To help launch a School of Business and Leadership, the Business Program at DePauw University invites applications for a tenure-track position beginning August 2024 at rank of Assistant Professor. Ph.D. (completed by August 2024) is preferred in Business Analytics or a closely related field such as Operations Management, Data Science, or other specialties at the intersection of business and data analysis. A commitment to teaching undergraduates in a liberal arts setting and evidence of potential for effective and inclusive teaching are essential. The program specifically seeks candidates to teach core courses and electives in Business Analytics to undergraduate students. We welcome elective courses in the candidate’s subfield specialty and contributions to our Entrepreneurship curriculum. This exciting opportunity to help build a new liberal arts-based business program comes with a teaching assignment of six courses per year. Ample funding is available for professional development and research with undergraduate students.
DePauw’s Gold and Bold 2027 Strategic Plan includes launching a new School of Business and Leadership and a new school that focuses on Creative practice. To help us launch these schools, we seek a cohort of faculty with experience at a range of institutions, including international institutions, HBCUs and HSIs. We further seek candidates who bring diverse perspectives and who can integrate traditional liberal arts approaches (e.g., critical thinking; ethical reasoning; connecting disciplines to domestic issues of diversity, equity and inclusion as well as to global perspectives; interdisciplinarity; written and oral communication) into their courses and research programs. Contributions may be made through inclusive pedagogies, inclusive syllabi, choice of research agendas within the area of expertise and/or through contributions to interdisciplinary programs that diversify DePauw’s curriculum (e.g., Africana Studies, Asian Studies, Hispanic Studies, Global Health, Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies). A complete list of academic programs is available here.
