The Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver (DU) invites applications for a Chair of the Department of Management, starting Fall 2020. Academics holding a doctoral degree and qualified for tenure as either Associate or Full Professor will be considered.

Position Summary
Reporting to the Senior Associate Dean for faculty and research, the Chair will have responsibility for the continued development of an influential department distinguished by teaching and research excellence. We are open to applicants from all areas of management scholarship and all research methodologies. The candidate must demonstrate experience commensurate with full or associate professor rank. Maintenance of AACSB academic qualifications (Scholarly Academic) is required. The Associate or Full Professor and Department Chair is expected to teach courses during the academic year, which may include fall, winter, and/or spring quarters. Teaching responsibilities include both undergraduate and graduate level courses. Because of extensive administrative responsibilities, the normal teaching load of six courses per year on a quarter system will be reduced as appropriate. Tenure will be considered at the time of hire.

The College seeks a chair who will provide expertise, leadership, and a strategic focus to a department that educates students to assume leadership and consultative positions within the region and world.
