About The Role
Our Accounting and Finance Department is home to about 35 academics and approximately 1,000 students, with the Hawkes Research Centre and programmes encompassing both accounting and finance subject areas at post-graduate and undergraduate level. In the most recent National Student Survey results, the department was ranked 15th (out of 102 institutions) last year for teaching quality.
We are looking to appoint a dynamic researcher as well as a committed teacher in Finance to make a positive contribution to the life of the department. We are particularly interested in applicants with research and/or teaching interests in:
• Financial technologies
• Financial programming
The School of Management building provides outstanding facilities with its own media suite and access to extensive accounting and finance databases e.g. Compustat and CSMAR via WRDS, S&P Global Market Intelligence (SNL Financials), FAME and Zephyr. We have also recently established a Finance Lab utilising Refinitiv Workspace (incorporating Datastream) and Factset where students can engage in trading and finance research projects. The School is also home to the innovation hubs of some of our industry partners, such as Pfizer and several spinout companies.
