Job Description:

McDaniel College invites dynamic professionals in Business to join our close-knit community as a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor. We are seeking a faculty colleague who can bring business to life for students through courses that span both theory and practice, preparing the next generation of business leaders. With a focus on engaging, student-centered teaching, the successful candidate will contribute to the vitality of our program and help us continue to differentiate McDaniel's approach to the liberal arts: hands-on, rigorous, and personally transformative.

Specifically, we seek a faculty member who will build on the department's strengths while helping to chart its next directions, ensuring that our curriculum remains responsive, creative, and forward-looking while supporting the continued growth of the program.

The position will include teaching a 3-3 load across introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses in business. In particular, we seek candidates prepared to teach:

• First Year Seminar

McDaniel's scale and spirit offer something rare in higher education?the opportunity to design innovative courses, mentor students closely, and shape the culture of an academic program in meaningful ways?within a liberal arts college that is financially stable at a time when such security is increasingly uncommon. McDaniel faculty thrive on the beauty of campus, the philosophy of the liberal arts, and the institutional support to develop innovative courses and programs that reflect both disciplinary depth and experiential learning as part of the McDaniel Commitment, our signature academic program.

Our classes challenge students to think critically, create boldly, and connect their learning to the world. We are especially eager to welcome a colleague whose work demonstrates a commitment to teaching business as both a passionate practice and a way of engaging students to think critically.

Because McDaniel College is a student-centered community, our faculty are not only dedicated educators and active scholars, but also important ambassadors for their disciplines and for the college. We seek faculty who enjoy connecting with students at all stages of their academic journey, including prospective and newly admitted students, as part of building a vibrant and inclusive intellectual community. In this spirit, faculty partner with their departments and the Office of Admissions to represent McDaniel to prospective students, share the excitement of their discipline, and help admitted students envision themselves thriving in our classrooms and across campus.

By connecting their expertise as teachers and scholars with opportunities to welcome and inspire prospective McDaniel students, faculty strengthen the academic vitality of both their departments and McDaniel College as a whole while contributing to the financial health of the college.
