Tenure Track Faculty Position in Markets, Innovation, and Design

The Markets, Innovation, and Design (MIDE) program at Bucknell University seeks a full-time, tenure-track faculty member to teach a range of courses and to successfully develop a high-quality program of meaningful scholarship to begin in fall 2018. We expect to hire at the Assistant level but will consider outstanding candidates at other ranks.

This position is open to candidates with an array of related disciplinary backgrounds, including not only marketing but also others such as product development, user experience design, product/services design, etc. The College of Management is committed to diversity, inclusion, and student-centered pedagogy, and we seek candidates who share these commitments.

MIDE is one of four programs of study in Bucknell's AACSB accredited College of Management. Overall, the MIDE program incorporates strategic marketing, the design mindset and creative process, deep understanding of consumer-product/service relationships, prototyping based on consumer insights, and managing the marketing process.

Bucknell University embraces the teacher-scholar ideal; therefore, candidates should be dedicated to excellence in teaching and scholarship and desire to make an intellectual contribution in both arenas. In keeping with Bucknell's liberal arts tradition, the College of Management supports both conventional scholarship and creative scholarship that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. The teaching load for this position is five course sections per academic year. We seek candidates who want to work in a collegial, interdisciplinary environment, collaborate with faculty ranging from the arts to engineering, develop innovative learning experiences, support our students through the mentoring/advising process, and serve the Bucknell University community.

A record of or potential for excellence in undergraduate teaching and research is required. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or terminal degree or be ABD in a relevant field at the time of appointment. If the successful candidate has a terminal degree and full-time teaching experience, up to three years of credit toward tenure could be granted.

Bucknell University, an Equal Opportunity Employer, believes that students learn best in a diverse, inclusive community and is therefore committed to academic excellence through diversity in its faculty, staff, and students. We seek candidates who are committed to Bucknell's efforts to create a climate that fosters the growth and development of a diverse student body, and we encourage applications from members of groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education.
