The
College of Business at Ohio University invites applications for the
Director of the Center for Entrepreneurship (CE) with the possibility of
also serving as the O'Bleness Endowed Chair of Entrepreneurship. We
seek a dynamic, energetic and collegial director who will be the

Entrepreneurship Major, the Entrepreneurship Certificate, the various
entrepreneurship-related student organizations, and related research
initiatives). S/he will assist in academic planning; teach classes
within the various academic programs; cultivate relationships in the
College and University; manage the academic budget; and collaboratively

in the University and is a joint venture between the College of Business
(www.cob.ohio.edu) and the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs (www.ohio.edu/voinovichschool/index.cfm).
The University is very committed to assisting high growth
entrepreneurial firms, with an emphasis on firms in the Appalachian
region. We have developed and support several early stage equity funds
and the third largest rural angel network in the country.
