Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS) Faculty Position
Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS) invites applications for a faculty position with the Accounting Group at the Assistant or Associate Professor level.
About the Role
Judge Business School is part of the University of Cambridge, giving faculty extensive opportunities to collaborate with researchers across the University. Cambridge also sits at the centre of "Silicon Fen", one of Europe's leading technology and innovation clusters, creating opportunities for research and engagement with entrepreneurs, start-ups, investors and established companies.
The Accounting Group's research interests span financial and managerial accounting and related areas. Current areas include financial reporting and disclosure, auditing, corporate governance, disinformation, executive compensation and incentives, management control and performance measurement, capital markets, financial institutions, and sustainability and ESG reporting. We welcome outstanding candidates from all areas of accounting.
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will hold, or be close to completing, a PhD in Accounting or a related discipline. They will be expected to:
- Produce internationally excellent research published in leading international journals.
- Contribute to teaching and supervision across the School's programmes.
- Take an active part in the intellectual life of the Accounting Group.
We value research that is both rigorous and consequential - work that advances the academic literature while also speaking to the questions facing standard setters, regulators, firms and investors. The School actively supports faculty in bringing their research to bear on policy and practice, and in bringing that engagement back into their teaching.
