Job Description

POSITION DESCRIPTION: 

The Feliciano School of Business at Montclair State University invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty position in the Department of Accounting and Finance at the Assistant or Associate Professor level, starting August 27, 2027. Candidates holding tenure at their current institution are invited to apply.

The ideal candidates for this position will have an active program of research with a demonstrated ability for high-quality scholarly publications. Preference for this position will be given to candidates who conduct research in the areas of financial accounting, advanced financial accounting technologies, and emerging technologies in accounting. The candidate selected will be expected to teach courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in face-to-face and online delivery modes. Candidates with experience developing and/or teaching in online formats will be given preference. The candidate is expected to pursue scholarly research leading to publications in high-quality, peer-reviewed journals; engage in outreach activities with the local business community; increase the visibility of the accounting programs; serve on department, school, and university-level committees; advise students; and participate in innovative curricular development activities. The ability to develop collaborative relationships across disciplines and with external agencies is preferred.

Faculty members are expected to contribute to the University's mission through excellence in teaching, research/scholarship, and service.

Teaching: The standard annual teaching load for tenure-track faculty is 12 teaching credit hours (TCH) a semester, with additional TCH reassigned time (course release) available for faculty with additional responsibilities such as mentoring doctoral faculty or administering programs. Faculty are expected to center student success and measurable learning outcomes through clear course design, inclusive pedagogies, and the integration of emerging disciplinary and pedagogical developments.

Research results must be shared in significant national and/or international scholarly or artistic venues following rigorous review. The University supports these endeavors through the Faculty Scholarship Program (FSP), which typically provides research-active faculty with up to 6 TCH of reassigned time per academic year to pursue their scholarly agenda.

Service: Faculty members are expected to perform valuable service to the department, college/school, university, and professional communities. This includes participating in shared governance, academic program vitality, and sharing professional expertise within and beyond the University. Service activities are separate and distinct from the specific assignments for which faculty members receive course release.
