    Please post the following. Thank you!


    Oakland University's School of Business Administration is recruiting a
    tenure track faculty member to teach not only courses in his or her business
    discipline but also at least one MBA course in Entrepreneurship, Technology
    Commercialization Management, New Product Development, or Venture Capital.
    The rank is open but we anticipate filling the position at the senior
    assistant or associate professor levels. The candidate should be able to
    provide leadership and support in developing a collaborative relationship
    with the newly established incubator at Oakland University, the College of
    Arts and Sciences and other Schools within Oakland University who are
    interested in building programs around entrepreneurship.

    Applicants must have:

    . Ph.D. in a business discipline or related field from an AACSB
    accredited university or equivalent by August 15, 2007

    . Research record in at least one of the areas in which we are
    recruiting.

    . Evidence or expectation of effective teaching in one of the areas in
    which we are recruiting and in a functional business discipline

    . Potential for collaborating with the Oakland University INCubator
    and entrepreneurship programs in other Oakland University Schools

    A track record of published research in peer reviewed academic journals,
    effective teaching in an area in which we are recruiting, collaboration with
    businesses, or a proven ability to obtain external funding will enhance an
    applicant's portfolio.

    Oakland University enrolls over 17,000 students and is located 25 miles
    north of Detroit in Oakland County. Oakland County has the fifth highest per
    capita income for U.S. counties with over 1 million residents and is the
    home of Automation Alley, a consortium of over 400 high technology
    companies. DaimlerChrysler's North American headquarters is immediately
    adjacent to Oakland University. The university's location offers the
    characteristics of a small town, family-oriented environment and the
    proximity to a metropolitan area that provides varied cultural, sports, and
    entertainment activities.

    The School of Business Administration has AACSB accreditation at the
    undergraduate and graduate level. It has four departments (Economics,
    Accounting/Finance, Decision and Information Sciences, and
    Management/Marketing) and 60 full-time faculty. For more information visit
    the website www.sba.oakland.edu.

    The Oakland University INCubator supports new technology-based and life
    science ventures with decision support technology, business counseling
    services, and financial/capital acquisition assistance. It is committed to
    commercializing technology and life sciences innovations emerging from both
    the university and the regional high-technology industry.

    Interested candidates should submit a letter of application, curriculum
    vitae, Ph.D. transcripts, three letters of reference, and record of teaching
    experiences to:
