Open Rank Position – Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Cluster Initiative in Global Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WaSH)
North Carolina State University
Poole College of Management
The Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program, North Carolina (NC) State University, seeks applicants for tenured or tenure-track faculty position as part of the Global Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (Global WaSH) Faculty Cluster. The aim of Global WaSH is to position NC State as a leading university in conducting critical research and teaching in vital and complex water and sanitation issues. Applicants are sought with expertise in entrepreneurship and innovation, with interests in technological innovation and adoption, social entrepreneurship, and related areas with WaSH-relevant applications. The Global WaSH cluster will comprise a group of highly promising and leading faculty members who will address the scientific, social, and policy issues associated with providing sustainable water and sanitation. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the WaSH challenge, this cluster hiring initiative encompasses research areas in environmental science and technology, public health, social science and socioecology, entrepreneurship, development economics, and public policy. We expect that new solutions, including new waste conversion technologies, data-driven business concepts, and social science innovations, will arise out of this interdisciplinary focus.
We invite you to explore more information about the Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program and this cluster at

The candidates should have a strong capacity to teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Priority will be given to candidates that have demonstrated interdisciplinary collaborations that cut across academic units. Inclusiveness and diversity are academic imperatives and thus university goals. The University is particularly interested in candidates with experience in working with students from diverse backgrounds and who have a demonstrated commitment to improving access to higher education for students from underrepresented groups.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, and contact information for references. Applicants should also submit a vision statement that discusses how the applicant would fit and work within the Global WaSH cluster. Materials for consideration will be accepted electronically via
