About the Position:

This Faculty member will teach a variety of Marketing courses in the undergraduate and graduate programs across the traditional day, MBA evening, adult completion night and Saturday, and on-line programs as the course rotations require. Full-time Faculty are expected to maintain office hours at a ratio of 1 office hour per 1.5 contact hours.

While committees are not usually terribly active at Webber, the Faculty member will be assigned to one or more committees and will be expected to be an active participant.

About the Requirements:

Minimum Requirements:

PhD in business or DBA from a regionally accredited university (or certified foreign equivalent). Must have 18+ graduate credit hours in the area of Marketing. Having 18+ graduate credit hours in another area is highly desirable (many of our Faculty can teach in several degree programs). ABD’s are considered ONLY if they provide a completion date with definitive evidence of progressing towards this date.

Related industry experience. While this will necessarily differ from person to person, Webber places a strong emphasis on actually having been there and actually having done that.

Great things to have:

Teaching experience, especially at a small, student-centric school

About the University: Established in 1927 as one of the nation’s first business schools for women (now coed for decades) and the first not-for-profit school chartered under Florida’s educational and charitable laws, Webber International University now hosts men and women from some 37 different nations.

Webber offers degrees at the associate’s and bachelor’s levels (Associate’s or Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration with majors in: Accounting, Computer Information Systems Management, Corporate Communications (bachelor’s only), Finance, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Management, Marketing, Pre-Law, Security Management (bachelor’s only), Sport Management, and a Bachelor of Science in General Business Studies), and at the master’s level (MBA, MBA with an emphasis in Accounting, MBA with an emphasis in Security Management, and MBA with an emphasis in Sport Management). We have traditional day classes, a night MBA, and a night and Saturday adult degree completion program.

Webber International University is a teaching school. While there are expectations of scholarship and we have a well published Faculty, we are not a research institution and do not support research with either funding or release time. We provide some clerical support in the form of undergraduate work-studies, but we do not use teaching assistants. Our Faculty actually teach. While we offer a very few on-line courses, we are a bricks-and-mortar institution. Faculty generally teach a 5 (fall), 5 (spring), 1 (summer) course load, with graduate courses counting as two undergraduate courses. Faculty are expected to teach night, Saturday, or off-campus classes as the schedule dictates.

Committee work is required, but generally limited. Faculty interact with students outside the classroom. Faculty engage in professional development. Faculty become involved in the University and the local community.

Webber is a collegial, supportive campus. While Faculty members are appointed for one year terms at the discretion of the Chief Academic Officer (we do not grant tenure), our full-time Faculty have served as follows: > 20 years: 3; > 15 years: 1; > 10 years 2; 5-9 years: 11; 4 years: 1; 3 years: 1; 2 years: 1. While Webber pay is similar to that at other not-for-profit, tuition driven affordable colleges and while our benefit package is fairly good, fortune seekers are likely to be disappointed.

Webber has liberal admission requirements. The vast majority of our traditional undergraduate students play a sport. Essentially all undergraduates receive some sort of institutional financial aid.

We are a SACS and IACBE accredited university.
