Tenure-Track: Assistant Professor in Accounting/Taxation
The Accounting and Taxation area of Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business is seeking applications for two tenure-track assistant professor positions beginning September 1, 2026. The salary range is between $190,000 to $240,000 with guaranteed summer support and reduced teaching load for the first several years after hiring. Applicants are expected to have received their PhD by Fall 2026.
Applicants should demonstrate strong research training and the potential to publish in top-tier academic journals in accounting and related fields. While we will consider candidates in any accounting related sub-specialty, we are particularly interested in those who (i) have the ability to teach upper-level accounting courses at a level that proactively supports students seeking licensure and credentials for their careers (CPA license preferred) or various tax courses (both undergraduate and graduate), and (ii) have an understanding of how AI and big data are impacting financial reporting and research.
While the Gabelli School is seeking to hire for two positions, there is no assurance that either or both positions will be filled. The actual hiring decisions will depend on candidates\' suitability for the Gabelli School and require final approval from the Office of the Provost.
Application Procedure Applications should include a cover letter explaining why and how you believe that you are a strong candidate for the position, a curriculum vitae, samples of recent research papers, and names and contact information for at least three references. All application materials should be submitted through Interfolio, using the following links: https://apply.interfolio.com/173174.
