Seeking University Faculty Appointment in 2024

Endowed Scholar-on-Sabbatical

By David Edward Marcinko MBBS DPM MBA MEd CMP™ 

Any New Year typically brings to mind the passage of Father Time. And, it’s hard to believe I will be finishing up my current endowed R&D sabbatical after the Summer semester.

It means searching for a new faculty appointment to continue my passion for: [1] classroom teaching and junior faculty mentorship [2], university PR, outreach, promotion and grant-funding; and of course [3] more research, development, books and publications.

This competitive scholarship ethos is AKA the triad of success: “being a guide on the side – not a sage on the stage” AND “no margin – no mission” AND “publish or perish.”

Employment and Subject Matter Expertise

Now, as a consummate team player, I’ve served as adjunct, to visiting, to full distinguished professor – and as department chair, to endowed chairman, online MOOC Dean and professor-of-the-practice.  Areas of specialization include: public and population health policy, management and administration; health economics, finance and insurance; and medical capitalism, innovation and free-enterprise at the graduate or doctoral levels.

And, as a former surgeon and clinician who also trained in Europe, and devotee of Nobel Laureate Ken Arrow PhD, I’m a global inter-disciplinarian within the health care industrial complex that may soon comprise 20% of domestic GDP.

Location – Location – Location

I’m pretty much private or public [mid-size] school agnostic, but prefer the Southeast, Northeast and Midwest in a livable city; with a 9-10 month faculty appointment.

But, I wouldn’t rule out a 12-month business school, or public health sciences type Dean position, as long as it is not totally administrative. A founding department chair, or inaugural deanship, would be near perfect; 24/7/365.

Crowd-Sourcing a Job?

So, I am crowd-sourcing this new job search as an emerging trend. Moreover, crowd-funding health insurance, and crowd-sourcing medical and diagnostic care is an emerging HIT trend. In fact, it’s the R&D equivalent of my current Health Dictionary Series™ WIKI project. It’s an experiment!

Regardless of the job search, check it out and tell me what you think!

Assessment

Finally, please know that I am not looking for a mere job or to climb the ladder of academia. Rather, I am seeking a university home to continue my passionate career by paying it forward as servant-leader for the next generation of business and/or public health care executives.

More Info:

If you think I might be a good fit for your university, or would just like to brainstorm ideas; give me a holler: email: MarcinkoAdvisors@msn.com; or arrange a virtual Skype interview to “chat”. Grab yourself a cup of coffee, because I am verbose.

Serious inquirers might also want to check me out, in far-too-much-detail, here!

Professor VERSUS Entrepreneur

Posted on June 19, 2022 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Teaching / Educating

Bill Hennessey, M.D.

Bill Hennessey, M.D.

As a teacher educating is your job. It’s what you enjoy. There’s a fairly lax time schedule and resources are already built in the equation. Little accountability because the ultimate burden and measure of success is placed on the student to pass a test. If they don’t do well, it’s the student not directly the teacher who pays the price.

Now, I work with first year students who don’t know what a red blood cell looks like (biconcave disc, you thought I forgot, didn’t you) all the way to a chief resident who can probably do some surgeries better than me. It’s my job to take that first year student and turn them into a chief resident.

As an entrepreneur with limited resources, time, and energy, you don’t have the luxury to continuously teach, develop, and convince. You need people who simply get it especially in strategic positions. You don’t have the luxury of time or resources. You also are directly accountable if they don’t understand because you have a burn rate that probably just got worse. So how much “oxygen” do you allocate when trying to build your team?

Different story for Apple, Boeing and others that can create academies and educational tracks to teach and develop internally.

ASSESSMENT: Your thoughts are appreciated.

All about Titles and University Professors in the USA

Posted on August 28, 2019 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Academic Titles are Different in Europe

By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA

***

I’ve taught in medical, graduate and business school academia for a while now, and served as instructor, adjunct, assistant, associate and full professor in the USA and Europe. I even held chair and endowed positions. But, the precise definition of these titles has always eluded me. So, I did a bit of research to arrive at the following conclusions mingled with my personal experiences..

***

A “Professor-of-the-Practice” or P-O-P is a non-tenured person appointed to the academic staff of an American university with  exceptional experiences in their “practice” (profession) and holding a terminal doctoral degree.

I’ve seen this position in medical schools and allied health care institutuions.

NOTE: In American universities, a “professor” is practically any lecturer with a doctor’s degree, whereas in most of the world the title is reserved for senior academics; including most Commonwealth Nations (United Kingdom), German-speaking nations and Northern Europe. It may also be a department head or specifically bestowed chair. A professor is a highly accomplished and recognized academic, and the title is awarded only after decades of scholarly work. In the United States and Canada the title of professor is granted to all scholars with doctorate degrees (typically Ph.D.s) who teach in two and four year colleges and universities, and used in the titles Assistant Professor and Associate Professor, which are not considered full professorship level positions elsewhere.

***

***

A Scholar-in-Residence can serve a university in a full-time, visiting, or part-time capacity. A full-time SIR will be provided on-campus housing and is asked to: hold 2-5 office hours/programs per week in the community. A part-time SIR will host at least 2 programs/activities during the appointment and attend appropriate community meetings.

I’ve seen this position mostly in the graduate school universe.

Finally, an “Entrepreneur-in-Residence” is a position typically held by successful entrepreneurs in venture capital firms, private equity firms, startup accelerators, law firms, or business schools. The EIR typically leads a small, early-stage, emerging company deemed to have high growth potential, or has demonstrated high growth. The university endowment fund provides the Entrepreneur-in-Residence with working capital to nurture expansion, new-product development, or restructuring of the company’s operations, management, and/or ownership.

This is likely the newest business school nomenclature iteration IMHO.

Assessment: So, how did I do with these definitions which still may vary among different colleges, universities and institutions? Your thoughts are appreciated.
