Assistant or Associate Professor of Business

Purpose: We are looking for terminal degree holders in finance, management, marketing or related business fields with a desire to make a difference by elevating how we form business students. You will have a passion for teaching undergraduate students and a clear commitment to the Catholic liberal arts context in which students learn at the College. Holy Cross’s multinational faculty, staff, and student body collaborate to create a unique learning environment where mission permeates our approach to student formation. As such, the successful candidate will approach business education in an interdisciplinary way, connecting business with the liberal arts.

Successful Holy Cross students will graduate not only with a rigorous grounding in their primary area of study, but also with the ability to connect those skills to understanding the needs of our broader world, and to the development of solutions in service to the common good, thereby providing them with the knowledge, skills, and disposition necessary for personal and professional success.

The department offers a robust, nurturing, tenure development program that is designed for success.  Through formal sessions, cohort development, mentoring, strategic course assignment and research/professional development budgets, our investments help ensure our tenure track faculty development participants enjoy a rewarding and successful career.

Essential Job Duties:

• Teach 12 credit hours per semester across majors within and beyond the Holy Cross Business Department and contribute to curricular innovation and administration in alignment with the College’s mission.
• Develop complementary course-level curriculum and pedagogy that integrates foundational concepts from courses in philosophy and theology to modern business concepts. For example:  exploring and bridging classical concepts from natural, rational and moral philosophy, classical virtue, alongside tenets of Catholic Social Teaching such as the common good, solidarity, subsidiarity, justice, and human dignity to modern business concepts such as leadership, motivation, negotiation, communication, finance, quantitative reasoning, ethics, and/or analytical and creative problem-solving. This will be implemented in ways which tangibly buttress the College’s efforts to form scholars, citizens, leaders, and disciples.
• Cultivate opportunities for student programming that reinforce the curricular tactics mentioned above. Examples include cultivating experiential learning opportunities with local business and community organizations, student research, seminars, simulations, competitions, field-study, etc.
• Participate in the life of the College with service and other responsibilities to meet the needs of the department and College.
