Hobart William Smith Colleges: Academic Positions: Entrepreneurial Studies

Location: Geneva, NY
Open Date: Mar 31, 2022

Description
Hobart and William Smith Colleges seeks a faculty colleague to join our expanding Entrepreneurial Studies Program. This is a one-year, non-tenure track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level beginning August 1, 2022. The appointment is renewable up to three years contingent on successful annual review and ongoing curricular needs. Responsibilities include teaching and developing courses for the minor, mentoring students, and supporting co-curricular programming. This faculty member will work closely with the minor steering committee and the current faculty of the minor.

Successful candidates should have earned a Ph.D. or terminal degree in an appropriate field related broadly to entrepreneurship, or be ABD, and have documented entrepreneurial experience, whether in the public, private, or non-profit arenas. We especially encourage newer Ph.D. graduates or soon-to-be graduates to apply.

Background

Entrepreneurial Studies is designed to develop leaders for the 21st Century by leveraging the analytical and critical thinking skills of a liberal arts education. We provide our students with the conceptual understanding, skills, and ethical foundations necessary for social, global, or private sector leadership. Our program empowers students to be capable of creating new enterprises or to be powerful agents of change within existing organizations. Practical skills taught include technical writing, oral presentation, Microsoft Excel for accounting and data visualization, networking, and teamwork.

Core courses in this interdisciplinary minor explore the foundations of entrepreneurial leadership, economic principles, and quantitative tools, and new venture creation. These core courses are supplemented by electives, both within the program and in other departments. All students must complete a senior capstone (i.e., new venture creation) course that requires students to identify and tackle a real-life challenge in the social, economic, and global environment.

Responsibilities include:

• Teaching 6 classes per year, including the capstone course for the minor. Depending on the educational background of the successful candidate, one or more of the following courses will be expected: ENTR 101: Entrepreneurial Leadership, ENTR 120: Economic Principles for the Entrepreneur, ENTR 201: Quantitative Tools for the Entrepreneur, ENTR 220: Social Innovation for the Entrepreneur, and ENTR 400: Senior Capstone.
• Potentially offering new courses for the minor, on topics such as social entrepreneurship/enterprise, social/environmental justice, legal concepts, business ethics, tech entrepreneurship, or organizational leadership.
• Advising students within the minor on independent entrepreneurial projects.
• Supporting and developing co-curricular programming (e.g., pitch competitions, hackathons, etc.) in coordination with the Centennial Center for Leadership.

Qualifications
Ideal candidates will have a true passion for entrepreneurship, not just for-profit, and a clear vision for the value of entrepreneurial studies within a liberal arts curriculum and be able to articulate that vision to students, faculty, parents, alumni, and community partners. These candidates will also display a real interest in interdisciplinary collaboration. In addition, preferred qualifications include:

• Ph.D. in Education, Entrepreneurship, Economics, Finance, Sociology, Business, Management, Leadership, Community Development, Organizational Behavior, Organizational Development, Philosophy, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Public Affairs, Public Management, or a related field;
• Practical/professional leadership, entrepreneurship, and/or management experience (broadly defined);
• Teaching experience with a record of strong teaching or evidence of teaching potential;
• Excellent written and oral communications skills; and,
• Commitment to the role and mission of a selective private liberal arts college.
