Anticipated Faculty Positions in Accounting Academic Year 2014-2015

The John T. Steed School of Accounting Michael F. Price College of Business anticipates two faculty openings for the academic year 2014-15. Primary needs are for faculty in financial accounting, with a secondary need in managerial accounting. The preferred research focus is empirical archival research.

RANK: Assistant, Associate or Full Professor with tenure or tenure-track status.

JOB QUALIFICATIONS:
Educational: Candidates must possess an appropriate doctorate or be near completion. Candidates must have academic training which indicates the potential for significant high quality academic research.

Research: Candidates for assistant professor must demonstrate potential for research by their doctoral dissertation, publications and working papers. Candidates for associate and full professor must have an established record of research in highly rated peer reviewed journals and an active research program.

Teaching: Candidates must be able and willing to teach at both the undergraduate and graduate level including doctoral seminars. Candidates should normally possess some prior teaching experience and provide evidence of quality teaching performance. Candidates at the associate and full professor should demonstrate interest in working with and mentoring doctoral students.

EVALUATION: Teaching potential for candidates invited to campus will be evaluated, in part, by the candidate's presentation of a paper to our faculty and graduate students. Candidates are encouraged to submit evidence of teaching effectiveness through submission of student or peer evaluations of their teaching.

Research potential for candidates for assistant professor will be evaluated in part by their dissertation topic and methodology. Research leading to publication in high-quality journals is required for promotion and tenure. Faculty members are expected to engage in teaching, research, and service activities. New assistant professors have minimal service obligations for a period of three years.

Faculty at the associate and full professor level will be evaluated based on their past academic record, current work in process, evidence of quality teaching and high quality service activities. Particular preference will be given to individuals who have an interest in and experience in teaching and mentoring doctoral students.

We offer both graduate and undergraduate courses in most areas of accounting. Degree programs include the bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees.
