Both the Freeman College's strategic plan and the University's strategic plan provide impetus for our search for this position. The strategic plan for the Freeman College of Management, adopted in May 2018, states that the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will provide a focus for teaching and scholarship in the College. Because addressing the SDGs requires new organizational approaches incorporating creative thinking and innovation, we are looking for a new colleague in the organizational management area to assist us in these efforts. In the Freeman College, we see values-driven management as an exciting opportunity to engage in these ways with our colleagues in the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Engineering.

Teaching responsibilities include our hallmark, experiential Management 101 course, a deeply engaged community-based learning course. Students learn about management and organizations by forming a company, raising money through the sale of a product, and using those proceeds to provide services to our local and regional community partners. Since the course began in 1978, over 300 of these companies have provided service and donations valued at more than $500,000 and worked over 100,000 person-hours on client projects. Our new colleague will also teach Stakeholder Management, an organizational ethics class targeting business, government, and society, as well as additional electives of interest. Freeman College faculty are encouraged to teach in ways that actively engage students in deep learning, critical thought, and the development of innovative insights. We highly value candidates who understand and appreciate education in the liberal arts and demonstrate reflective multicultural and inclusive teaching practices. While there are typically no advising duties in the first year, we seek applicants that are interested in and feel capable of working with and supporting students from multicultural and underrepresented student groups as well as encouraging students to think broadly about work opportunities in all sectors of society.

Our new colleague will show promise of a vigorous scholarly trajectory, as well as a strong commitment to collaboration and interdisciplinarity. The Freeman College supports both traditional scholarship and creative scholarship that transcends disciplinary boundaries. The College expects tenure-track faculty to make significant and creative intellectual contributions to their fields. The successful candidate will have a scholarly background in organizational management.

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. For additional information and to apply, please visit Bucknell's career site (careers.bucknell.edu). Applications will only be accepted online. Finalists will be asked for letters of reference.
