This includes the pursuit of innovative and non-conventional visions, the parameters and requirements of risk-taking, and personal conduct and priorities.

DASS has a strong tradition of granting faculty extraordinary latitude to develop new and innovative centers, programs, and activities. Position Responsibilities: While the assignment of specific responsibilities will depend on the experience, credentials, and interests of the successful candidate, we anticipate drawing from the following areas for the assignment:
<ul>
<li>Undergraduate teaching in areas relating to entrepreneurship and strategy and related subjects.</li>
<li>Graduate teaching in areas related to entrepreneurship, organizational economics, and/or public policy.</li>
<li>Executive education and beginning entrepreneur instruction/coaching.</li>
<li>A strong program of research and scholarship consistent with that of a faculty member in an AAU research university.</li>
<li>Commitment to obtaining external funding of research and educational programs.</li>
<li>Outreach activities linked to economic development, entrepreneurship (collective and otherwise) initiatives.</li>
</ul>
Qualifications Minimum Qualifications: Applicants are expected to have at the time they apply a PhD in economics, applied economics, agricultural economics, management, or related social science discipline.
