Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) seeks an innovative and visionary leader to serve as its next Director of the Gerald W. Schlief School of Accountancy.

Located in the heart of East Texas in historic Nacogdoches, Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) is a public, largely residential four-year teaching and research university that is part of the University of Texas System. Founded in 1923 as a teachers' college, the university was named after one of Texas' founding fathers, Stephen F. Austin. Its campus resides on part of the homestead of Thomas Jefferson Rusk.

SFA is home to nearly 12,000 students, or Lumberjacks, as they call themselves. 519 full-time faculty teach courses in over 120 majors and areas of study with a 17:1 student-to-faculty ratio. SFA enrolls students in 46 master's and 4 doctoral degrees and offers students the convenience of online classes, certificate programs, minors, and 32 fully online degree programs. The campus spans 421 acres, including 68 acres of recreational trails and has 19 Division I men's and women's sports teams, and its own Symphony Orchestra. In 2023, SFA celebrated its centennial.

The Nelson Rusche College of Business has provided business students with a personalized classroom experience since their business administration degree program began in 1940. The College offers a variety of degrees and programs, including 13 majors, and is home to 1492 undergraduate and 151 graduate students. 53 full-time faculty and 15 staff create a collaborative community committed to student success. The College is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

SFA seeks an approachable and strategic director who is committed to furthering the school's strengths and culture through authentic and empathetic leadership. This new leader will bring a genuine commitment to a high-quality student experience and understand the needs of students across a range of backgrounds. The director will develop an innovative vision for the future of the Gerald W. Schlief School of Accountancy, distinguish the school in a competitive landscape, champion a student-centered culture, manage the budget and enhance resources, and recruit, develop and retain distinguished faculty and staff.

Reporting to Dean, Dr. Timothy Bisping, the director is responsible for serving as the chief executive of the Gerald W. Schlief School of Accountancy. This leader will exemplify the faculty qualities most valued by the academic community: teaching excellence; scholarly and creative activities; and a commitment to university and community service. The director is responsible for setting the tone of the School of Accountancy through daily interactions with colleagues and school staff, along with making and implementing decisions with collegiality and communication.
