This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic, innovative, growth-oriented faculty dedicated to building world-class degree programs and developing and disseminating impactful, thought-provoking scholarship at the highest levels.

• Conducting and publishing entrepreneurship research in leading academic journals (e.g., FT50, ABDC A/A*, ABS3/4).
• Teaching undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral courses exclusively in entrepreneurship.
• Writing and/or collaborating on grant proposals to secure external funding for research and relevant entrepreneurship programming.
• Meaningfully engaging in FSU's vibrant entrepreneurship and research ecosystems.

Qualifications

• A Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship or related field.
• A track record of excellence in scholarship consistent with rank.
• Proven excellence as an experiential entrepreneurship educator.
• The ability to teach an array of entrepreneurship-specific courses.
• A reputation for being a collegial, collaborative team member.

Late-stage Assistant Professors will be considered. The rank of Associate Professor may be considered for exemplary candidates who possess the requisite education, experience, and record of scholarship commensurate with such a rank.

Preferred Qualifications

• An active, established research pipeline with outcomes demonstrating the ability to publish in high-profile (e.g., FT50, ABDC A/A*, ABS3/4) journal outlets.
• First-hand experience in launching a startup and/or serving on startup / non-profit boards of directors.
• Experience writing and securing grant funding for entrepreneurship and economic development research and programming.

Other Information

FSU's undergraduate entrepreneurship programs are ranked among the Top 20 in the world by Princeton Review / Entrepreneur Magazine, and our enrollment continues to grow at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Looking forward, we are preparing to launch a new, interdisciplinary entrepreneurship PhD program built on four core pillars (research excellence, interdisciplinary, entrepreneurship education, collaborative science), which we expect this position to help support.

FSU's entrepreneurship faculty publish in leading academic journals (ET&P, JBV, SBE, JSBM, ERD), hold board positions and/or assume leadership roles in leading academic organizations (AACSB, USASBE), and serve as editors or on the editorial boards of top journals. Most are actively engaged in their own entrepreneurial pursuits, engaged in Tallahassee's vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, and are globally recognized, award-winning educators.
