Job Info

Aurora University seeks talented faculty who are passionate about teaching and learning. As a private institution, Aurora University expects faculty to be involved in the lives of students through mentoring, student support, enrollment initiatives, and other activities related to the college experience. To facilitate this highly interactive faculty/student relationship, the typical teaching load is three 4 credit-hour courses per semester. Student advising is supported by professional staff. Undergraduate faculty share in the delivery of the general education program, most often by teaching within the university's interdisciplinary core. Evidence of successful teaching, or a strong potential for successful teaching, is required for all positions. Experience teaching at a smaller, private institution is highly preferred.

The College of Liberal Arts and Business at Aurora University seeks to hire a highly-skilled colleague with expertise in Accounting for a full-time, tenure-track or clinical-track faculty appointment for the 2022-2023 academic year. The anticipated start date is August 2022.

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Qualifications:

• Applicants must hold a graduate degree in accounting or related field from an accredited college or university (CPA and terminal degree or ABD preferred).
• Applicants should have at least five years of professional accounting experience.
• The area of accounting expertise is open, but the candidate should be prepared to teach a broad range of accounting courses (e.g., foundations of accounting, managerial accounting, financial accounting, intermediate accounting, tax, audit, etc.).
• Applicants should show excellence in teaching and a commitment to mentoring. Teaching in the university's general education program may also be required.

Responsibilities:

• Undergraduate teaching with select opportunities to teach in discipline-appropriate graduate programs.
• Active engagement in institutional service, professional activity, student mentorship, program assessment, and recruitment. This position will play a critical role in supporting accounting and business majors.

All benefit-eligible faculty positions offer a competitive salary and excellent benefits including health, dental, vision, life, long term disability, a 403(b) retirement plan through TIAA, and tuition remission. Applications must include a letter of intent including description of education, certifications held, and all relevant experience, current curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references including phone numbers (candidates will be notified prior to references being contacted).
