Wake Forest University has a long tradition of excellence in market‑relevant teaching, and the ideal candidate should demonstrate an ability to contribute to teaching and scholarship in the School of Business. The School of Business embraces the teacher‑scholar model wherein our faculty produce original thought leadership that is visible and positively impacts practice. As a community of teacher‑scholars, we systematically and rigorously seek answers to questions of high theoretical, practical, and/or pedagogical importance.

Thus, equally important to teaching excellence, our research is of the highest quality, as evidenced by publications that address important issues in highly regarded outlets, including premier journals (such as those journals recognized by The Financial Times). Ideal candidates are accomplished teachers and scholars who have deeply considered the ways in which their scholarship can improve the practice of global business, demonstrate marketplace applications, and is in keeping with the University’s teacher‑scholar model.

Through our teaching, faculty in the School of Business focus on educating the whole person, facilitating student acquisition of deep conceptual knowledge, the attainment of a broad set of professional competencies, and the development of a clear sense of professional identity and character. Therefore, we seek a colleague who subscribes to the teacher‑scholar model, serves as an exemplary role model, and can demonstrate a commitment to teaching courses that develop students and advances knowledge.

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 through interaction, research, and engagement, and are committed to supporting our students as they prepare for and embark on fulfilling career trajectories.
