The Candidate
The Department of Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) is seeking to appoint an outstanding, research-active Lecturer or Associate Professor in Accounting. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a portfolio of professionally accredited accounting and finance programmes and to play a key role in the development of new academic initiatives.
The successful candidate will contribute to high-quality teaching across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, maintain an active research profile, and participate in departmental and school administration, including public engagement activities. Applicants will be invited to show how their research interests complement those within the Department/School. The successful candidate will have a track record of (or demonstrate potential for) impactful internationally recognised research. Evidence of developing funding applications and an emerging track record of success is highly desirable.
AFM is committed to innovative, high-quality teaching that prepares students for the evolving world of work, shaped by emerging business and societal challenges. The successful candidate will share this vision. The Department has a strong commitment to multidisciplinary, challenge-led research that engages with contemporary debates in policy, the professions, business and society. While applications are welcomed from all areas of accounting, we are particularly interested in candidates whose expertise aligns with our existing strengths.
We are strongly committed to the development of our staff and provide a supportive environment to enhance teaching, research, and leadership skills. In return, we offer a highly competitive salary and benefits package.
