QUALIFICATIONS:

The UCI Paul Merage School of Business has a long history of scholarship in Consumer Culture Theory within Marketing. To continue such contributions through publications, doctoral training, and teaching, we seek senior scholars who have a demonstrated commitment to excellence in research (academic, professional, and/or pedagogic) in the Consumer Culture Theory subdiscipline and teaching within Marketing, as well as a track record of service to their University and the profession. We invite applications from those candidates who are recognized as thought leaders in Consumer Culture Theory, and who have training and expertise in qualitative methods as evident in their publication record. A PhD in Marketing or other relevant discipline (e.g., Anthropology, Sociology) is required.

We especially encourage applications from those who will contribute to our strategy of leadership in the digital age and to inclusive excellence. The UCI Paul Merage School of Business is interested in attracting applications from individuals who embody two core strategic interests. First, the goal of the Merage School is to be a world-class institution in the development of leaders who employ their understanding of business, entrepreneurship and technology to enhance the economic and social well-being of their communities. This goal is summarized in our tagline “Leadership for a Digitally Driven World”. Second, the Merage School is guided by UCI’s focus on inclusive excellence which emphasizes the removal of economic and social barriers to receiving a world-class education. Thus, our aim at the Merage School is to transform the business landscape by enhancing the representation of all communities in business and entrepreneurial activities. We are looking for candidates who share an interest in these two domains and are driven to conduct research, teaching and external engagement to ensure their execution.

We are seeking individuals to lead academic research efforts as well as direct community outreach in these areas and be actively involved in the School’s efforts to support student-centered programming. Teaching responsibilities include core and elective courses. The School is committed to research and scholarship with teaching responsibilities in Ph.D., Masters and Undergraduate Programs. Salary will be commensurate with prior performance and experience.

New hires will join a dynamic business school located in the heart of Orange County’s thriving business community. The Merage School faculty has been globally recognized for their research contributions and teaching innovations. The Financial Times ranks the Merage School #1 in number of female faculty. Our programs also strive to fully represent our professional community, continually searching for applicants with different backgrounds to enrich the educational experience.

Merage School faculty are actively involved in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts, supporting the new Black Management Association and the School’s Latinx Initiative. The School also houses seven faculty-led Centers of Excellence which serve as a bridge between the Merage School and the local business community: the Beall Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, the Center for Digital Transformation, the Center for Global Leadership, the Center for Health Care Management and Policy, the Center for Investment and Wealth Management, the Center for Real Estate, and the UCI Long US-China Institute.
