Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mount Royal University Full time

Job Description:

About MRU:


Founded in 1910 and located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Mount Royal University (MRU) grew into a vibrant college in the 1930s and became a mid-sized university in 2009.

MRU has carved out a distinct niche by offering smaller class sizes, a robust liberal education, and unique undergraduate programs.

Currently, more than 15,000 credit students choose from 13 bachelor degrees and 38 majors. MRU provides exceptional teaching, personalized learning and a strong foundation of experiential learning. We are striving to become one of Canada's top destinations for undergraduate studies.


MRU is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina, and the Iyarhe Nakoda.

We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is "Mohkinstsis," which we now call the City of Calgary. The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation. Calgary is located in less than one-hour drive from the majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains. The city brings a mix of dynamic big city energy, cheerful western hospitality, and wondrous natural beauty.

About the Role:

This position is open to existing employees of Mount Royal University.


The department, which includes 13 full-time faculty, 20 contract faculty, and an administrative assistant, is committed to maintaining integrity, diversity, and equality in order to foster an inclusive, safe, and respectful environment.

The Department of Entrepreneurship, Marketing and Social Innovation houses the Bissett School of Business' marketing major and the entrepreneurship and social innovation concentrations.

These three separate departments meld to provide innovative programming for students eager to change the world — pursuing their dream jobs or launching their own unique ventures.


As well as the Bachelor of Business Administration - Marketing degree, the department offers both a minor and a certificate in marketing.

The degree program develops marketing professionals who can effectively blend insight, strategy, and creativity to bring extraordinary products, services, and campaigns to the marketplace.

While considering the theoretical and functional strategy-focused curriculum common in most undergraduate marketing degrees, the "ideal marketer" was reimagined with the support of industry partners.

The resulting updated curriculum is designed to support organizations that require future leaders with a foundation in creative and strategic knowledge, skills, and abilities.

Students are exposed to marketing in multiple experiential learning settings and work with real-life clients including non-profit organizations, marketing agencies, start-ups and large corporations, and in-house marketing teams across a variety of industries.


The concentration in Innovation and Entrepreneurship is designed to graduate curious and entrepreneurial minds that drive innovative business development in dynamic, growth-oriented companies.

The entrepreneurship concentration prepares graduates to either join an organization in a customer-facing role with unlimited potential, or start their own business.

Also, an Innovation and Entrepreneurship minor is offered to students from across campus.

Our experiential programs go beyond teaching mind-set and business models, to executing product and business development strategies for the commercialization of innovative ideas.


MRU is an Ashoka Changemaker campus, and many of our courses work with partners to take concepts from the classroom to the community.

The Department of Entrepreneurship, Marketing and Social Innovation is also home to the Social Innovation concentration, which engages students in systems thinking and business practices that foster social and economic change and success.


Responsibilities:

The chair will provide leadership and foster collaboration among department colleagues, guiding the department's future.

The chair will maintain and communicate a sense of direction; act as a responsible advocate for the department; encourage respect for a range of career paths and various forms and fields of teaching and scholarship; provide mentorship to tenure-track and newly hired faculty members; foster the values of fairness, excellence, and collaboration; and maintain a sense of pride, achievement, and community among all members of the department.

Administratively, the chair is expected to work within the practices and policies of the University, including various collective agreements; be responsible for following and shaping departmental policy to ensure effective, efficient and collegial operation of the department; provide support and direction to individual members of the department; work effectively as a representative on the Faculty's Dean's Advisory Group; and ensure that department interests a
