The Department of General Management Resources at Mount Royal University invites applications for a tenure‑track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning July 1, 2026. We seek an individual who can contribute meaningfully to the general management program. The candidate will teach courses that align with their expertise, which may include General Management core classes (e.g., Management Principles and Practices, Organizational Behaviour, and Strategic Management) and/or departmental electives (e.g., Corporate Social Responsibility, Governance & Ethical Issues, and Environmental Management).

The successful candidate may also have the option of developing and delivering a special topic(s) course in General Management in the future. Applicants are encouraged to highlight their qualifications and interests in each applicable subject area of interest.

New faculty are hired into one of two work patterns. The teaching/ scholarship/ service pattern (TSS) has a focus on teaching with the requirement that the faculty member is involved in a research program as well as service to the Mount Royal community. The teaching/ service pattern (TS) has a focus on teaching and service only. There is an option to change work patterns after tenure.

Faculty are expected to teach six 3‑credit hour courses per academic year on the TSS pattern or eight 3‑credit hour courses per academic year on the TS pattern. Class sizes typically average between 35‑40 students.
