Description

The Department of Accounting and Information Systems at TCNJ invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Information Systems with a specialty in Accounting to join our community starting in August 2026.

Applicants with teaching interests in all areas of accounting and information systems are encouraged to apply.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a commitment to excellence in teaching and the ability to connect information technology with accounting concepts in both classroom and professional settings. The successful candidate will have earned, or be near completion of, a Ph.D. in Information Systems, Accounting Information Systems, or related disciplines from an AACSB-accredited institution.

We are interested in candidates whose research and teaching will connect and integrate with other disciplines and who have the potential to collaboratively contribute to interdisciplinary curricular and scholarly efforts. Candidates should be committed to inclusive excellence in higher education, demonstrated, for example, through culturally responsive course design and pedagogy, equity-minded student engagement and mentorship, and cultivating intercultural competencies needed for meaningful citizenship.
