From an email message which I received in recent days:
The Robert M. Zinke Chair in Energy Management
The University of Oklahoma’s Price College of Business announces an opening for an endowed faculty position, the Robert M. Zinke Chair in Energy Management. The Energy Management Program within the Price College administers the high profile and prestigious undergraduate major in Energy Management. The Energy Management Program has a vital curricular concentration in the area of Legal Studies. Accordingly, the Zinke Chair will serve as the faculty advisor to the Energy Management Program and, preferably, teach both traditional and energy-sector specific Legal Studies courses.
At a minimum, candidates for the Zinke Chair will have an earned Juris Doctorate from an American Bar (ABA) accredited law school. The successful candidate will have developed a research record typical of a senior faculty member at an AACSB-accredited business school and Carnegie-R1 research institution. In teaching, candidates will be expected to deliver courses in The Legal Environment of Business and/or Price College’s required Ethics and Law in Business MBA course. Preference will be given to those candidates capable also of delivering one or more required courses within the Energy Management major, including, but not limited to, courses in Commercial Law, Business Organizations/Corporate Governance, and/or Real Property Law. The Zinke Chair will be expected to teach two courses each semester–fall and spring. Additionally, as the Zinke Chair will serve as both the Price College faculty Advisor to the Energy Management Program and the administrative leader of the Legal Studies faculty, the successful candidate must have proven collegial skills, and academic leadership experience is preferred. Compensation will be competitive for a tenured endowed position. The appointment will begin in August, 2017.
