ELON UNIVERSITY
Martha and Spencer Love School of Business
Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship
The Martha and Spencer Love School of Business invites applications for a tenure-track, assistant professor position in entrepreneurship beginning fall 2016. Applicants should demonstrate evidence of effective undergraduate teaching, a promising research agenda in entrepreneurship, innovation/technology, social entrepreneurship, creativity, or related subjects, and an interest in mentoring undergraduate students. Teaching responsibilities will primarily include entrepreneurship courses, but candidates should have a willingness to teach management strategy, MBA courses, and courses in Elon’s General Studies Program.
The entrepreneurship program at Elon is in an exciting phase, including the launch of a distinctive course curriculum; a unique, student-endowed startup fund; the novel repurposing of a church into an “Innovation House” for student living; a maker-space initiative in conjunction with engineering and other departments on campus; and growing student involvement in events and competitions sponsored by the Doherty Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership. Our faculty members are also active with their own startups, inventions, and other activities that inform their research, teaching, and student mentoring. We are seeking applications from candidates who are interested in making their own contribution to this flourishing program.
