*JENKINS DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP - NC STATE UNIVERSITY*


The Department of Management, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (MIE) at
North Carolina State University’s Poole College of Management welcomes
applications for a Distinguished University Professor (Chair) in
Entrepreneurship to begin in August, 2016.



We seek an individual with a proven scholarly research record and a
renowned reputation in the field of entrepreneurship, with a secondary
focus on strategy, innovation, and/or management of technology. Candidates
will have an earned doctorate, a sustained record of publishing in top
journals, and proven excellence in teaching at all levels. Salary is
competitive. We will begin screening applications immediately, but
applications will be accepted until the position is filled. This position
is part of the College’s continued commitment to grow our presence in
entrepreneurship. Anticipated starting date is August, 2016, but is
flexible.



A shared commitment to helping us continue to build a leading
entrepreneurship research and teaching program (including a Ph.D. program)
will be essential. The Entrepreneurship Collaborative, a center within MIE,
is building a set of programs and activities (e.g., NC State
Entrepreneurship Clinic) to support faculty whose research would benefit
from doing field experiments involving local entrepreneurs and ventures.
This “clinical” model will allow us to involve more of our undergraduate
and graduate students in research activities and provide strong integration
across theory-driven research, teaching, and engagement in
entrepreneurship. The person is this position would take a leadership role
in these efforts.



We are an engaged and highly collegial group of scholars, working in one of
the world's very best locations for people interested in the intersection
of entrepreneurship, management, and technology. Our tenured/tenure-track
faculty currently includes: Professors Brad Kirkman (Department Head),
Steve Allen, Steve Barr, Robert Clark, Steve Markham, Roger Mayer and
Beverly Tyler; Associate Professors Shannon Davis, Paul Mulvey, and Greg
Young; and Assistant Professors Nachiket Bhawe and Jeff Pollack.



Highly interdisciplinary in nature, the MIE department has faculty with
research programs in entrepreneurship, strategy, management of technology
and innovation, organizational behavior, and human resources. The MIE
department (http://poole.ncsu.edu/index-exp.php/mie/mie) and other
departments in the Poole College of Management house several distinguished
academic centers, including The Entrepreneurship Collaborative (TEC) (
http://tec.poole.ncsu.edu/), Center for Innovation Management Studies (CIMS
) (http://cims.ncsu.edu/), Biosciences Initiative (
http://biosci.poole.ncsu.edu), Supply Chain Research Cooperative (
http://scm.ncsu.edu), and the Enterprise Risk Management Initiative (
http://poole.ncsu.edu/erm/). We also have several international
partnerships with universities around the globe. Our faculty collaborate
actively with faculty across the university and beyond.



North Carolina State University is located in Raleigh, NC, within minutes
of the technology-rich companies of the Research Triangle Park region and
also quite near Duke University and UNC at Chapel Hill (
http://www.visitraleigh.com/). With over 34,000 students and over 200
degree programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, professional, and doctoral
levels, NC State University is the largest university in North Carolina and
is a major research university with traditional strengths in science and
technology.


MIE faculty have participated actively in winning two recent National
Science Foundation Engineering Research Centers: FREEDM and ASSIST. Our
1000- acre Centennial Campus adjoins the 700-acre main campus and has been
recently selected as the Best University Research Park in the United
States. The Research Triangle area is routinely and repeatedly judged as
among the best places in the country to start and grow a business and as a
great place to live for people of all ages. The local cultural and arts
scene would do much larger cities proud. You can enjoy the mountains (the
best east of the Rockies) and the beach (endless and freely accessible)
during the same weekend, stopping to enjoy several large recreational lakes
along the way.
