• Lead dissertation committees, coordinating feedback and ensuring students meet Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and program standards.
• Monitor, record, and communicate student milestones to ensure timely program completion.
• Deliver high-quality instruction for DBA-level courses.
• Facilitate engaging online discussions, grade doctoral-level assignments, provide quality feedback and expert insight into complex business concepts.

• A terminal degree (DBA or PhD in Business or a related field) from an accredited institution is required.
• Prior experience in dissertation supervision or committee service is highly preferred.
• Proficiency in advanced research methodologies, including quantitative and qualitative Research.
