Assistant Clinical Professor

The Management Department of the College of Business Administration (CBA) at Loyola Marymount University invites applications for a Clinical Assistant Professor in Business Ethics and Sustainability.

Note: At LMU, the title "clinical professor" is similar to "teaching professor" or "professor of the practice" used at other institutions.

A Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree in philosophy, environmental science, or business is required.

Candidates should demonstrate expertise and teaching experience in moral philosophy and applied ethics (business ethics, environmental ethics, development equity and justice issues). Preference will be given to candidates who also demonstrate expertise and teaching experience in a combination of the following areas: environmental and social sustainability; corporate environmental management; corporate social responsibility (CSR); environmental science and management. The ideal candidate will demonstrate interest and evidence of teaching across domains relevant to business ethics and sustainability. Experience teaching college-level writing is preferred. Industry experience and connections are appreciated but not required.

Expectations for the successful candidate in the areas of teaching, research, and service are as follows:

Teaching:

The successful candidate would teach three sections per semester. The primary teaching responsibility is “Business Ethics and Sustainability,” an upper-division course in the College of Business core curriculum; the first-year core course “Business for Good” as well as elective courses will also be taught occasionally.  Curriculum and materials for core courses are standardized and will be provided, though substantial curricular and pedagogical freedom exists, allowing the instructor to customize the course around their unique expertise. The course is taught by a highly collaborative team of instructors. The candidate should be interested in learning from other instructors’ areas of expertise in developing their own course material and pedagogy.

Research:

The successful candidate would be expected to maintain scholarly academic status with the AACSB, CBA’s accrediting body. Details can be found on the CBA website. The subject and outlet of publications is flexible, and can include mission-related, pedagogical, and/or scholarly research.

Service:

The successful candidate would be expected to be actively involved in the LMU community, including participation in the CBA Institute for Business Ethics and Sustainability, departmental functions, and undergraduate advising.

The Management department is interdisciplinary, with faculty members spanning various areas of management research and teaching. We are a collaborative and inclusive group of scholars who often work together in multiple capacities and are committed to an environment that embraces a diversity of research topics and methodological approaches.
