Assistant Professor, Sport Management

The College of Business at Anderson University cordially invites applications for a professional-track, ten-month instructional position in Sport Management at the rank of assistant professor. The preferred start date for the position is Fall 2024. An earned doctorate in Business Management with an emphasis on sport management or a closely related business field from a regionally accredited institution is strongly preferred, though ABD will also be considered if the doctorate is earned by start of employment.

Faculty could have a potential teaching schedule that includes undergraduate and graduate classes offered at the Anderson main campus, the Greenville campus, and/or online.
