Major/Essential Functions:

Texas Tech University invites applications and nominations for a Professor of Practice position in the Marketing and Supply Chain Management Area at the Rawls College of Business. This non‐tenure track position is open to all levels of rank (Assistant, Associate, or Full), but an experienced teaching professional in supply chain management is expected. At a minimum, candidates must have a graduate business degree in logistics, supply chain management, or closely related field. The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in logistics or supply chain management, meaningful industry work experience in supply chain management roles, university level teaching expertise in supply chain management courses, a demonstrated record or potential for publishing in top-tier and sectional-level academic SCM journals, exceptional communication skills, a student-centered service orientation, and the ability to also teach undergraduate/graduate SCM and marketing courses.  Candidates will be expected to have expertise in core supply chain management related functions (i.e., Logistics, Operations, Sourcing), an inclusive supply chain orientation, and an appreciation for the interface between marketing and supply chain management functions.  Candidates who have very strong records of scholarship supported by extramural funding and who have the proven capacity or clear potential to bring externally sponsored research to Texas Tech University are encouraged to apply. Service to the area, college, and university is expected and appropriate to rank.  The position has a 3‐3 teaching load and competitive salary. This new position will assist current faculty as needed with all supply chain management courses and programs. The supply chain major currently has 120 students, with robust connections with several organizations, and great potential to grow. Accordingly, prominent among our priorities for SCM are: (i) developing and/or strengthening curriculum to make our students career-ready and (ii) developing and leveraging our existing resources, capabilities, and relationships including faculty members and business organizations. Effective date of employment will be the beginning of the Fall 2023 semester.

Qualified candidates should apply submit (1) a letter of interest, (2) a curriculum vitae, (3) a diversity statement, and (4) a summary of teaching evaluations (in particular, the key “instructor effectiveness” metric) for the last three years. Review of applications will begin immediately.
