Position Announcement

The Department of Marketing is seeking to hire an Assistant Professor with research and teaching interests aligned with the theme of “Marketing for a Better World.”

The marketing discipline is increasingly shifting toward uncovering new ways marketing can address grand challenges and be used for good. The Lundquist College of Business has joined this focus, and in fact, sustainability is a strategic area of concentration for us and for the university. Our current faculty are actively involved in research areas ranging from green marketing to public policy to charitable donations and science communication. We are a mutually supportive community of scholars with overlapping values and a sense of purpose, and we welcome researchers in any area of marketing with this sense of purpose in their research.

Department or Program Summary

The Department of Marketing (https://business.uoregon.edu/departments/marketing) is one of five academic units that make up the Lundquist College of Business (Lundquist), one of the nine colleges and schools within the University of Oregon (UO). The Lundquist College of Business houses the Warsaw Sport Marketing and the Sustainable Business Centers. Ideally, our hire will augment our established reputation stemming from one or both of these two centers. These centers align with both teaching and research at the University of Oregon in terms of concentrations and course offerings. In fact, we recently approved a required sustainability course for all undergraduate majors and Oregon MBA students.

Our marketing faculty are engaged scholars who are recognized for both research and teaching excellence. Our faculty publish in and serve on the Editorial Boards and Editorial Teams of the top marketing journals, while consistently winning teaching awards and engaging with the community. We look forward to growing our ranks.

As a department, we seek to help foster an inclusive learning environment for the university’s community members and stakeholders to promote and enhance diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

Eugene often appears on lists of the most livable communities in the country. It enjoys the cultural amenities of a larger city – hosting concerts that span the musical spectrum, a world-famous Bach Festival, and many other festivals and celebrations – and the accessible real estate, lack of traffic, and relaxed lifestyle of a small city. Recreational possibilities abound, ranging from hiking or mountain biking picturesque trails to playing nationally ranked golf courses to running the same paths on which Olympic athletes train. (Known as Tracktown USA, Eugene hosts the US Olympic Track & Field trials, as well as numerous other sporting events tied to the Pac-12 athletic conference.) Eugene lies just 60 miles from ski resorts in the mountains to the east and 60 miles from the scenic Oregon coast to the west. In the heart of Oregon wine country, Eugene also enjoys a nationally recognized food scene.
