Candidates should be passionate and committed to entrepreneurship research and teaching, be willing to collaborate with faculty from other disciplines, exhibit intellectual curiosity, and have a strong interest in curriculum innovation.  Experience teaching in a graduate program, executive education, international program, integrated or distance learning program is highly beneficial.
