Professor in Accounting

Business education and research has a long history at Trinity College, Dublin dating back nearly a century. Innovation is ongoing and since 2016, Trinity Business School has grown by over 150% and moved into a new eco-friendly state of the art building on campus, at the heart of Dublin neighbouring major international business clusters, particularly in finance and digital business. The School is Triple Accredited by AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS placing it amongst the top 1% of business schools in the World who have this accolade. It also holds an Athena Swan Bronze Award in recognition of its achievement in the area of diversity.

The School recently launched its new strategy ‘Transforming Business for Good: Horizon 2030’ and is seeking to recruit academics to deliver the associated mission and key strategic objectives. As the School continues to develop, it is seeking to hire a Professor in Accounting to lead and guide in the area of accounting across all areas relevant to this broad discipline but who has expertise in the areas of ESG and eco-sustainability accounting.

The Professor In will also have a sufficient broad knowledge of business studies generally to be able contribute to some other – mostly introductory or intermediate – business courses beyond the area of accounting. Commensurate with a leading international professor in, the successful candidate will have a significant portfolio of research publication both in terms of volume and quality i.e. highly ranked in the journals listed in the Chartered Association of Business Schools (ABS) journals rankings. Applicants with publications in the FTs’ list of preferred management research journals are particularly welcome. While we are seeking to hire a rigorous researcher, we also require that this research expertise is of relevance and can provide value-added to senior executives and entrepreneurs as well as those engaged in public policy. Therefore, evidence of engagement and impact with the business and public policy community (beyond academia) to include an understanding of the key challenges facing the relevant groups as well as an ability to communicate effectively with them are valuable attributes that we need to fulfil our mission.
