SFBU’s mission is to offer inclusive, innovative, and inspirational education for lifelong careers and our vision is to set the standard as a national model of higher education in service of the common good. At SFBU, students come first. We prioritize students’ needs by fostering personal engagement among students, faculty, and staff. We are committed to providing affordable quality education with a deep commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. We encourage you to learn more about SFBU by reviewing our strategic plan at https://www.sfbu.edu/strategic-plan . San Francisco Bay University is seeking a dynamic and dedicated Professor of Practice of Business to deliver key content in SFBU’s Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Business Analytics, Graduate Certificate in Business Management, and Bachelor of Science in Business, as well as contribute to our integrated and innovative core curriculum. The successful candidate will be our academic subject matter expert in business, contributing and ensuring an innovative, high-quality, student-centric education in business and the core curriculum, combining academic expertise with real-world, practical experience. This full-time, non-tenure-track faculty position offers an exciting opportunity to help transform higher education. This position does not offer visa sponsorship. You must be authorized to work in the US. Teaching is one of the noblest professions, and higher education students deserve instructors and institutions that value teaching as a number one priority. We mean it when we value teaching and professors because we believe students deserve the best.

  • The Professor of Practice is an 18-month position, and faculty are expected to teach 9 courses per year.
  • Courses are offered every term (i.e., fall, spring, summer), and teaching schedules will vary between 2 and 4 courses per term.
  • Classes are capped at 20 students per course.
  • This position reports to the Chair of the Business Department.
  • Teaching Excellence : We seek faculty who prioritize student learning through innovative, engaging, and inclusive teaching methods. At SFBU, teaching goes beyond delivering content; it is about designing meaningful, applied, and student-centered learning experiences. A purely lecture-based approach does not align with our vision; instead, we value instructors who facilitate active, experiential learning, foster critical thinking, and integrate real-world applications. Faculty should demonstrate pedagogical expertise, adaptability to diverse student needs, and a commitment to continuous improvement, creating a dynamic, collaborative classroom that prepares students for success in a rapidly evolving world.
  • Curriculum Development: Collaborate with colleagues on the development of the core curriculum and assure industry alignment with all business curricula. Incorporate the latest advancements in generative AI and other evolving technologies with disciplinary and community/industry needs and emerging trends, ensuring our students are well-prepared for their academic and professional careers.
  • Advisement and Mentorship: Support students, fostering their holistic growth, wellness, academic success, and career readiness.
  • Inclusive Education: Implement innovative and inclusive teaching best practices that reflect our core value of providing access and inclusion to a diverse student body.
  • Engagement: Foster student engagement through collaboration with practitioners, organizations, and community/industry professionals to help students gain practical experience through internships, student-engaged research projects, and partnerships.
  • Quality Improvement: Active engagement in course and program-level assessment design, data collection, review, and reporting. The professor of practice must also be committed to their professional development and contribute to the broader educational community through ongoing self-assessment and mentorship.
  • Professional Learning: Attend teacher training and professional learning activities offered by SFBU’s Center for Empowerment & Pedagogical Innovation (CEPI). Participate in student-centered formative and summative assessments of teaching performance. Stay current with emerging developments in business, pedagogy, and related fields by participating in scholarly activities, conferences, and workshops.
  • Service: Serve on various committees within the academic department and/or at the institutional level. These committees may be related to curriculum development, student affairs, faculty governance, or administrative decision-making.
  • Ph.D. or D.B.A. in Business, Management, Marketing, Finance, Leadership, or a related field.
  • Demonstrated teaching experience and a commitment to excellence in pedagogy.
  • A passion for mentoring and guiding students in their academic and professional growth.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues, students, and community partners.
  • Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in education and practice.
