Additional Information:
The Marketing department is known for its collegiality. Across every faculty role, our 25 full-time colleagues are driven researchers and dedicated teachers, and several have earned teaching awards. Together they teach at every level of marketing education, from the BSBA through the MBA and Master of Science in Marketing to the PhD.
The non-tenure-track faculty are a close and accomplished group with a reputation for excellent teaching. Many come to the college from industry and remain closely connected to it. They partner with groups such as the Retail Advisory Board and the Sales Advisory Board to bring companies into the classroom through experiential and service-learning projects.
Walton College faculty collaborate with Walmart, Sam's Club, J.B. Hunt, and Tyson Foods, along with the many consumer-products and agency teams based here, including Procter & Gamble, General Mills, PepsiCo, and Saatchi & Saatchi X. The department also supports the college's strategic retail and professional sales programs. Walton students learn alongside the people who run these businesses, and Walton faculty help make those connections meaningful.
The teaching faculty contribute intellectually in different ways. Some publish peer-reviewed research. Others write for practitioners and popular audiences, consult, or lead industry collaborations that raise the university's profile. It is the goal of the college and the department that each colleague grows in the direction of their own strengths.

Tips for Your Associate Professor of Marketing Job Search
Tailor your teaching portfolio precisely
Hiring committees review syllabi, student evaluations, and evidence of pedagogical innovation before anything else. Include courses you've developed from scratch and note enrollments, not just course names. Generic teaching statements get screened out fast.
Lead with peer-reviewed publications first
Your research record anchors your candidacy at research-active institutions. List journal tier alongside each publication so committees can assess fit quickly. If your pipeline is strong, include 'under review' entries with the outlet named.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists associate professor of marketing openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Match your specialization to departmental gaps
Read the faculty page of every department you apply to. If their marketing group skews toward qualitative consumer research and you do experimental methods, name that complement explicitly in your cover letter. Committees hire to fill gaps, not duplicate strengths.
Prepare a job talk for two audiences
Faculty job talks are attended by both specialists in your area and colleagues from adjacent fields. Practice a version where your research question and contribution are clear to a generalist in the first three minutes, then layer in technical depth.
Negotiate startup funds before accepting
Salary is rarely the most consequential offer term for a marketing faculty role. Research startup funds, course releases in your first year, and conference travel support directly affect your ability to publish and earn tenure. Ask for these in writing.

The most active employers for associate professor of marketings right now are North Carolina State University, STETSON UNIVERSITY, and Cornell University, and the most openings are in Florida, Texas, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Openings are distributed across research universities, regional universities, and business schools with AACSB accreditation.
How many associate professor of marketing jobs are remote?

How do you become a associate professor of marketing?

After that, you apply to tenure-track assistant professor positions, demonstrate research productivity and teaching effectiveness over several years, and are promoted to associate professor upon tenure review.
How do you get hired as a associate professor of marketing with little experience?
Candidates early in their careers should enter the market with at least one accepted or published journal article, a strong job talk that previews a clear research agenda, and evidence of solo teaching responsibility. Applying to a range of institution types, including teaching-focused universities where research expectations are lighter, expands your realistic pool significantly.
What does the associate professor of marketing interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a screening call or video interview with the search committee, followed by an invitation to give a job talk on campus. The campus visit includes one-on-one meetings with faculty and administrators, a teaching demonstration, and sometimes a meeting with the dean. Offers follow reference checks and internal deliberation, which can take several weeks.
