*Tenure-Track: Assistant Professor, Accounting & Taxation, Gabelli School of Business

Description

The Accounting and Taxation area of Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business is seeking applications for one entry-level tenure-track assistant professor position beginning September 1, 2027. Research support is provided for junior faculty through summer research grants and reduced teaching loads. Applicants are expected to have received their PhD by Fall 2027.

The Gabelli School of Business is a strong and well-regarded business school. It consistently ranks highly in national rankings for undergraduate programs (#21 in the nation) and graduate programs, especially for its MBA (#10 in the nation for the Accounting Specialty Area) and EMBA (#10 in the nation). As the Gabelli School emphasizes both research and teaching, all candidates need to be able to work with students from a range of social, cultural, and economic backgrounds, have strong communication skills, and be committed to mentoring and serving as a role model for underrepresented students. Having a diverse and inclusive community of students and faculty is a key part of Fordham's Strategic Plan.
