The department seeks candidates with the ability and commitment to teach Financial Accounting to undergraduates in a liberal arts environment. In addition, the department seeks candidates who will contribute courses in finance or accounting that complement our offerings. A strong commitment to teaching undergraduates in a liberal-arts setting for a diverse body of students and evidence of effective and inclusive teaching is essential. The teaching assignment is six courses per year, in addition to a half-credit course taught every third year during January or May term. Funding is available for professional development and research with undergraduate students.

DePauw's Gold and Bold 2027 Strategic Plan (https://www.depauw.edu/about/president/planning/) includes launching a new School of Business and Leadership and a new school that focuses on Creative practice. To help us launch these schools, we seek a cohort of faculty with experience at a range of institutions, including international institutions, HBCUs and HSIs. We further seek candidates who bring diverse perspectives and who can integrate traditional liberal arts approaches (e.g., critical thinking; ethical reasoning; connecting disciplines to domestic issues of diversity, equity and inclusion as well as to global perspectives; interdisciplinarity; written and oral communication) into their courses and research programs. Contributions may be made through inclusive pedagogies, inclusive syllabi, choice of research agendas within the area of expertise and/or through contributions to interdisciplinary programs that diversify DePauw’s curriculum (e.g., Africana Studies, Asian Studies, Hispanic Studies, Global Health, Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies). A complete list of academic programs is available here: https://www.depauw.edu/academics/.
