TEACHING FELLOW POSITION IN STRATEGY

The Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, College Park invites applications and nominations for a Lecturer/Tyser Teaching Fellow in Strategy to teach 18-24 credits per year, depending upon compensation and service responsibilities. Candidates must be able to teach courses in one or more of the areas of Strategic Management, Management Consulting, Global Strategy, Industry and Competitor Analysis or Implementing Strategy, Entrepreneurship and/or Innovation at MBA and EMBA levels. Evidence of teaching quality and ability to provide leadership in teaching excellence are the most important qualifications. This is a full time, non-tenure track faculty position, specializing in teaching and service. PhD or other terminal degree required.

The Robert H. Smith School of Business (www.rhsmith.umd.edu) is recognized as one of the world's leading business schools for its strong track record in both research and teaching.  The school is also known for a highly collaborative culture at the faculty as well as student levels.  Within the business school, the Management & Organization department is particularly proud to be viewed as one of the strongest departments. We expect our new hire to help make an already strong M&O department even stronger.

The Management & Organization (M&O) department consists of 30 core faculty. The group's interests and responsibilities cover the following areas: organizational behavior, human resources, strategy, globalization, and entrepreneurship. Research excellence serves as the foundation of the M&O department. A recent analysis of publications in the most prestigious journals related to the above areas indicated that, on a worldwide basis, M&O ranked among the leading five over the past five years. M&O faculty also believe in teaching excellence. Over the last several years, M&O faculty have earned the highest teaching ratings among all departments. Along with excellence in research and teaching, there is a strong culture of collaboration and intellectual synergy. The Smith School has leading edge MBA and undergraduate programs, a rapidly expanding portfolio of executive education programs including EMBA programs in both the US and China, as well as a strong doctoral program. In the most recent surveys, U.S. News & World Report ranked the Smith Undergraduate Program as #19 (Management as #10) while Financial Times ranked the Smith MBA Program as #18 in the U.S and the Smith EMBA program as #15 in the US (#1 for Corporate Strategy).

Given the Smith School's location in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area, faculty and staff at Smith enjoy not only a strong institutional environment but also the pleasures of living in a vibrant and leading global city which is very cosmopolitan, rich in world-class museums and the performing arts, architecturally delightful, full of greenery with the beautiful Potomac River flowing right through the city, within one to two hours of driving distance from not only beaches but also ski slopes, and home to some of the country's best public and private schools.

Candidates should send a CV, a listing of recently taught courses along with evidence of teaching effectiveness (e.g., teaching ratings, teaching awards), and a statement of teaching philosophy and/or teaching portfolio along with a brief cover letter highlighting their specific strengths relative to this position.  Nominations of qualified candidates will also be appreciated. Please send application materials to Ms. Erica Scarpulla (escarpulla@rhsmith.umd.edu), who is administratively assisting Dr. Gerald Suarez, Professor of Practice, Chair, Tyser Teaching Fellow Search Committee.
