Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Applied Economics and Policy, Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, Cornell SC Johnson College of Business

The Cornell SC Johnson College of Business invites applicants for a Lecturer (3-year renewable term) or Senior Lecturer (5-year renewable term) position in our Applied Economics and Policy (AEP) area, with a school affiliation in the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management. This is an open-rank position, and the rank of the position will depend upon the qualifications of the successful candidate. The intended start date of this position is July 1, 2025. The position will be based in Ithaca, NY.

The successful candidate is expected to teach and provide Director-level leadership within the Grand Challenges Program and other programs such as the MPS, CEMS, and undergraduate business programs, with other responsibilities including advising students and participating in School service. The Grand Challenges Program is a required part of the Dyson undergraduate curriculum that provides students a unique opportunity to use their business skills to make a positive impact at a local, regional, national, or international level while addressing one or more U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It seeks to build awareness among students of the broader impacts of business on society and, in the process, to strengthen their professional and personal skills through a multi-year immersive experience. The Program includes a first-year introduction to the SDGs and problem (systems) analysis, second-year written expression courses, and a third-year pre-project course centered on "working together" in successful project work. It culminates in a client-facing experiential learning project, in which teams of seniors work under the close supervision of a member of the business faculty and of MBA or other graduate or professional students to address some of the most important societal challenges of our time.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses in the Grand Challenges curriculum and to provide academic leadership for the Program. The Director role includes strategic planning and communication to foster contributions from all stakeholders, including internal stakeholders such as students, staff, and administrators, and external stakeholders such as the Dyson Alumni Council and corporate or non-profit partners. The Director works closely with the many faculty teaching in the program, developing rigorous curricula, ensuring academic consistency, and promoting the resources faculty need to teach effectively.

Successful candidates will have a demonstrable record of 1) outstanding teaching in engaged-learning or project-based courses and 2) strong administrative and leadership skills in an academic setting.

Additionally, the most attractive candidate is likely to possess the following job qualifications.

• Doctorate in management, economics, strategy, organizational behavior, or a related field;
• Five or more years of experience teaching engaged-learning courses in a highly-rated business program;
• Experience in sustainable business, environmental and social risk management, social entrepreneurship, corporate sustainability, non-profit management, or related areas.

Additional positive factors may include academic research and publishing on management, strategy, sustainability, etc.; work experience with non-profit management and boards; and work experience relevant to staff development, fundraising, or program assessment.

It is expected that our faculty teach across multiple schools within the College of Business. The Cornell SC Johnson College of Business combines three Schools: the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, and the Cornell Nolan School of Hotel Administration. Dyson houses a top-ranked undergraduate business program as well as graduate programs that award Ph.D., M.S. and M.P.S. degrees. Areas of faculty research include management; environmental, energy and resource economics; food and agricultural economics; and international and development economics. Faculty members in the Dyson School frequently collaborate with colleagues in Computer and Information Sciences, Economics, Engineering, Natural Resources, and other units on campus.
