Description
The College of Business (CoB) at the University of New England (UNE) invites applications for a full-time, teaching-track Assistant or Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship, beginning August 2027. We are seeking candidates with a doctorate or master's degree in entrepreneurship, business, or a closely related field (ABD considered), a strong record of teaching and thought leadership, and experience in applied entrepreneurial or innovation-related engagement, including work in industry, venture development, startups, public scholarship, or with nonprofit and governmental organizations.
This position will serve as a cornerstone faculty line for UNE's entrepreneurship curriculum, which is expanding from its existing Marine Entrepreneurship program to include multiple interdisciplinary pathways. These include new minors in marine and blue economy entrepreneurship and in health and life sciences entrepreneurship, as well as our "Entrepreneurship Across the Curriculum" initiative. The successful candidate will develop and teach undergraduate and graduate courses in entrepreneurship, including introductory and advanced courses across entrepreneurship, innovation, business, management, and related areas. The position carries a 4-4 teaching load (four courses in the Fall semester and four courses in the Spring semester). Furthermore, the successful candidate will also help connect entrepreneurship education to UNE's strengths in biotechnology, marine sciences, sustainability, and the health professions.
The College of Business prioritizes experiential learning, preparing students to apply their knowledge in practical settings. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to student engagement by creating dynamic, interactive learning experiences that foster critical inquiry, analytical thinking, and active participation. Experience creating or using Open Educational Resources and Open Access software is highly desirable and supports our commitment to zero-cost course materials.
This nine-month, teaching-track position offers a competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience, along with opportunities for summer teaching, interdisciplinary collaboration, and career advancement. The successful candidate will join a collegial, engaged faculty in a growing College of Business that is expanding its graduate, professional, and online offerings.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Applications received by November 1, 2026, will receive full consideration.
