Associate/Full Professor - Entrepreneurship

Associate/Full Professor – Entrepreneurship

Position Summary:

The Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins
College invites applications for a tenure-track faculty
position at the rank of Associate or Full Professor in
Entrepreneurship beginning in Fall 2027.

We seek an accomplished teacher-scholar who understands
entrepreneurship as the creation, growth, and renewal of business.
Our interests extend beyond new venture formation to include
accelerating the growth of small and midsize enterprises, scaling
established businesses, entrepreneurship through acquisition, and
developing new opportunities within existing organizations. We are
particularly interested in candidates who can connect rigorous
academic thinking with the practical challenges of growing
revenues, improving profitability, building organizational
capabilities, and sustaining competitive advantage. The Crummer
School teaches MBA students only, and we only hire experienced
faculty, many of whom have won teaching awards and have
demonstrated connections to industry practice prior to joining
Crummer. The successful candidate will enjoy teaching MBAs, aspire
to expand and develop top-tier graduate teaching skills, and
demonstrate a strong commitment to best practices in teaching MBA
students in-person and in blended formats that incorporate online
learning.

Teaching will focus primarily on graduate courses in
entrepreneurship across Crummer's four MBA programs: Early
Advantage MBA (EAMBA - full-time students), Accelerated MBA (AMBA -
full-time students with a STEM focus), Professional MBA (evening
part-time students), and Executive MBA (primarily weekend students
with substantial prior experience). We offer students the
opportunity to gain an Entrepreneurship Concentration, and we also
offer a Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship. Given the array
of different programs mentioned above, our student body at Crummer
includes varying ages and levels of experience, ranging from recent
college graduates to senior executives. Our students rightfully
expect much of us, and we encourage them to challenge and stimulate
us as much as we do them.

A defining feature of entrepreneurship at Crummer is our engagement
with the Central Florida business community. We view
entrepreneurship as a driver of business formation, expansion, and
regional economic development. Our faculty and students engage with
entrepreneurs, business owners, family enterprises, growth-oriented
small and midsize companies, and established organizations pursuing
new opportunities. Through applied projects, consulting, mentoring,
and executive education, we seek to help businesses address real
challenges in strategy, marketing, finance, operations, technology
adoption, and organizational growth.

For this position, we are particularly interested in someone who
can successfully guide students toward a deep understanding of both
the analytical processes that go into entrepreneurial businesses
and the judgment required to frame meaningful business problems,
evaluate data and analytical outputs, recognize limitations and
uncertainties, and translate the analyses into sound managerial
decisions and strategy-making.

The Crummer School places high value on faculty who can work
effectively with organizations, managers, and executives. The
willingness and ability to consult with companies, understand real
business problems and opportunities, and design and deliver
high-quality executive education is important. Our entrepreneurship
faculty engage with business owners, entrepreneurs, executives,
investors, and professional advisers across businesses at different
stages of development. These relationships create opportunities for
student consulting projects, business growth initiatives,
mentorship, executive education, and applied learning that
addresses real organizational challenges.

The Faculty Role at Crummer
Crummer is a
graduate business school in which teaching and student development
are the largest part of the faculty role. Faculty responsibilities
are approximately 50 percent teaching and student development, 30
percent scholarship, and 20 percent service and institutional
stewardship. The standard teaching load is 15 credits per year. At
Crummer, teaching means more than in-classroom hours and course
delivery. We expect faculty to know their students, understand
their aspirations, advise and mentor them, and help them connect
what they learn directly to their professional development.
Engagement with businesses is an important part of that work.
Faculty who consult with companies, teach executives, and maintain
strong relationships with managers and business leaders bring
current problems, opportunities, and perspectives back into the
classroom. These relationships frequently also create experiential
learning opportunities, strengthen curriculum, and help students
connect more effectively to the world of practice.

We seek a colleague who combines academic strength with genuine
expert engagement in entrepreneurship. Thus, the successful
candidate will be someone who wants to work closely with students,
remain connected to business theory and practice, engage credibly
with managers and executives, collaborate with colleagues, and take
shared responsibility for the quality and reputation of the School.
In addition, of course scholarship remains an important part of the
role. Faculty are expected to maintain an active research agenda
and a record of peer-reviewed scholarship consistent with Crummer's
faculty bylaws and AACSB expectations for a graduate school of
business.

In terms of faculty service, key elements include faculty
governance, curriculum and program development, admissions and
recruitment, and other work that contributes to the effective
operation and continued development of the School. As a relatively
small graduate business school (we currently have 18 full-time
faculty members), we value faculty who themselves fully embrace the
worth of being a good institutional citizen and steward of Crummer
and Rollins College. We do not have departments within the Crummer
School and we highly value collaboration among faculty across the
various business disciplines, as well as with our staff members.
Within the Crummer culture, we are nimble and operate with little
bureaucracy.

The Opportunity
The successful candidate for
Full/Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship will step into an
already active entrepreneurship program with a long and successful
history at Crummer. The new colleague will also have the
opportunity to help shape how Crummer teaches entrepreneurship and
innovation in today's rapidly changing environment, develop new
courses and learning experiences, work across disciplines, engage
with companies, contribute to executive education, and build
connections with Central Florida's incredibly vibrant business
community. They will be supported by faculty colleagues teaching
related topics such as design thinking, data analytics, and all of
the traditional functional areas of business.
