    Jenkins Distinguished Professor
    Department of Management, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship
    Poole College of Management
    North Carolina State University

    The Department of Management, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (MIE)
    at North Carolina State University’s Poole College of Management
    invites applications for the Jenkins Distinguished Professor to begin
    in August, 2013. An earned Ph.D. in a relevant area and a scholarly
    record commensurate with rank as a chaired full professor are
    required. Salary is competitive. We will begin screening applications
    on February 18, 2013, but applications will be accepted until the
    position is filled.

    Preference will be given to candidates with experience and primary
    research interests in the area of entrepreneurship, with secondary
    interests in strategic management, innovation management,
    international applications of technology commercialization, or
    strategy in high technology environments. A strong commitment to
    excellence in research and publications and teaching in the graduate
    and executive education programs is emphasized. A shared commitment to
    helping us continue to build a leading entrepreneurship research and
    teaching program (including a Ph.D. program) will be essential. The
    Entrepreneurship Collaborative, a center within MIE, is building a set
    of programs and activities to support faculty whose research would
    benefit from doing field experiments involving local entrepreneurs and
    ventures. This “clinical” model will allow us to involve more of our
    undergraduate and graduate students in research activities and provide
    strong integration across theory-driven research, teaching and
    engagement in entrepreneurship.

    We are an engaged and highly collegial group of scholars, working in
    one of the world’s very best locations for people interested in the
    intersection of management and technology. Our tenured/tenure-track
    faculty currently includes: Professors Brad Kirkman (Department Head),
    Steve Allen, Steve Barr, Robert Clark, and Roger Mayer; Associate
    Professors Lynda Aiman-Smith, Ted Baker, Shannon Davis, Steve Markham,
    Paul Mulvey, Beverly Tyler, and Greggry Young; and Assistant
    Professors Nachiket Bhawe, Turanay Caner, and David Townsend
    (visiting).

    Highly interdisciplinary in nature, the MIE department has faculty
    with research programs in entrepreneurship, strategy, management of
    technology and innovation, organizational behavior, and human
    resources. The MIE department
    (http://poole.ncsu.edu/index-exp.php/mie/mie) and other departments in
    the Poole College of Management house several distinguished academic
    centers, including The Entrepreneurship Collaborative (TEC)
    (http://tec.poole.ncsu.edu/), Center for Innovation Management Studies
    (CIMS) (http://cims.ncsu.edu/), Biosciences Initiative
    (http://biosci.poole.ncsu.edu), Supply Chain Research Cooperative
    (http://scm.ncsu.edu), and the Enterprise Risk Management Initiative
    (http://poole.ncsu.edu/erm/). We also have several international
    partnerships with universities in countries such as France and China.

    North Carolina State University is located in Raleigh, NC, within
    minutes of the technology-rich companies of the Research Triangle Park
    region and also quite near Duke University and UNC at Chapel Hill
    (http://www.visitraleigh.com/). With over 34,000 students and over 200
    degree programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, professional, and
    doctoral levels, NC State University is a major research university
