Professor of Clinical Management and Organization (Open Rank)

The Department of Management and Organization (MOR) at the USC Marshall School of Business is seeking to hire non-tenure-track faculty with expertise in product management, with strategy as a potential secondary area, to teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The individual should have strong subject-matter expertise as reflected in education, professional experience, and/or research publications and case writing. Demonstrated capability to teach at the university level is preferred, the ability to also teach product management and strategy is highly desirable. Candidates may hold a doctorate in strategy, management, organizational behavior, or a related field, and/or may bring substantial senior-level industry experience or consulting in product management (e.g., leading product strategy, development, and launch). Teaching capability in areas such as innovation, entrepreneurship, technology management, consulting, problem-solving, and/or leadership is particularly useful but not required. The teaching load is typically six (6) courses per year. This is an Open Rank listing, and hiring rank depends on qualifications.
