About The Position

CAREER - LINE FACULTY POSITION (non-tenure-track) in Business and Society: The Department of Management at the David Eccles School of Business of the University of Utah (eccles.utah.edu/) seeks to fill a career-line, non-tenure-track faculty position, centered on business and society, starting August 2024. Successful candidates will likely hold a Ph.D. in a humanities or social science field with connections to business (for example, business history), but those with terminal degrees in other fields and extensive experience teaching business are welcome to apply. We are seeking individuals with demonstrated success in teaching and a record of scholarship and publishing. The Management Department faculty includes Bryan Bonner, Lee Boam, Kathryn Cañas, Mark J. Crowley, Jennifer Cummings, Kristina Diekmann, Lindsey Gibson, Jesse Graham, Gohar Harutyunyan, Derek Hoff, Hak-Yoon Kim, Glen Kreiner, Stacey Overholt, Aaron Phillips, Georgi Rausch, Jessie Richards, Kylie Rochford, Harris Sondak, Amelia Stillwell, Junseok Song, David Tannenbaum, and Elizabeth Tenney. This group of scholars has expertise in a broad range of organizationally relevant topics, including ethics, individual and group decision making processes, intra-group conflict, negotiations, stigma, diversity, workplace relationships, mental health, moral judgments, politics in the workplace, organizational justice, identity processes, interpersonal and business communication, the history of business, and healthcare management, among others. Our faculty are known for their research excellence, but many have also earned prestigious awards in recognition of their exceptional teaching. The David Eccles School of Business offers degree programs at the undergraduate, masters, executive, and doctoral levels. The position will focus on teaching courses that weave together liberal arts, philosophy, history, and social science, as applied to business; these include our required “Foundations of Business Thought” survey as well as targeted, upper-level courses on how business reflects and influences the broad context of human experience. The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City and offers unparalleled opportunities for outdoor recreation in the nearby Wasatch Mountains. Salt Lake City is the center of a metropolitan area with a population of approximately two million residents, extensive arts and cultural activities, and a major international airport and Delta Hub 15 minutes from downtown. Interested individuals should submit (1) a letter indicating interest, (2) a CV, (3) a teaching statement, (4) evidence of teaching effectiveness (teaching evaluations summary and additional details), (5) a writing sample, and (6) a diversity statement. Three letters of reference will be requested, upon application submission. The University of Utah recognizes that a diverse faculty benefits and enriches the educational experiences of the entire campus and greater community. This organization offers benefits to spouses, same-sex partners, and different-sex domestic partners.
