DESCRIPTION:

The Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto invites applications for a full-time tenure stream appointment in the Finance Area. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025.
Candidates must have earned a PhD degree in finance or a cognate discipline with a focus on finance (e.g. economics) by the time of appointment, or shortly thereafter, with a demonstrated record of excellence in research and teaching. We seek candidates whose research and teaching interests complement and enhance our existing strengths.
Candidates must provide evidence of research excellence in finance, which is shown primarily by the job-market paper and additional research papers or publications submitted with the application, a research statement, and strong letters of reference from referees of high standing. The successful candidate is expected to pursue innovative and independent research at the highest level, establish an outstanding, independent research program, and publish articles in internationally recognized top-tier and field relevant academic journals in the field of finance and/or cognate disciplines. We seek individuals who have published in, have papers forthcoming in, or have works in progress meeting the standards of Journal of Finance, Review of Financial Studies, Journal of Financial Economics, and journals of similar calibre and standing. Further evidence of research excellence includes presentations at significant conferences, awards and accolades, and research presentations at other highly ranked universities.
Applicants must demonstrate excellence in teaching, including a strong demonstrated ability to integrate both theory and practice; evidence of effective communication and presentation skills; a willingness to undertake graduate supervision; and a demonstrated mastery of their subject area. Evidence of excellence in teaching will be demonstrated by teaching accomplishments, strong letters of reference, the teaching dossier, and for short-listed candidates, a strong performance during the on-campus seminar presentation. The teaching dossier includes a teaching statement, sample course materials, teaching evaluations, or other evidence of superior performance in teaching-related activities, which can include superior performance as a teaching assistant or course instructor, experience leading successful workshops or seminars, student mentorship, or excellent conference presentations or posters.
This search aligns with the University’s commitment to strategically and proactively promote diversity among our community members (Statement on Equity, Diversity & Excellence). Recognizing that Black, Indigenous, and other Racialized communities have experienced inequities that have developed historically and are ongoing, we strongly welcome and encourage candidates from those communities to apply. Applicants are invited to include in their cover letter any experiences, or planned future contributions, to equity, diversity and inclusion, in the areas of research, teaching, and/or service.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
