We prefer that candidates for the position possess (or expect completion by August 2026) a Ph.D. in management, but doctorates in closely related fields may also be considered.

Evidence of a solid track record and excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels is essential. The position also includes service responsibilities such as membership on university, school, and department committees (e.g., undergraduate and graduate curriculum/program development) and other duties as needed. Applicants will not be evaluated on the basis of their research, and there are no expectations of research productivity for re-appointment. Salary range is competitive and commensurate with qualifications.
