Graduate School USA is accepting applications for a Full-Time Accounting Faculty Member.
The Accounting faculty member is responsible to the Dean of the Management Department. The primary responsibility is teaching the equivalent of 15 credits per semester in both face-to-face and online formats; curriculum and course development, advising students, orienting and mentoring faculty colleagues, and meeting office hours. Regular participation in department and divisional teams and on School-wide committees is required. The incumbent will serve as a subject matter expert in working with other faculty and staff in a team environment, support and contribute to diversity and student success initiatives, and remain current in assigned subject areas and teaching methodologies. The incumbent will also assume the responsibilities associated with the coordination, curriculum development, learning outcomes assessment and promotion of federal financial management courses and programs as well as assigned continuing education courses and programs. The position is a twelve-month faculty position; hence, the School’s expectation is for a flexible 5-day workweek [5 of 7 days] of forty hours. The Dean, in conjunction with the Provost, may approve exceptions to the 5-day faculty workweek.
