Candidates should have strong skills in doctoral supervision and program management, experience in executive education and industry collaboration, as well as the ability to engage students, alumni, faculty, and staff to create and implement a strategic vision.

ABOUT THE DBA PROGRAM
The successful applicant will join a business school whose faculty and staff are committed to innovative teaching; diverse, equitable, and inclusive excellence; and interdisciplinary research collaboration. Robinson’s faculty publish in premier journals, engage in program innovations, and network with business stakeholders. The DBA program was launched as one of the first of its kind in the United States in 2009 and has since graduated 175 DBAs. The program is part of the research organization at Robinson, with its own staff, and is located at the college’s executive education center in the vibrant business district of Buckhead.
The DBA is organized as a three-year, cohort-based program with eight three-day (Thursday to Saturday) residencies per year. Students are accomplished business professionals with a relevant master's degree and more than seven years of high-level business experience. The goal is to develop students into practitioner-researchers, advance their careers in industry, and position them as bridge builders between academia and industry. Although students continue their professional careers while participating in the program, they are expected to work on research and other program activities 25-30 hours per week for 52 weeks over three years.

The philosophy of the program is engaged scholarship, which is well aligned with Robinson’s vision to reimagining innovation for all. As part of the DBA program, the Academic Director will work with the DBA Director and staff to manage and grow the Center for Engaged Business Research as a network collaboration in which graduates can work with faculty as research associates after graduation. The Academic Director will also play an active role in The Executive DBA Council, an international organization of accredited business schools with DBA programs that cultivates collaboration between DBA students, alumni, faculty, and staff, centered around the annual international Engaged Management Scholarship conference.
