Knox College invites applications for a continuing faculty appointment in Business and Management to begin September 1, 2024. Applicants will be considered at all ranks in either conventional tenure track appointment or professor of practice.
Knox’s Integrated Business and Management major is rooted in the College’s liberal arts ethos. The successful candidate will seek to cultivate and enrich that ethos and develop a vision for the program that unites training in business leadership with a dedication to serving the public good. Therefore, we seek applications from Business and Management scholars with interests in novel approaches to teaching, scholarship, and program development.
The successful candidate will have interest and experience in teaching management, marketing, finance or other related topics at all undergraduate levels. Disciplinary specialization is open, but candidates should be able to teach both introductory and specialized business and management courses in a liberal arts college environment that values collaboration and interdisciplinary exploration.
A Knox education emphasizes active and immersive learning. Therefore, we welcome applications from candidates with interest in developing innovative experiential learning opportunities for students. We will consider applications from non-traditional candidates to serve as professor of practice. The normal teaching load is two courses during each of three ten-week academic terms. Advising and mentorship of advanced students are included in the responsibilities for faculty appointments.
Knox is a diverse college with over 35% of the student body identifying as American students of color and an additional 15% international students. Business and Management faculty work hard to enroll a diverse group of students at all levels of instruction and successful candidates should be prepared to work to make Business and Management courses appealing and welcoming to all of Knox’s students. Experience working with diverse populations of students and a commitment to teach successfully in a multicultural environment are expected.
Knox College provides a competitive salary and a strong benefit package including health, dental, vision and life insurance; access to a retirement plan; a tuition remission benefit available after a two-year waiting period and more!
