    Assistant or Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation

    The College of Business and Administration at the University of Colorado
    Colorado Springs is currently seeking to fill a tenure-track position in
    Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

    This position provides a unique opportunity to teach entrepreneurship and
    innovation courses, primarily in the Bachelor of InnovationTM (BI) family of
    degrees program. The BI family of degrees is an internationally unique
    interdisciplinary undergraduate program between the College of Business and
    the College of Engineering and Applied Science. The Bachelor of Innovation™
    (BI) has a family structure, with a single degree in which particular majors
    are defined. Included are the BI in Business and four majors in
    engineering. Each degree in the program is composed of courses in the
    major, innovation core courses, and a cross-discipline core of courses from
    a discipline other than the student’s major. This faculty member must be
    comfortable and effective working with engineering faculty and with members
    of the business community. Additional information about the Bachelor of
    Innovation family of degrees is available at innovation.uccs.edu. The

    courses in innovation management.

    an earned doctorate from an AACSB accredited university. However, both
    Assistant and Associate Professors will be considered. ABD applicants must
    have completed all doctoral qualifying exams and course requirements, and
    they must be able to persuasively demonstrate that all degree requirements
    will be completed within one year of hiring.

    This position entails both a research and teaching emphasis. Candidates
    should be able to demonstrate the ability, interest, and plans to conduct
    managerially relevant research in high-quality academic journals.
    Candidates must demonstrate the ability and interest to teach effectively in
    undergraduate and MBA courses. Candidates should also be committed to
    further enhancing our collegial environment. Relevant industry work
    experience will be highly regarded. Salary is competitive, and the College
    of Business provides generous travel and professional development funding.

    Colorado Springs has a combined enrollment of more than 1,500 students in
    AACSB-accredited undergraduate and MBA programs, offered in both on-campus
