Position description

The Rady School of Management at UC San Diego is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff and student body. The Rady School invites applications for one or more positions for an Assistant Teaching Professor with potential security of employment (similar to a tenure-track position), subject to the availability of funding. The teaching faculty series at UC San Diego [whose official title is “Lecturer with (Potential) Security of Employment”] carries equivalent rights and responsibilities as the more traditional tenure-track faculty series. Teaching Professors are expected to place a stronger emphasis on teaching and scholarly activity related to education than on traditional disciplinary research activities. This appointment confers membership in the Academic Senate, and, contingent upon promotion, tenure-paralleling security of employment.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach effectively at the undergraduate and graduate levels in Accounting. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, teaching of Accounting courses and other core classes, improvement of curriculum, attending faculty meetings, serving on committees, and development and assessment of new educational initiatives.
