Position in Finance (Open Rank)

This announcement aims to fill a tenure track/tenured faculty position in Finance with an emphasis on Business Analytics. Business Analytics is an interdisciplinary field that emphasizes “the extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative analysis, explanatory and predictive models, and fact-based management to drive decisions and actions” (Davenport and Harris 2007). Our priority is to recruit a scholar who will build on our existing strengths in these areas and advance the academic development of rigorous research and teaching programs. The desired start date is July 1, 2018.

A successful candidate must have the demonstrated potential or proven record of accomplishment and interest in empirical research and teaching in Finance. Candidate must have or be near completion of a PhD in Finance, Economics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a closely related field. Candidate must also have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. We are particularly interested in diverse candidates. Joint appointments between the School of Business Administration (SoBA) and the departments of economics, mathematics, statistics, or the college of engineering are possible.

In addition, depending on the candidate’s record, the position may be partially funded through one of the SoBA endowed chairs, including three A. Gary Anderson Family Foundation Endowed Presidential Chairs in Business Administration, the A. Gary Anderson Endowed Chair in Finance and the Ely Callaway Chair in Social Responsibility. We encourage applications from scholars committed to excellence and seeking to help define the research university for the next generation.
