Washington and Lee University's Department of Business Administration, part of the Williams School for Commerce, Economics, and Politics, invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor or associate professor (without tenure) position in data analytics beginning July 1, 2025. Candidates should be prepared to teach our required "Fundamentals of Business Statistics and Data Analysis" course and develop innovative electives in areas such as (but not limited to) sustainability analytics, ethics of data science, business intelligence, visual analytics, cultural and legal implications of digital technology, machine learning, AI, and/or data-driven storytelling. We welcome candidates with expertise in a wide variety of domains.
To achieve our mission as a liberal arts university, we strive to foster an inclusive campus community that recognizes the value of all persons regardless of identity. Our department is committed to preparing our students for engaged citizenship by creating an educational environment that is rich with cultural, social, and intellectual diversity. In keeping with the University Strategic Plan, we welcome applications from candidates belonging to traditionally underrepresented communities in academia.
This position requires a strong commitment to excellence in teaching in an undergraduate liberal arts environment. We are particularly interested in candidates who value interdisciplinary studies and can integrate their course content with the liberal arts. Candidates who can demonstrate expertise or experience with diverse pedagogical techniques are likewise encouraged to apply.
The teaching load is 5 courses per year including a 4-week spring term course every other year. The school calendar consists of two 13-week terms (Fall and Winter) and a 4-week Spring term.
We seek candidates that demonstrate the capacity to publish scholarly research in business and related fields that is consistent with the rank sought and who are enthusiastic about making service contributions to the W&L community. To support faculty research agendas, the university has a generous five-year sabbatical cycle as well as a pre-tenure research leave program.
