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.

About the Organization Located in New York City, an exciting cultural center and a global hub of commerce, Fordham University Gabelli School of Business offers courses on two campus locations: at Lincoln Center in Manhattan and at Rose Hill in the Bronx. Our undergraduate program is primarily based at Rose Hill, and our graduate programs are primarily located at Lincoln Center. Both the undergraduate and graduate programs offer a variety of degrees in accounting, taxation, and accounting information systems. A PhD program in business was launched in Fall 2016. Fordham University Gabelli School of Business is accredited by the AACSB.

It consistently ranks high in national rankings for undergraduate programs (#21 in the nation), and graduate programs, especially for its MBA (#10 for Accounting Specialty Area in the nation), 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 good communication skills, and have a commitment to mentor and serve as a role model for minority students. Having a diverse and inclusive community of students and faculty is a key part of Fordham\'s Strategic Plan.

Consistent with our Jesuit tradition, we believe that cultural and intellectual diversity is central to the excellence of our academic program and strive to create an academic community and campus culture that attracts and facilitates the development of promising and diverse teacher-scholars. Moreover, as our student body at the Gabelli School becomes increasingly diverse, we are especially interested in candidates with substantive experience and commitment to teaching and mentoring students from a range of social, cultural, and economic backgrounds.
