The Business School is seeking to recruit a Chair in Accountancy who can make a significant contribution to leadership within the discipline, as well as working towards the development of the School’s ambition to build a globally recognised centre of Accountancy research and teaching.

The Business School is in an exciting and ambitious phase of its development. While proud of the University’s 500-year history, the Business School is a core part of the University’s plans for the future and is committed to increasing its profile. In order to facilitate its further growth and development, the Business School is now a stand-alone unit within the University. As an integral part of its growth strategy, the School has initiated a plan to earn accreditation of the School from the three main international accrediting agencies in the coming years. The Business School comprises several related disciplines: Accountancy, Economics, Finance, Management, and Real Estate.

The successful applicant will have a strong, internationally recognised publication record and will have a track record in peer-rated grant applications and postgraduate research supervision. Research excellence and an ability to coordinate and support research capacity building within the School are also important requirements for this post.

Proven administration and management experience are also desirable in the successful applicant as is a willingness to contribute strongly to the promotion of the international recognition of Accountancy at Aberdeen.

Effective and innovative teaching and teaching leadership are key aspects of the post and we seek candidates who can cover one or more core teaching areas in Accountancy such as Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, Audit, or Tax.

A competitive remuneration package will be available for exceptional candidates considered for appointment at Professorial level and negotiable with placement according to qualifications and experience.

Any appointment will be made subject to satisfactory references.

Should you require a visa to undertake paid employment in the UK you will be required to fulfil the minimum points criteria to be granted a Certificate of Sponsorship and Tier 2 visa. As appropriate, at the time an offer of appointment is made you will be asked to demonstrate that you fulfil the criteria in respect of qualifications and competency in English.

NOTE: Never make payment to any employer, person, company, contractor or agency to get hired for a Job.
