The Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia invites applications at all ranks for a tenured/tenure-track faculty position in the Accounting area, starting in Fall 2027.
Competitive candidates will stand out with respect to both research productivity and teaching potential. We are open to appointments at the Associate (tenured and non) and Assistant levels in all areas of accounting. The ideal experienced candidate will have recently obtained a tenure-track position and will have begun building a notable record of scholarship and teaching. The promise of such is required for Assistant Professor candidates.
All applicants must be able to excel teaching in a "student-centered", discussion-based environment that requires creating inclusive classrooms with diverse audiences and must also be able to develop curriculum materials (e.g., cases) for both internal and external use. Applicants should be willing and able to uphold Darden community values, to contribute as leaders to Darden as well as academic and professional communities, to engage with managers to advance practice through thought leadership, and to contribute to the academic life of the Darden School.
Our faculty teach in our full-time, residential MBA in Charlottesville, Virginia, and/or professional MBA programs at our Rosslyn campus in Northern Virginia.
Darden is an organization with a strong culture that reflects a commitment to our mission and values. Candidates who are invited for personal interviews may be asked to discuss how they could contribute to a scholarly community that aspires to generate transformational learning experiences through teaching, research and curriculum development that inspire and engage a diverse audience. (Read the University of Virginia’s Commitment to Diversity Statement and Darden’s actions).
