Eastern Connecticut State University seeks a tenure-track faculty member
in the field of Business Ethics as part of its initiative to integrate
ethics and interdisciplinary approaches throughout its curriculum.
Applicants with interests in a wide variety of ethical issues will find
opportunities to collaborate at Eastern, whether it be with faculty of the
Center for Sustainable Energy Studies, the Peace and Human Rights
Committee, the Nonprofit Leadership & Philanthropy Initiative, or our
internationally-diverse Business Administration Department.
Eastern is located in Willimantic, Connecticut, fast-becoming an arts and
cultural center of northeastern Connecticut. Known for its Victorian
architecture, Willimantic played an important role in the economic
development of the region in the 20th century. Eastern faculty, staff, and
students are involved in the renaissance of the region in the 21st
century, including such projects as the Willimantic Whitewater
Partnership, whose mission is to recapture the riverfront for
recreational, educational, and environmental purposes. Not far from
Willimantic are major northeastern cities, including Hartford (30 miles),
Providence (45 miles), New Haven (70 miles), Boston (100 miles), and New
York (140 miles). Connecticut’s largest beach (on Long Island Sound) is
also a short drive from Willimantic.
Within the Connecticut State University System, Eastern is the state’s
designated public liberal arts college. In this role, Eastern develops
students who can become productive, engaged community and business
leaders. As a predominantly undergraduate institution, Eastern attracts
and welcomes a diverse community of learners, supported by a teaching
faculty, staff, administrators, and a residential campus, all of which
promote intellectual curiosity, integrity, and social responsibility.
There are approximately 5,000 students at Eastern, nearly a quarter of
whom are Business, Accounting, or Business Information Systems
undergraduate majors or graduate students in the Master of Science in
Organizational Management program.
Students often report that they choose Eastern because of its friendly,
family-like environment, small classes, and rich student-faculty
interactions. Eastern also offers a wide variety of opportunities for
entertainment,engagement, and enlightenment thanks to active visual and
performing arts departments, concert and lecture series, and numerous
educational and cultural activities provided for the campus community.
Eastern’s commitment to a liberal arts education is exemplified in its
Liberal Arts Core Curriculum, a sequenced, interdisciplinary program that
all students share, independent of their majors and career aspirations.
Ethics education is required in each course in this core curriculum. In
addition to infusing ethics throughout the Liberal Arts Core courses, the
Business Administration Department recently began requiring Business
majors to complete a writing-intensive course in Business Ethics. To
allow faculty-student interaction, the course is capped at 20 students.
We are seeking a faculty member who will help teach this course, add to
the department's ability to offer electives in related areas, and
contribute to the University's strategic initiatives.
The position requires a PhD or equivalent in a related field (e.g.,
Business, Law, Ethics, Labor Studies, or Public Administration), evidence
of specialization in the field of business ethics, evidence of research
potential, evidence of ability to teach using writing-intensive methods,
and evidence of ability to contribute to the university and the
profession. Applicants who have the ability to teach other business fields
(e.g. Management, Marketing, Finance, Operations, Accounting, or
Information Systems) should indicate their secondary field. Applicants
with the ability to teach in other disciplines (e.g. Philosophy,
Psychology, History, or Environmental Earth Science) should indicate their
secondary fields. Evidence of collaboration with colleagues in liberal
arts disciplines will also be considered.
We invite applications from candidates who have a strong commitment to
teaching excellence, creative activity and scholarship, student
advisement, university and community service. ECSU is especially
interested in faculty with demonstrated innovation and excellence in
teaching in a liberal arts curriculum, and sensitivity to diverse
populations and perspectives.
Screening will begin immediately and continue until the position is
filled. Applications should include a current curriculum vitae, a
transcript of all graduate work, a statement of teaching philosophy and
research interest, documentation of teaching ability, and three current
letters of recommendation. Send these to the search chair at the
following address:
