FACULTY POSITION: MANAGEMENT

The School of Management at Bucknell University seeks a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor qualified to co-teach Management 101, Bucknell's hallmark experiential and reflective principles of management course www.bucknell.edu/MGMT101, to teach upper-division undergraduate courses in organization studies, pursuant to the candidate's own interests and areas of competence, and to develop and sustain a meaningful program of scholarship beginning in Fall 2010.  Candidates with expertise in sustainable management, social entrepreneurship, and/or business entrepreneurship are particularly encouraged to apply.

Bucknell University embraces the teacher-scholar ideal; therefore, candidates should be dedicated to excellence in teaching and scholarship, and desire to make an intellectual contribution in both arenas.  In keeping with Bucknell's liberal arts tradition, the school supports both traditional scholarship and creative scholarship that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.  The teaching load for this position is five course sections per academic year.  We seek candidates who want to work in a collaborative interdisciplinary environment, develop innovative learning experiences, support our students through the mentoring/advising process, and serve the university community.

A record of excellence in undergraduate teaching and demonstrated research competency are required. Full-time organizational or managerial experience is highly desirable. Qualified candidates will have completed or be near completion of the Ph.D. degree or equivalent; candidates with post Ph.D. full-time teaching experience may be granted up to three years of credit towards tenure.

MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS AT BUCKNELL

A complex world characterized by globalization, rapid technological change, and increasing environmental, social, economic, and financial pressures requires a novel approach to management education.  Learning only traditional business skills parsed into standard functional silos is no longer enough for tomorrow's leaders. Bucknell University's School of Management intends to cultivate in its graduates enhanced maturity, enlightened perspective, creativity, and judgment.  In this effort we have formulated a novel curriculum that builds on our decades-long tradition of teaching management as a liberal art.  This new curriculum is projected to commence with the incoming class of fall 2010.  Taking advantage of Bucknell's comprehensive scope and intimate scale, the approximately 500 students in the School of Management will have the opportunity to choose from among four highly interdisciplinary programs that are integrated with the University's premier offerings in the humanities, arts, sciences and engineering. The programs include Managing for Sustainability; Global Management; Markets, Consumers and Designing Innovation; and Accounting and Financial Management.  For brief descriptions of the planned curriculum and each program, go to www.bucknell.edu/x43368.xml.
