Location: PIttsburgh, PA

Description:

Tenure-track faculty opening at the assistant professor rank in Accounting, commencing September 2025.

Qualifications:

Recruiting applicants that have completed (or nearly completed) a PhD in accounting or a related discipline, including new graduates, those already holding positions at the rank of assistant professor and current postdocs. We are particularly interested in candidates with strong theoretical, quantitative, and/or computational training. Candidates should have an established record of or demonstrated potential for excellence in research and teaching. Teaching assignments may span undergraduate, MBA, MSBA, and Ph.D. Programs.

The Accounting group at Tepper is interdisciplinary and collaborative. Our strengths lie in the interface of accounting, economics, and data-analytics. Methodologically we place a strong emphasis on applied theory/empirical/experimental research grounded in accounting, economic, and/or computational theories. Examples of research by current faculty include economic consequences of climate reporting, cognitive biases in processing financial reports, tax evasion and income inequality, performance pay in knowledge creation, the role of accounting in banking regulations, and AI-assisted anomaly detection of accounting records.

We are at the frontier of accounting research aiming to address changing business needs due to rapid advancements in technology and the ubiquity of data by leveraging novel research approaches. The Accounting group and the Tepper School are ideally positioned to promote this innovation thanks to the established track-record of collaborations with Carnegie Mellon faculty in economics, finance, statistics, machine learning, and computer science.

The Tepper School of Business is committed to increasing the diversity of its community on a range of intellectual and cultural dimensions. We encourage applicants who will contribute to diversity, equity and inclusion through their research, teaching and service.
