The Marketing Entrepreneurship and Innovation Department at the Robert J. Manning School of Business, University of Massachusetts Lowell, invites applications for a one-year Visiting Faculty position for the 2022-23 academic year.

This visiting position is primarily in the field of marketing, with a preferred ability to teach courses in sales management to undergraduate students, in-person and on-line.  This is a one-year contracted position that would be a good fit for a newly graduated PhD, an Assistant Professor without a full-time position, a strong ABD candidate, or a practitioner with significant and relevant professional experience.

The MEI Department has two main areas - Marketing and Entrepreneurship - and currently delivers programs in Undergraduate, Masters, and Ph.D. programs in both areas, including two undergraduate major concentrations, two minors, two graduate certificates, two MBA options, one MS program, and two PhD concentrations.

In addition to traditional face-to-face course offerings, UMass Lowell has a large and growing set of online courses and programs. The standard teaching load for this job is 3-4 courses per semester, depending on research activity.

Located 25 miles northwest of Boston, UMass Lowell has over 19,000 students and is one of the largest public universities in New England. The Manning School has over 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students and is accredited by the AACSB-International.
