Description

Assistant Professor of Business

 

Spartanburg Methodist College invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty appointment as an Assistant Professor of Business beginning in August 2027.  We seek a candidate with the credentials and interest to teach undergraduate courses primarily in Economics (both Macroeconomics and Microeconomics) as well as Business Statistics and Business Analytics. Additional ability to teach courses in other areas such as Management or Marketing would also be welcome. Other possible courses could include: Intro to Business, Business Management, Operations Management, Marketing Research, Professional Sales, and other courses as needed.

 

Responsibilities include a broad contribution to the program and college by teaching four undergraduate courses per semester, engaging in curriculum development, participating in campus committees, and involvement with other college-wide events. Although the primary method of instruction is face-to-face, some online courses may be required based on the needs of the department. The most competitive candidates will have a clearly articulated teaching philosophy; experience with first-generation, non-traditional, and/or traditionally underserved student populations; and a commitment to teaching excellence.

 

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to a growing department in a welcoming collegiate environment that values innovative education. Class sizes typically range from 15 – 30 students, which allows instructors to be creative with course delivery and for students to receive more individual attention.  Additionally, Spartanburg Methodist College is ideally located in the Upstate South Carolina area, and is convenient to Atlanta, Charlotte, Asheville, and Greenville. Spartanburg itself is also a great place to live and work and offers a wide variety of activities while maintaining the best qualities of a smaller community. Our city of only 38,000 people is home to 7 colleges and universities, which add a variety of education and cultural opportunities to a community that already supports multiple music venues and theater companies, a ballet, a symphony, and a variety of dining experiences. We also enjoy a relatively temperate and sunny climate that allows residents to enjoy the many outdoor activities in the area nearly year-round.   Spartanburg is routinely mentioned in “Best Places to Live” lists in national publications; was named South Carolina's first Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists; and is served by a Chamber of Commerce that recently received national recognition for its outstanding work in the community.
