Posting Text | The Ness School of Management and Economics at South Dakota State University (SDSU) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Management. Attached to the position is a three-year-termed, renewable Nies Early Career Faculty Scholar designation that provides $30,000 annually to support, at the direction of the named early career faculty scholar, research, outreach, and student-scholarship outcomes in management that strategically align with Nies Endowment program and the strategic plan of the Ness School. The Ness School seeks a dynamic, innovative scholar. Research outcomes associated with this position must satisfy the academic standards AACSB associates with its faculty-status classification, Scholarly Academic. Teaching responsibilities associated with this position include undergraduate and graduate sequences of business and management analytics, including, for example, advanced business decision science, operations management, and organizational management. The Ness School, which includes approximately 30 full-time faculty members and a team of academic advisors, embodies an intellectual philosophy that economics and quantitative analysis are foundational to thriving in and critically assessing a modern global economy. In keeping with the land-grant mission of the university, the school is the premier source for economics and business intelligence in the region. The school engages its stakeholders in the classroom, through scholarship, and through outreach—formally through SDSU Extension and otherwise. The school is a unit of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. The Ness School is in the process of securing AACSB accreditation, managing significant enrollment growth in its majors, and balancing new opportunities in core business fields with its traditional strengths in economics and quantitative analysis. In its research, teaching, and outreach efforts, the school embraces interdisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration. The more than 1,000 students who major in the Ness School complete coursework in accounting, and business finance, intermediate economics, calculus, and statistics; and students who major in business economics, operations management, entrepreneurial studies, and agricultural business complete a comprehensive suite of business courses, including a management-core curriculum. Meanwhile, thousands of students pursue the school’s minors, including those in accounting, marketing, management, and real estate. Students enrolled in the school’s master’s program in economics complete either an economic-theory option, which emphasizes applied economic research in the form of a graduate thesis, or a business-economics option, which requires courses in managerial economics, advanced business decision science, financial management, marketing strategy and analytics, and a capstone experience that potentially collaborates with industry. Additionally, the school offers a master’s program in operations management. A graduate real-estate certificate is available as well. This is a 9-month, full-time, benefit eligible, tenure-track position. The position is supervised by the Director of the Ness School of Management and Economics.
