Sport Management Faculty

Job Overview

At Clarke University, students study more than facts and theories; they explore new ways of thinking. Everything we do is student focused. For faculty and staff, this means more than coming to work every day; it means collaborating across the university to put student success first. It also means living and working in Dubuque, IA, a thriving city named one of the “most livable” small cities in the country and one of “Best Green Places” in the country. 

Clarke University invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position in Sport Management, beginning August 2024. As we develop and launch new offerings, we wish to grow our department with a faculty member who can teach in both our Bachelor of Arts programs in Sport Management and our Master of Business Administration program with a certificate in Sport Management. Successful candidates will teach online and in-person courses. Additional responsibilities include advising students, supervising internships and service-learning experiences, preparing and assessing curriculum, recruiting and retaining students, and various committee work.  

A doctorate in Sport Management or a related field is preferred, but a master’s degree in Sport Management with professional experience is acceptable.  The ability to function in a technology-rich environment as well as having administrative and leadership experience is preferred. All candidates should be able to communicate effectively with students, faculty, staff, and the community.  

This faculty position will join the Business, Sport Management, Computer Science, and Accounting department. The department has eleven full-time and several part-time faculty members who offer a supportive environment for academic and professional development. Undergraduate major offerings include Sport Management, Business Administration (with emphases in Management, Finance, and Marketing), Accounting, and Computer Science. Salary and benefits are competitive. 

To apply, please upload a letter of application; three letters of recommendation with contact information; unofficial graduate transcripts; curriculum vitae; and a teaching philosophy at http://clarke.applicantpool.com/jobs. Confidential letters of recommendation can be emailed to HRletters@clarke.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
