We seek to fill these positions at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. The desired start date for the positions is Fall 2027.

Those who are in the final stages of completing a PhD program will be considered for appointments as an Assistant Professor. For consideration for Associate or Full Professor level positions, applicants must have a proven track record in conducting high-quality scholarly research and demonstrated teaching competence at a high level. Experienced applicants who wish to be considered at the Associate or Full level should have the same qualifications as the Assistant Professor, but should also have demonstrated both a sufficient number of publications in high-quality journals and sufficient impact of that work on the field.

Candidates for all ranks must have a PhD in Marketing or a related field by the appointment start date. Although research focus is open, preference will be given to those in Quantitative Modeling and/or Marketing Management and Strategy.

Penn State faculty members are expected to pursue an active research program, perform undergraduate and graduate teaching, supervise graduate students, and engage in service activities. Salary and benefits will be competitive and commensurate with the background and experience of the chosen candidate.
