Job description

Are you passionate about shaping the next generation of marketing and sales leaders? The Rockwell School of Business at Robert Morris University (RMU) invites applications for an Assistant Professor of Marketing position. We're looking for a dedicated educator and scholar with expertise in marketing and professional sales to teach in our thriving undergraduate and graduate programs.

RMU is in Moon Township, Pennsylvania (only 20 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh) and is home to more than 3,800 students, including 2,900 undergraduates. Dedicated to lifelong career development, RMU aims to be a preferred strategic partner for professionals, corporations, and other organizations in the Pittsburgh region and beyond.

About the Rockwell School of Business

The Rockwell School of Business equips students with the practical skills and strategic mindset needed to excel in a fast-paced global market. Accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), we offer career-aligned undergraduate programs in Accounting, Finance, Financial Planning, Management, Marketing, and Sport Management, all designed around real-world application and mentorship. Our graduate offerings are highly respected and widely recognized. As a faculty member in the Rockwell School of Business, you will join a collaborative, student-centered community dedicated to teaching excellence, impactful engagement, and preparing graduates to lead.

Why You'll Love Joining Our Team

A Hub for Sales Excellence: Our AACSB-accredited school is home to the Center for Sales Excellence and is a full member of the University Sales Center Alliance (USCA). We drive student success through strong industry partnerships and field nationally competitive sales teams. If your teaching and research focus on professional sales and you're excited about coaching or expanding these initiatives, you'll find a natural home here.

A Culture That Puts Students to Work: At RMU, learning happens by doing. Our students train in live sales simulations, compete on nationally ranked teams, and graduate with real client experience under their belt, all backed by the Center for Sales Excellence. That practical, hands-on approach translates directly into outcomes: our graduates are recruited by top companies, secure strong starting salaries, and routinely receive offers well before commencement. When you teach here, you're not just covering theory; you're placing students into careers.

A Community of Academics Who Make an Impact: We equip students with real-world skills and mentorship. Our graduate programs are highly respected — our online MBA ranks 9th in Pennsylvania (U.S. News & World Report), top three regionally (Pittsburgh Business Times), and 22nd nationally (Fortune).

In addition to teaching both undergraduate and graduate programs, the successful candidate will conduct scholarly research in their discipline and contribute service to the university community. This search prioritizes candidates whose teaching and research center on professional sales, though we welcome applicants with strong complementary expertise across the marketing discipline. Candidates should hold (or be near completion of) a Ph.D. in Marketing from an AACSB-accredited institution; ABD candidates will be considered. Applicants must demonstrate excellence in teaching and productivity in research and must qualify as a Scholarly Academic as defined by the Rockwell School of Business.
