Faculty Position in Emerging Technologies
The School of Accounting and Finance, in the Faculty of Arts, at the University of Waterloo invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Emerging Technologies. In the case of an exceptional candidate, appointment as Associate or Full Professor with tenure may be considered.

Candidates must have, or be nearing completion of, a doctoral degree in accounting, finance, business, information systems, or a related field by the start date of the appointment. The successful candidate is expected to continue conducting high-quality research targeting top-tier journals on topics of interest to accounting, finance, and/or information systems scholars.

The successful candidate will also be responsible for teaching, coordinating, and designing courses within the school related to data analytics, emerging technologies, and accounting information systems. Candidates who can demonstrate thought leadership and are interested in engaging in executive education or pedagogical innovation will be considered positively. While not required, a professional designation in accounting or finance would also be an asset.
