Faculty Positions in Accounting

Erasmus University Rotterdam invites applications for two faculty positions in accounting. Successful candidates will work as Assistant Professor or Associate Professor at the Erasmus School of Economics.

JOB QUALIFICATIONS: Assistant professor positions involve a six-year tenure-track, with a first evaluation after three years. Candidates for the position of assistant professor should have a Ph.D., or expect to complete a Ph.D. in the near future and should demonstrate the potential for outstanding achievements in research and teaching. Associate professor positions are tenured positions. Candidates for associate professor should have a track record of excellent research and teaching results, including several publications in the top journals in the field.

All applicants are expected to teach in English. The teaching load is moderate. The compensation package is competitive relative to European salaries and includes several secondary benefits (such as a pension plan that is partially funded by the university). Favorable tax agreements may apply to non-Dutch applicants.

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY: Erasmus School of Economics is one of the leading economics schools in Europe. The Accounting Auditing & Control (AAC) group is part of the School's Department of Business Economics. Together with the Accounting & Control group at the Rotterdam School of Management it forms the Erasmus Accounting Research Group. The Erasmus Accounting Research Group has a strong research tradition and an international orientation, as evidenced by publications in top journals, research collaboration with academics at leading U.S. schools, an international seminar series and a U.S. style Ph.D. program. It is currently in a process of growth and rapid development to establish itself as one of the primary accounting research groups in Europe. The group's research interests are concentrated in two main areas: markets-based financial accounting research and behavioral and experimental management accounting research. Erasmus University has access to excellent research facilities, including most major databases (WRDS, CRSP, Compustat, Datastream, Bloomberg, I/B/E/S, TAQ, etc.), a state-of-the-art behavioral lab and an experimental economics lab.

All accounting researchers at Erasmus School of Economics are (associate) members of the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (http://www.erim.eur.nl) and have the opportunity to become (candidate) research fellows at the Tinbergen Institute (http://www.tinbergen.nl).
