Research and Scholarship: Candidates are expected to publish high-quality discipline-based research with the intent to publish in high-quality and impactful academic journals. The recent publications of the department have appeared in many prestigious journals such the Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, Journal of Consumer Psychology, Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Retailing, International Journal of Research in Marketing, among others. 

Teaching: DU uses a quarter system, with three, 10-week long academic terms of Fall (early September-late November), Winter (January-mid March), and Spring (Late March- first week of June) quarters. Assistant Professors are required to teach 4 courses throughout the academic year in their first two years. Options for distributing or stacking courses across or within quarters are available depending on the department teaching schedule. After the first two years, the teaching load will go up to 6 courses a year. Historically, after the first two years, most research active assistant professors received one course release (i.e., a 5 course teaching load) and summer research support until tenure and promotion. Research-active faculty, regardless of the rank, can continue receiving a course release and summer support.

We are open to applicants with broad teaching interests (e.g., marketing analytics, marketing research, consumer behavior, digital marketing strategy and planning, social media marketing, etc.) from all areas of marketing scholarship. Some of these courses will involve projects with industry clients. Note that the teaching needs may also change over time and will be determined by the Department Chair.
