Senior Faculty Position in Entrepreneurship and/or Innovation Management

The Department of Management, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (MIE) at North Carolina State University's Poole College of Management invites applications for a full professor position in entrepreneurship and/or innovation management to begin in August, 2013.  An earned Ph.D. in a relevant area and a scholarly record commensurate with rank as a full professor are required. Well qualified advanced associate professors are also encouraged to apply. Salary is competitive. We will begin screening applications on September 17, 2012, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled. 

Preference will be given to candidates with experience and research interests in areas compatible with MIE's focus on entrepreneurship, innovation management, strategic and international applications of technology commercialization, and strategy in high technology environments. A strong commitment to excellence in research and publications and teaching in the undergraduate, graduate, and executive education programs is emphasized. A shared commitment to helping us continue to build a leading entrepreneurship research and teaching program (including a Ph.D. program) will be essential. The Entrepreneurship Collaborative, a center within MIE, is building a set of programs and activities to support faculty whose research would benefit from doing field experiments involving local entrepreneurs and ventures. This "clinical" model will allow us to involve more of our undergraduate and graduate students in research activities and provide strong integration across theory-driven research, teaching and engagement in entrepreneurship.

We are an engaged and highly collegial group of scholars, working in one of the world's very best locations for people interested in the intersection of management and technology. Our tenured/tenure-track faculty currently includes: Professors Brad Kirkman (Department Head), Steve Allen, Steve Barr, Robert Clark, and Roger Mayer; Associate Professors Lynda Aiman-Smith, Ted Baker, Shannon Davis, Steve Markham, Paul Mulvey, Beverly Tyler, and Greggry Young; and Assistant Professors Nachiket Bhawe, Turanay Caner, and David Townsend (visiting).

Highly interdisciplinary in nature, the MIE department has faculty with research programs in entrepreneurship, strategy, management of technology and innovation, organizational leadership, and HR. The MIE department (http://poole.ncsu.edu/index-exp.php/mie/mie) and other departments in the Poole College of Management house several distinguished academic centers, including The Entrepreneurship Collaborative (TEC) (http://tec.poole.ncsu.edu/), Center for Innovation Management Studies (CIMS) (http://cims.ncsu.edu/), Biosciences Initiative (http://biosci.poole.ncsu.edu), Supply Chain Research Consortium, and the Enterprise Risk Management Initiative. We also have several international partnerships with universities in countries such as France and China.
