveys, Financial Times and Business Week ranked the Smith MBA Program as #24 in the US, while U.S. News & World Report ranked the Smith Undergraduate Program as #21 (Management as #13). Business Week ranked Smith's MBA teaching quality as #2 and the Smith EMBA program as #17 in the US.
Given the Smith School's location in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area, faculty and staff at Smith enjoy not only a strong institutional environment but also the pleasures of living in a vibrant and leading global city which is very cosmopolitan, rich in world-class museums and the performing arts, architecturally delightful, full of greenery with the beautiful Potomac River flowing right through the city, within one to two hours of driving distance from not only beaches but also ski slopes, and home to some of the country's best public and private schools.
For full consideration, we encourage applicants to submit a complete set of materials by February 28, 2013.
Candidates should send a CV, a listing of recently taught courses along with evidence of teaching effectiveness (e.g., teaching ratings, teaching awards), and a statement of teaching philosophy and/or teaching portfolio along with a brief cover letter highlighting their specific strengths relative to this position.
