Founding Faculty Cohort – Multiple Full-Time Faculty Positions

The Opportunity

As Golisano Institute launches a Buffalo campus, we seek faculty who identify as practitioner-educators, bringing real-world business experience and passion for student learning to our classrooms. We're hiring multiple full-time faculty to deliver Golisano Institute's integrated business curriculum to Buffalo's inaugural cohort of up to 75 students. This founding faculty team will collaborate to create an innovative and rich, applied learning environment and establish the culture for future cohorts and colleagues. Our faculty want to teach students at a pivotal point in their professional and personal development, advise and mentor a diverse set of students, and continually develop their own skills, especially their teaching practice, to advance student success.

This role requires collaboration across locations with a diverse community of students, colleagues, and external partners. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound judgment and professionalism that contribute to the Institute's culture and model the behaviors and attitudes we seek to instill in students.

Golisano Institute's values of entrepreneurial spirit, integrity, agility, perseverance, curiosity and care are embedded in the behaviors and actions of the institute community and are a cornerstone to the professional preparation model. The Institute works hard to ensure the community is inclusive so the mission of generating economic opportunities, via successful careers, is maximized.
