Your Role

with a specialization in managerial accounting, financial accounting or auditing who will conduct impactful research leading to publication
in premier business journals. He or she will assume an active role in curriculum planning and development at Bachelor, Master and PhD

foundational business courses.
The selected candidate will take part in the education activities of the Faculty, providing
reliable, high-quality teaching capacity at the Bachelor, Master and PhD levels. Regarding the teaching portfolio, a breadth of business

The position will be tasked with redesigning the existing Bachelor programme in Management and new course development within this programme,
in collaboration with the department, adjunct teachers and practitioners.
The selected candidate will be an experienced, senior
business scholar with strong leadership and management competences and research focus on accounting or auditing. The selected candidate will
have the ability to perform and administer high quality scientific research leading to publications in the premier journals of the
discipline. The selected candidate will create increased research expertise, international visibility and joint publication opportunities
for the department.
The selected candidate will also be willing to work collaboratively with both internal and external
stakeholders. It is expected that the candidate is experienced in acquiring external funding from diverse sources and ready to reach out and
actively engage with other research institutions and the Industry to establish research co-operations in Luxembourg and beyond.
