JOB TITLE:
Assistant Professor – Marketing
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The department seeks candidates who can contribute in meaningful ways across all three pillars of academia (i.e., research, teaching, and service). We seek a marketing generalist who is willing and able to teach a range of courses across the undergraduate and graduate marketing curriculum, based on departmental needs. The successful candidate must demonstrate a passion for innovative, experiential-oriented teaching and contribute to the strong teaching reputation of the department’s faculty. Familiarity with contemporary marketing practices and the integration of emerging technologies (e.g., digital marketing tools, social media, AI) into teaching is valued, but no particular marketing specialization is required. The standard teaching load in the college for research-active faculty is 2/2. The department seeks to minimize course preps for assistant professors, as well as research-active faculty.
Further, this professor will be expected to conduct high-quality peer-reviewed research resulting in publication in leading journals, in addition to other high-quality scholarly work, and, thus, contribute to the growing research culture of the department. They will also show a propensity for practical translation of their research, helping university stakeholders see value in college research. The department will annually provide funding, and faculty may apply at the college or university level for summer funding and research grants to support research. Optimally, this professor will contribute to program innovations within the college, along with fulfilling other meaningful institutional and professional service responsibilities. Given a PhD program in marketing in our department, the ideal candidate would also be willing to engage with PhD students, at a minimum by attending paper talks and supporting faculty-student interaction in possible GA/TA roles. As a land-grant institution, the University of Wyoming values outreach and engagement that strengthen connections between the university, businesses, and communities throughout Wyoming and beyond, and the ideal candidate will demonstrate the capability to contribute to these efforts. However, the department seeks to shield assistant professors from heavy service demands (including to doctoral students and to the department/college/university).
