Overview
The Wake Forest University School of Business is seeking qualified candidates for a clinical faculty (non-tenure track) position in Organizational Behavior (OB) to start July 1, 2027. This individual will be ranked (as appropriate, including Assistant/Associate/Full) as a Teaching Professor, Professor of the Practice, or Lecturer and will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in organizational behavior, leadership, management, and ethics in business. The position offers a highly competitive package of compensation and benefits.
Candidates should be prepared to provide evidence of prior teaching effectiveness at the undergraduate and/or graduate level(s) and have at least five years of teaching experience.

Job Qualifications
The School of Business embraces the teacher-scholar model. As a community of teacher-scholars, we systematically and rigorously seek and share answers to questions of high theoretical, practical, and/or pedagogical importance. Although this position is primarily focused on teaching, ideal candidates can also contribute by engaging in practice-driven thought leadership through activities such as sharing on social media, writing practice-focused article/books, making radio or television appearances, and pursuing collaborative projects with industry partners.
