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
