Ph.D. in finance, accounting, economics, or related field is preferred; ABD candidates will be considered at the rank of Instructor. The department seeks candidates with the ability and commitment to teach Financial Accounting to undergraduates in a liberal arts environment. In addition, the department seeks candidates who will contribute courses in finance or accounting that complement our offerings. A strong commitment to teaching undergraduates in a liberal-arts setting for a diverse body of students and evidence of effective and inclusive teaching is essential. The teaching assignment is six courses per year, in addition to a half-credit course taught every third year during January or May term. Funding is available for professional development and research with undergraduate students.

DePauw's Gold and Bold 2027 Strategic Plan includes launching a new School of Business and Leadership and a new school that focuses on Creative practice. To help us launch these schools, we seek a cohort of faculty with experience at a range of institutions, including international institutions, HBCUs and HSIs. We further seek candidates who bring diverse perspectives and who can integrate traditional liberal arts approaches (e.g., critical thinking; ethical reasoning; connecting disciplines to domestic issues of diversity, equity and inclusion as well as to global perspectives; interdisciplinarity; written and oral communication) into their courses and research programs. Contributions may be made through inclusive pedagogies, inclusive syllabi, choice of research agendas within the area of expertise and/or through contributions to interdisciplinary programs that diversify DePauw's curriculum (e.g., Africana Studies, Asian Studies, Hispanic Studies, Global Health, Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies). A complete list of academic programs is available here.
