Candidates should have an existing, meaningful program of scholarship and a plan for continuing that program into the future. The Freeman College supports both traditional scholarship and creative scholarship that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. We encourage applications from candidates with expertise in any of the wide array of fields relevant to the management of organizations.
Successful candidates will co-teach Management 101, Bucknell's hallmark experiential and reflective undergraduate principles-of-management course, as well as other undergraduate courses in management according to the candidate's own interests and areas of competence. The unique nature of Management 101 requires that candidates for the Chair be enthusiastic about teaching with a team of professors and undergraduate teaching assistants and be capable of engaging in intense teaching in-the-moment on a regular basis. Candidates with some background in organizational behavior and/or stakeholder management are particularly well-suited to teaching MGMT 101, but we will give full consideration to other candidates as well. The normal teaching load at Bucknell is 5 course-credits per year: Management 101 counts as 1.5 course-credits per section, and the successful candidate will typically teach 2 sections of Management 101 in one semester, comprising 28 students per section; the candidate will teach two other courses or two sections of one other course in the other semester.
As part of the Management and Organizations Department, the Chair will also be responsible for advising students.
The Freeman College offers innovative professional education in the context of one of the nation's leading liberal arts universities. We believe that an undergraduate education that combines technical skills and deep intellectual exploration is the best preparation for thoughtful and capable leaders. The Freeman College strives to recruit faculty members, staff, and students from diverse backgrounds who bring myriad viewpoints to our community, thereby facilitating the cultivation of curiosity, open-mindedness, humility, enlightened perspectives, and other valuable traits critical for learning and growth. We seek faculty members capable of contributing to this mission through teaching, mentoring, and scholarship. Further, our faculty take seriously their responsibilities to contribute to the further development of the University and their own fields of study.
