Associate/Full Professor of Management
Syracuse University
United States

As determined by the department chair

The Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises in the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University seeks to hire tenured Associate or Full Professor of Sustainability and Entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship is one of the central pillars of the Syracuse University and Whitman School academic strategic plans, as demonstrated by the presence of the standalone academic Department of Entrepreneurship & Emerging Enterprises (EEE). The EEE Department offers degree programs in entrepreneurship at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels. Its educational programs and research productivity are consistently ranked among the best in the United States, including recently being ranked #3 globally in the TCU Entrepreneurship Research Productivity rankings. Among other accolades, the EEE program received the USASBE National Model Program Award in 2018. EEE faculty are highly research active and publish regularly in leading entrepreneurship and management journals. EEE represents one of the strongest entrepreneurship research environments in the world.

The successful candidate will pursue and promote a progressive research agenda that advances both sustainability and entrepreneurship, while also contributing to ongoing research and teaching efforts within the Whitman School and among its community partners. Tenured EEE faculty members are expected to engage in world-class scholarly research, teach courses in entrepreneurship and related fields, contribute to service-related initiatives and organizational leadership, and mentor PhD students and junior faculty. Ideally, we hope the selected individual for this hire to join the faculty for the 2023-24 academic year.

This individual will join the leadership team and work to advance the program’s national and international reputation, which includes research, teaching, entrepreneurial outreach, and the professional development of PhD candidates and junior faculty.

Specifically, this individual will play a key role in the Certificate of Advanced Study in Sustainable Enterprise (CASSE) program, an award-winning, transdisciplinary initiative of the Sustainable Enterprise Partnership (SEP) that links the resources of the Whitman School with the Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems, the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and the College of Engineering and Computer Science, and other emerging sustainability-related programming on campus. This faculty member will be expected to publish in leading entrepreneurship and management journals, and have enthusiasm and ability to provide organizational leadership at the department and school levels.

Syracuse University has a long history of engaging veterans and the military-connected community through its educational programs, community outreach, and employment programs. After World War II, Syracuse University welcomed more than 10,000 returning veterans to our campus, and those veterans literally transformed Syracuse University into the national research institution it is today. The University’s contemporary commitment to veterans builds on this historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military veterans, members of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members.

Syracuse University maintains an inclusive learning environment in which students, faculty, administrators, staff, curriculum, social activities, governance, and all other aspects of campus life reflect a diverse, multi-cultural, and international worldview. The University community recognizes and values the many similarities and differences among individuals and groups. At Syracuse, we are committed to preparing students to understand, live among, appreciate, and work in an inherently diverse country and world made up of people with different ethnic and racial backgrounds, military backgrounds, religious beliefs, socio-economic status, cultural traditions, abilities, sexual orientations and gender identities. To do so, we commit ourselves to promoting a community that celebrates and models the principles of diversity and inclusivity.
