Job Qualifications

ability to contribute to the teaching quality of the School of Business.
The School focuses on educating the whole person, with our faculty members
facilitating students' acquisition of deep conceptual knowledge, their

development of a clear sense of professional identity and character.
Therefore, we seek a student-centric colleague who subscribes to this
holistic educational philosophy, serves as an exemplary role model, and can
demonstrate a commitment to teaching courses that develop students in all
three of these areas.

Moreover, we also seek an educator who is dedicated to four central foci in
our educational mission - that is, who has a track record of developing the
following strengths in others:

  *   Impactful - Our graduates are able to make immediate, meaningful
contributions to their organizations through their ability to think
strategically, act practically, and communicate effectively.
  *   Professional - Our graduates create value for others; embrace a
professional identity and understand and commit to stewardship of the
honor, traditions, and productive and innovative culture of their
profession; and work to strengthen their community using the skill and
expertise of their professional training.
  *   Honorable - To achieve high levels of performance while maintaining
the highest standards of individual character, our graduates lead ethically
and exhibit personal strengths that enable success with integrity.
  *   Global - To effectively lead across cultural and geographical
boundaries, our graduates leverage diversity and demonstrate a global
mindset.

Because we are preparing students to succeed and flourish in the
profession, we seek to hire colleagues who understand the marketplace,
desire to be deeply connected to it on a continuing basis, and are
committed to supporting our students as they prepare for and embark on
fulfilling career trajectories.  Applicants with demonstrated ability to
design and deliver educational experiences that are valued by industry will
be preferred.

Given the rich resources of our BB&T Center for the Study of Capitalism,
