Description of the Department or Unit

In the Department of Management, we are a vibrant community of teachers, scholars, and professional practitioners who are passionate about developing the next generation of business leaders. Our faculty have studied at the world’s best universities, led global enterprises, and are successful entrepreneurs. The department offers two undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) degree programs: the major in management (MGT) and the major in hospitality and tourism management (HOS). The department also offers, for both business and non-business majors, minors in innovation & entrepreneurship, human resource management, hospitality & tourism management, and sustainable business. At the graduate level, the Industrial-Organizational Psychology and Human Resource Management Program (IOHRM) is an interdisciplinary and award-winning Master of Arts degree program offered jointly by the Department of Management and Department of Psychology. Also, management faculty provide instruction in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program offered by the Walker College of Business. The Walker College is an AACSB-accredited business school and was featured in The Princeton Review’s 2019 Best Business Schools edition. The Department of Management is the largest department within the Walker College of Business, which itself has the largest business school enrollment in the 17-campus UNC system (approximately 3,000 students). The Management Department at Appalachian State University invites applications for a non-tenure-track, eleven-month Lecturer faculty position beginning January 2027. The position will serve Appalachian State’s online programs.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

The Lecturer will teach 2 courses each 8-week session for a total of 10 courses per year. All courses will be online. The department seeks qualified candidates with relevant teaching experience. The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses in Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, and Strategic Management.

ABD Description

ABD with reduction in rank and salary: ABD will be considered for this position. Evidence of successful defense of the dissertation must be received by July 31 for a fall hire or November 30 for a spring hire. If confirmation of defense is not provided by the deadline, the candidate will receive a new one-year fixed-term contract and be hired at the rank of Instructor. The candidate’s salary will also be reduced to a lower rate commensurate with other full-time instructors in the same department. However, if degree verification is provided before the end of the one-year fixed-term contract, the candidate will be returned to the rank of assistant professor with commensurate compensation beginning July 1 of the following academic year. No ABD consideration: Only candidates with an earned doctorate or terminal degree from an accredited institution will be considered for the position.
