Berea College announces a full time, tenure-track position in the Business Program, beginning August 2012. Primary responsibilities include teaching undergraduate management courses, such as management, strategic management, human resources management, and production and operations management. Other teaching or research interests will be considered. Interest in teaching the Students in Free Enterprise course and serving as faculty sponsor for SIFE is a plus. There may also be opportunities to teach in the College's General Studies program. Preference will be given to applicants holding a Ph.D. or DBA who have full-time undergraduate teaching experience; relevant applied professional experience is also a plus. We seek candidates who can achieve excellence in teaching and who, in an undergraduate liberal arts environment, will find ways to grow professionally and to interact with students on a one-on-one basis. Faculty rank and salary will be commensurate with education, experience and scholarship record.
Application materials should include a letter of application, c.v., transcripts (unofficial transcripts are acceptable at this stage), teaching evaluations, statement of teaching philosophy, and three letters of recommendation. Applicants should submit these materials to, Ed McCormack, Program Coordinator for Economics and Business, at ed_mccormack@berea.edu. Additional materials may be requested at a later date. Review of candidates have begun, but and will continue until the position is filled. Minority candidates are encouraged to apply.
Berea College achieved national distinction as the first coeducational and interracial college in the South. With an emphasis on service to the people of Appalachia and beyond, Berea enrolls 1,600 students from 40 states and 60 countries and is among the most racially diverse private liberal arts college in the United States. Berea admits only students whose families are unable to afford the high cost of tuition and awards each of them a four-year tuition scholarship. Berea's students excel in the College's supportive but demanding academic environment, and many are the first in their families to graduate from college. Graduates distinguish themselves in a variety of fields, including social service, government, ministry, the arts, business, education, medicine, and science, and many go on to earn graduate degrees.
Located where the Bluegrass Region meets the Cumberland Mountains, the town of Berea (pop. 15,000) lies forty miles south of Lexington and is approximately two hours from Cincinnati and Louisville. More information about Berea College is available at www.berea.edu.
Berea College, in light of its mission in the tradition of impartial love and social equality, welcomes all people of the earth to learn and work here.
