Senior Faculty Position in Entrepreneurship and/or Innovation Management
The Department of Management, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (MIE)
at North Carolina State University’s Poole College of Management
invites applications for a full professor position in entrepreneurship
and/or innovation management to begin in August, 2013. An earned
Ph.D. in a relevant area and a scholarly record commensurate with rank
as a full professor are required. Well qualified advanced associate
professors are also encouraged to apply. Salary is competitive. We
will begin screening applications on September 17, 2012, but
applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
Preference will be given to candidates with experience and research
interests in areas compatible with MIE’s focus on entrepreneurship,
innovation management, strategic and international applications of
technology commercialization, and strategy in high technology
environments. A strong commitment to excellence in research and
publications and teaching in the undergraduate, 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 leadership, and HR. 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 Consortium, and the Enterprise Risk Management Initiative. We
also have several international partnerships with universities in
countries such as France and China.
