    Duties: To teach undergraduate, MBA, and/or PhD level courses in management and entrepreneurship, to conduct research aimed toward top-tier journals, and to provide service to the university and the profession. The normal teaching load for this position for a research-active faculty member is two classes (6 credit hours) per fall and spring semesters with the option to teach summer courses for additional pay subject to course and funding availability.

    Required Qualifications: To be considered for this position, the applicant must have an earned doctorate degree (or hold ABD status with expected degree completion prior to August, 2017) from an AACSB accredited program in Management, preferably in Strategic Management or Entrepreneurship.  Applicants should possess a proven track record of original research and publication in quality/recognized management journals.

    The University of Mississippi is situated in Oxford, MS, an extraordinarily livable city (www.oxfordms.com/) featuring all that is best about living in the South.

Oxford has also been featured as a literary and arts destination in such publications as Southern Living, Condé Nast Traveler, and GQ. Among other cultural activities, annual events include the Oxford Film Festival and the Ford Center Performing Arts Series. Salary for this position is competitive with the market while the cost of living in Oxford is particularly low (e.g., approximately 30% lower than the Washington, DC area).
