Job Summary:

Job Duties:

The Markets, Innovation, and Design (MIDE) Department at Bucknell University's Freeman College of Management invites applications for a full-time open-rank tenure-track position (e.g., assistant, advanced assistant, or associate level) to contribute to the College’s mission of providing a rigorous, experiential education, in the context of a unique national university with a vibrant liberal arts core and strong complementary professional programs. The appointment is slated to begin in August 2025.

 

We seek a teacher-scholar to develop and teach courses in the domain of marketing insights (e.g., marketing research, digital analytics, consumer analytics) along with other marketing and design courses in the existing MIDE program to students from both inside and outside of the Freeman College of Management. Given the centrality of Design Thinking in the MIDE curriculum, familiarity with this approach to innovation will be highly advantageous, for example, in the context of the introductory design course (MIDE 300) that blends design thinking with concepts from marketing and innovation. The standard teaching load at Bucknell University is five courses per academic year. For additional information pertaining to our curriculum and our faculty, please visit http://www.bucknell.edu/academics/freeman-college-management/majors-departments/markets-innovation-design.

 

Our successful candidate will be interested in integrating students into their own scholarly agenda, and we will encourage them to pursue additional collaborative teaching and scholarly initiatives with colleagues across the University. Our new colleague will have an established pipeline of scholarly work, have a track record (or show promise) of teaching excellence, and have a strong commitment to collaboration and interdisciplinarity. ABDs will be considered with the understanding that the doctoral degree must be completed within the first year of employment in order to continue employment at Bucknell.  Candidates with post Ph.D. full-time academic experience may be granted credit towards tenure. Salary is AACSB-competitive and commensurate with experience. Additionally, we offer an attractive junior faculty leave program and generous family tuition benefits.

 

Applicants should demonstrate a program of high-quality, innovative research in the candidate’s area of expertise within marketing. The extent of the record should be commensurate with the length of the candidate’s tenure in academia. The College expects tenure-track faculty to make significant and creative intellectual contributions to their fields. The Markets, Innovation, and Design faculty at Bucknell has varied research interests including consumer culture theory, marketing strategy, and the integration of marketing and design thinking.

 

The approximately 700 undergraduate students in the AACSB-accredited Freeman College of Management may choose among eight highly interdisciplinary majors that combine courses in the various fields of management, with offerings also in the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences, and engineering. Our innovative curriculum and world-class teacher-scholars earned Freeman College a top-20 ranking in the Poets & Quant’s annual survey of undergraduate business programs in each of the past 3 years. We believe that an undergraduate education combining technical skills and deep intellectual exploration is the best preparation for thoughtful and capable leaders. New faculty members must be capable of contributing to this mission through progressive teaching, advising, scholarship, and service.

 

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. As such, the successful candidate should understand and embrace the teacher-scholar model and have a demonstrated ability to work successfully with a diverse student body and a track record of inclusive, innovative pedagogy. We seek candidates who are committed to Bucknell’s efforts to create and maintain a climate that fosters the growth and development of a diverse student body, to raising perspectives that may not otherwise be vocalized in the classroom, and who are eager to ad
