successful candidate will have a Ph.D. or D.B.A. in business with strong
preparation for teaching logistics operations courses.  A doctorate in
business acquired no later than the effective date of appointment is

Consortium (ADTEC), located on the campus of Mid-South Community College
in West Memphis, AR.  The ADTEC program is funded by the Arkansas
General Assembly, on two year cycle.  This position is non-tenure track,
and renewal is contingent on continued funding.

 

Responsibilities

 

The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate courses
in supply chain management, transportation and logistics, with an
emphasis on logistics operations.  Additionally, he/she will be expected
to engage in scholarly research, interface with the transportation
industry and major public funding agencies, and participate in
curriculum and program development.  Participation in professional
activities such as student advising and business outreach is expected.  

 

Arkansas State University and Mid-South Community College are involved
in a planning process for a National Science Center of Excellence in
Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics.  This partnership will
include the U.S. Department of Labor and other community colleges and
universities across the nation.  A successful candidate for this
position will serve as Principal Investigator for this Center.
