We are seeking a highly qualified candidate whose rank aligns with their credentials.

Current doctoral students should be on track to complete all degree requirements before their hire date at Menlo College.

We are seeking an enthusiastic individual eager to collaborate on developing and delivering innovative, practice-oriented learning experiences, teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level, and actively participating in a community of scholars. The business world is undergoing significant transformation, with Silicon Valley in the Bay Area at the epicenter of these changes. Here at Menlo College, we have a remarkable opportunity—and responsibility—to prepare our students to positively impact this ever-evolving world.

We strongly prefer candidates with substantial relevant work experience or research directly related to the practice of their discipline. The ideal candidate will have the interest and aptitude to build relationships with organizations in Silicon Valley and the greater San Francisco Bay Area and a desire to participate in courses and programs closely aligned with business analytics and information systems, including project-based collaborations between students, faculty, and local organizations. Preference will be given to candidates that, in addition to their expertise in business analytics and information systems, also have a teaching and research focus on those areas.

Key Responsibilities

• The teaching workload for faculty members in the Menlo College School of Business who are actively engaged in scholarly activities, hold a terminal degree, and complete one PRJ requirement annually is set at 3-3, encompassing both the Fall and Spring semesters. Absent fulfillment of the PRJ requirement, the teaching workload will be 3-4.

• Undertake and publish scholarship grounded in business analytics and information systems practice to maintain AACSB SA status.

• Engage actively in shared governance and other service assignments on campus.

• Mentor and advise undergraduate and graduate students.
