Open Rank Professor of Business History

The Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia invites applications for an Open Rank General (non-tenure track) nine-month faculty position in Business History, beginning in the summer of 2025.

As such, applicants should generally have a PhD or other terminal degree in History, Business History, Economic History, or a related field.

General faculty applicants are expected to bring something distinctive to the School, such as outstanding teaching, high visibility, and effectiveness in working with practicing managers and executives, or a particularly noteworthy research niche. General faculty will be on either a Teaching Track or a Practice Track. For the Teaching Track, primary responsibilities would be teaching and developing curricular materials. For the Practice Track, primary responsibilities would be teaching in both MBA and Executive Education programs and writing with a view to influencing practice.

The Business History General Faculty will be expected to assume responsibilities for delivering elective courses for residential, executive and part time MBAs.
