Approximately, 60-80%25 of time is devoted to teaching 6 (60%25 teaching) or 8 (80%25 teaching) course sections per year and 20%25 service to the department, college, university, and the state. Those candidates seeking 60%25 teaching and 20%25 service will be expected to have 20%25 of time dedicated to research, including the ability to complete and publish scholarly research in refereed scholarly outlets of high quality. Having received and maintained a relevant professional certification (e.g. licensed as a CPA-Certified Public Accountant; CFE-Certified Fraud Examiner) is a positive.

The ideal candidate has a demonstrated record of excellence in teaching and success in the practice of accounting, especially forensic accounting or tax, and/or scholarly publications. Qualified candidates possess knowledge, skill, and interest in teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses, in-person and online, in the topics of accounting, with a priority for those in forensic accounting, tax, or similar accounting topics. Candidates with a PhD or DBA seeking a 20%25 research assignment must demonstrate recent ability or potential to publish scholarly works in refereed scholarly outlets in topics such as accounting, auditing, forensic accounting, tax, or similar topics. Candidates are expected to: Have earned a PhD or DBA degree in accounting, auditing, accounting information systems, management information systems, business or related degree before the start date of the position. Teach graduate and undergraduate classes in topics related to the areas of accounting, specifically forensic accounting or tax at a minimum.

Those seeking a research assignment of 20%25 must demonstrate recent ability to complete and publish scholarly research in refereed scholarly outlets of high quality. A recently awarded PhD or DBA fulfills this criterion. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
