The Freeman College of Management at Bucknell University invites applications for a full-time, assistant-level, tenure-track position in Markets, Innovation and Design (MiDE), beginning August 2022. We seek a candidate with a Ph.D. in marketing or a closely related field by the start of the appointment.

The approximately 700 undergraduate students in the AACSB-accredited Freeman College of Management may choose among seven highly interdisciplinary majors that combine courses in the various fields of management with offerings in the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences, and engineering. Our innovative curriculum and world-class teacher-scholars earned the Freeman College a top 40 ranking in the 2021 Poets & Quants' annual survey of undergraduate business programs. We believe that an undergraduate education that combines broad intellectual exploration with technical skills is the best preparation for thoughtful and capable leaders. New faculty members must be capable of contributing to this mission through teaching, advising, scholarship, and service.

The candidate should be willing and able to teach undergraduate courses in marketing principles, consumer behavior, and the intersection of marketing, innovation, and design, in addition to courses within the candidate's area of scholarly interest and background. The teaching load at Bucknell University is five courses per academic year.

The Freeman College embraces the teacher-scholar model. 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 MiDE faculty at Bucknell has varied research interests, spanning consumer culture theory, user experience, design thinking, and the integration of management with the liberal arts through cultivating in students a progressive character inclined to serve the common good.

We also seek a faculty member with a demonstrated ability to work successfully with a diverse student body and a track record of inclusive, innovative pedagogy. 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 seek candidates who ensure respect for a wide variety of positions, raise perspectives that may not otherwise be vocalized in the classroom, and are eager to advise and mentor students from multicultural and underrepresented student groups. We welcome candidates who demonstrate excellence in reflective multicultural and inclusive teaching practices and who display a strong commitment to collaboration and interdisciplinarity. Candidates with post Ph.D. full-time teaching experience may be granted credit towards tenure. Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. Additionally, we offer an attractive junior faculty leave program and generous family tuition benefits.
