The William and Kay Moore Entrepreneurship and Management Chair
Berea College is seeking to fill the William and Kay Moore Entrepreneurship
and Management Chair, a tenure-track position that will support both the
Entrepreneurship for the Public Good (EPG) program within the Appalachian
Center and an academic department based on the successful candidate’s
expertise. The Moore Chair is one of two endowed chairs in the innovative
EPG program, which seeks to teach students from a variety of disciplines
about the integration of leadership, entrepreneurship, and community
development to equip them to enhance the public good within the Appalachian
region and beyond. The successful candidate will have a terminal degree
and be knowledgeable of entrepreneurship literature and theories as well as
have direct entrepreneurial experience either in for-profit or not-for-
profit organizations. The candidate should also appreciate sustainable
economic development as it applies to the unique challenges and character
of Appalachia. Teaching will involve three courses within an academic
department and in general education, two courses within the EPG program,
and collaboration in the leadership of the EPG program. This appointment
is expected to be made at the assistant or associate professor level
beginning in the fall of 2007. Salary will be commensurate with
experience. Terminal degree is required and excellent teaching in an
undergraduate liberal arts environment is essential.
Berea College is a four-year institution devoted to undergraduate education
rooted in the liberal arts. The College’s mission includes special
commitments to economically disadvantaged students of high academic
ability, the Appalachian region, interracial and intercultural education,
and perspectives informed by inclusive Christian values. A full-tuition
scholarship for each student and a work program in which students
participate have long been distinctive features of a Berea education.
Though many students are the first in their families to attend college,
Berea ranks among the leading colleges in the South in the percentage of
graduates who earn Ph.D. degrees and has been named the best Comprehensive
College for a Bachelor’s Degree in the South by U.S. News and World Report,
five out of the last six years.
The town of Berea, forty miles south of Lexington, Kentucky, and two hours
from Cincinnati, is located on the edge of rolling bluegrass country and
the western foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. About 1,500 college
students, almost all residential and full-time, are enrolled in B.A. and
B.S. programs in a variety of academic departments.
Applicants should submit a letter of application, CV, transcripts, and
