    The College of Business at Oregon State University invites applicants for an
    anticipated full-time (1.0 FTE), nine month appointment in Entrepreneurship
    at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning September 2013. Salary is
    competitive and commensurate with education and experience. Employee
    benefits are excellent.
    Please note that this is one of two separate positions posted in the
    discipline of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at OSU this hiring season. The
    other posted position is in Strategy and Entrepreneurship.
    The College of Business has about 2200 undergraduate majors, 700 minors and
    100 graduate students. The College of Business joins with other departments
    and colleges in new initiatives to respond to the needs and concerns of
    OSU's increasingly multicultural student body, and to join the ranks of top
    tier colleges of business across North America in teaching excellence,
    cutting edge research, industry partnerships and community service.
    Expectations of faculty include high-quality teaching and scholarly
    activities that result in publications in leading journals in
    Entrepreneurship and Strategic Management. Assistant Professors are
    expected to establish a program of research and scholarship. Moreover,
    faculty members are expected to engage in appropriate service activities
    both within the University and the profession. Finally, faculty members are
    expected to be collegial members of the College and University.
    Entrepreneurship, innovation, technology commercialization, and
    sustainability have been identified by the University and the College as
    thematic areas of emphasis. The faculty strongly support these themes and
    seek colleagues with similar enthusiasm. Service responsibilities include
    engaging with the Austin Entrepreneurship Program.

    OSU is on the quarter system, with 3 10-week terms a year, plus a summer
    term. The typical teaching load for a tenure-track assistant professor is 5
    sections a year (i.e., 3-2-0). This is typically used to allow faculty to
    devote an entire 10-week term each year exclusively to their research, in
    addition to not having teaching expectations in the summer. The College
    provides summer support for 2 summers.

    Position duties include:
    45% Teaching - high-quality teaching of undergraduate and graduate courses
    in entrepreneurship, new product development, or technology and innovation
    management.
    45% Research - scientific investigations that lead to the publication of
    scholarly work.
    10% Service - participate actively as a member of the university community:
    on administrative committees, search committees, university governance
    activities and student advising, as well as actively serving one’s
    professional community.

    Qualified applicants will be required to upload the following documents:
    (1) A letter of interest that clearly indicates the applicant’s interest
    in the Entrepreneurship position
    (2) A vita, including summary information of courses taught and student
    evaluations, as well as the names, addresses and phone numbers of three
    professional references
    (3) Brief statement that describes research interests and teaching philosophy
    Required qualifications include an appropriate earned doctorate from an
    AACSB International accredited university or equivalent with an emphasis in
    entrepreneurship, evidence of or potential and motivation for scholarly
    publication and teaching effectiveness, and teaching experience at the
    university level commensurate with job requirements. Preferred
    qualifications include relevant professional non-academic work experience
    and ability to develop strong linkages with the business community,
    practical and/or academic experience in the areas of entrepreneurship, new
    product development, innovation, or technology commercialization, interest
    in new product development or marketing, and demonstrable commitment to
    promoting and enhancing diversity.

    Applications must be submitted using the university’s on-line application
    process at http://oregonstate.edu/jobs Posting No. 0009272. For full
    consideration, applications must be received by 9/15/2012. Candidates should
    submit a letter of interest that clearly indicates interest in the position,

    professional references, and a brief statement that describes research
    interests and teaching philosophy.

    Management meeting in Boston. If you wish to meet with the search
    committee, please send a cover letter and your vita to
