Position descriptionThe University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a full-time Assistant, Associate or Full Professor, or a full-time Assistant, Associate or Full Teaching Professor. External applicants will hold a joint appointment between Haas School of Business and one or more of the academic departments in the College of Engineering (CoE), with the specific department and appointment split to be determined. The faculty will also be appointed as Faculty Director to support the leadership and teaching needs for the Management, Entrepreneurship, and Technology program (M.E.T.). Candidates should apply for consideration in the Professor series if they currently have or plan to engage in independent research within a specific field, in addition to teaching and service. Candidates should apply for consideration in the Teaching Professor series if their efforts are focused particularly on excellent teaching while engaging in a program of professional and/or scholarly activity, and service. Faculty in both series are members of the academic senate.
The anticipated start date is July 1, 2027.
The Faculty Director will lead strategic planning, corporate outreach, and fundraising for the program, in addition to assuming responsibility for the design and management of the curriculum and co- curricular experience of the M.E.T. students. The Faculty Director will teach M.E.T.-specific core courses each year that will integrate technology and business entrepreneurship.

By equipping students with deep engineering expertise and strategic business capability, as well as the business acumen to scale up enterprises, M.E.T. develops visionary leaders who are well prepared to tackle complex global socio-technical issues to solve the world's most pressing challenges.
The M.E.T. Program is a highly selective, high-impact simultaneous degree program that enables a cohort of exceptionally talented students to earn two undergraduate degrees in four years: a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the Haas School of Business and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the College of Engineering (spanning Aerospace Engineering, Bioengineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences, Industrial Engineering & Operations Research, Materials Science & Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering). By combining world-class instruction and a robust Silicon Valley industry interface with dedicated academic coaching, career advising, and integrated program-specific coursework, M.E.T. equips students with both technical mastery and business leadership capabilities. Through curated internship access, specialized mentoring, and co-curricular activities, the program fosters a supportive community.
