The successful candidate will be expected to teach both introductory and advanced accounting courses, design and teach new specialized accounting courses, and provide programmatic leadership for the department’s Business Management Economics major. Duties will consist of teaching an “eight course equivalent workload” (fulfilled by teaching six courses and performing a level service equivalent to two courses per academic year), including teaching in all three quarters of the academic year; comprehensive duties require ability in administrative leadership, execution of Academic Senate member responsibilities, student advising on accounting and business careers, and committee work, particularly in the areas of the Department’s Business Management Economics Program and curriculum planning for the accounting focus. Candidates must be able to liaison with accounting firms and businesses to provide internship and career opportunities for accounting students and to work with students and faculty from a wide variety of social and cultural backgrounds.
