Babson College is the home of the 69 country Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), the Successful Transgenerational Entrepreneurship Program (STEP) researching family enterprise, and the Diana Project that studies women’s entrepreneurship. For 33 years, Babson College has hosts the Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Conference (BCERC) and the Price/Babson SEE program for Entrepreneurship Educators.

Duties include research, teaching at the undergraduate, graduate, and executive levels, and professional service within the College and community.

College Summary
Babson College, located fourteen miles west of Boston, is an independent school of management that takes a unique approach to preparing undergraduates, graduate students, and working professionals for the challenges of the modern business world. Babson’s dynamic curriculum focuses on developing skills that transcend business so that students develop multidimensional abilities that prepare them to make important contributions to business and society. Our students understand that economic and social value creation are not mutually exclusive, but instead are integral to each other. The fundamental business skills and entrepreneurial mindset they cultivate at Babson equip them to make a difference on campus and around the world.

Babson has over 2,000 full-time undergraduate students and more than 1,200 full and part-time graduate students. Our highly diverse student body hails from 45 U.S. states and 78 countries. Non-U.S. students comprise more than 27% of undergraduates and more than 50% of our full time graduate students. Babson offers a Bachelor of Science degree, MS and MBA programs, and executive education programs worldwide.

We seek faculty who are aligned with our values of teaching excellence, collaboration, diversity and inclusiveness, and those who embrace our mission to educate leaders who create great economic and social value everywhere. We seek candidates who are eager to engage as educators among a diverse student community.

College-wide Faculty Requirements
We are looking for an accomplished teacher/scholar with:
• passion about teaching and a proven track record of teaching excellence and innovative curriculum development;
• depth in scholarly or practical expertise that will add to the intellectual community of the College;
• willingness to lead and collaborate with faculty from multiple disciplines to design and teach courses in an integrated, cross-disciplinary context;
• curiosity about and facility with technology and the possibility of teaching in a blended/online environment;
• skills to navigate and embrace complexity, ambiguity, and change;
• experience in teaching, service, and scholarship in ways that will enhance the college’s commitment to diversity and inclusion; and
• engagement as a helpful colleague who is committed to the success of Babson College.



Candidates must possess a Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship (or related discipline), show evidence of success in teaching entrepreneurship, and have an active research and publication track record primarily in entrepreneurship. We seek applicants with a particular interest in institutional influences, economic development or economic policy focusing on entrepreneurship internationally. Experience in working with large data sets, econometrics and multi-level modeling will be an asset.

Candidates who can integrate the connection between entrepreneurship and other management disciplines, and who also provide a global perspective in their teaching and research are particularly welcome. Candidates with an educational background in other fields (i.e. economics, sociology, political science, international studies, and liberal arts) or business disciplines (i.e. marketing, management, operations, information technology, and finance) who can apply these interests to entrepreneurship are welcome.

Priority will be given to those candidates who also have experience working in entrepreneurial endeavors (starting, owning or running a venture, corporate venturing, social venturing, family business) or working with entrepreneurs (private equity, banking, policy, economic development) . Candidates should be passionate and committed to entrepreneurship research and teaching, be willing to collaborate with faculty from other disciplines, exhibit intellectual curiosity, and have a strong interest in curriculum innovation. Experience teaching in a graduate program, executive education, international program, integrated or distance learning program is highly beneficial.
