The Department of International Business invites applications and nominations for a tenure-track position in International Finance beginning August 2010. Teaching load will normally comprise six undergraduate courses annually. The ability to teach the survey international business course would be an asset. The primary course is international finance, an accelerated introductory course in finance that focuses on international finance while reinforcing basic finance concepts. There are also opportunities for electives in the area of international finance. The responsibilities of the position include academic advising and service to the College of Arts and Science and to the Department of International Business.
A terminal degree (Ph.D.; D.B.A.) and international professional or academic experience are required; applicants expecting to complete the academic requirements by summer 2010 will be considered. Applicants must apply on-line at www.rollinsjobs.com and should submit current vita, cover letter describing their interest in the position, a recent writing sample, and three reference letters. Screening of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
The undergraduate International Business (INB) program is distinct in that it operates within a college of liberal arts: it is not part of a business school. The INB department offers a comprehensive, liberal arts based, interdisciplinary approach to the study of international business. All INB majors take courses in business, area studies, and a foreign language and must complete an approved international business internship and study abroad experience. We are highly committed to teaching and student-centered learning, program development, and new educational technologies, in addition to more traditional scholarship. The successful candidate will be committed to the teaching of business and finance in a liberal arts setting.
Through its mission, Rollins College is committed to creating a fully inclusive, just community that embraces multiculturalism; persons of color and other historically under-represented groups are therefore encouraged to apply. The College’s equal opportunity policy is inclusive of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and Rollins offers domestic partner benefits.
