Senior Lecturer / Lecturer in Accounting, Essex Business School
Job description
Essex Business School
Essex Business School champions responsible management and sustainable business, and its mission is to offer a transformative education and research excellence that has a positive impact on business and society. The School's Accounting Group is seeking to make further appointments to strengthen and expand its teaching and research
activities in any area of accounting.
The Accounting Group at Essex Business School has an international reputation in two largely overlapping lines of expertise in accounting research, namely (i) critical, social and qualitative approaches to the study of accounting and (ii) an interdisciplinary perspective of accounting, with a strong emphasis on the study of accounting in emerging and developing economies. In addition, there is an emerging cluster within the Group, which relies on quantitative methods and market-based perspectives in the context of both developed and developing countries. Within this context, the Group's research concentrates on four broad themes, namely (i) sustainability, social responsibility and corporate governance; (ii) (management) accounting change (in privatized, public and third sectors - social enterprises, NGOs); (iii) global development, corruption, accountability and gender; (iv) reporting, accounting regulation and market-based accounting research. The Group also founded the British Accounting and Finance Association's (BAFA) special interest group on Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies, edits the
Journal of Accounting in Emerging Economies
and more recently launched an international conference on
Accounting and Accountability in Emerging Economies (AAEE).
The Group is now looking to strengthen and expand its teaching and research activities, and seeks to make further appointments in any area of Accounting at Lecturer or Senior Lecturer level. The start date for each post is from 1 September 2019, or as soon as possible thereafter, and can be discussed with you at interview.
Duties of the Role
Reporting to the Dean, Essex Business School, the purpose of this post is to enhance the School's research profile and to both contribute to and lead in developing the field of Accounting; to develop and actively engage in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and supervision; and to extend the School's profile regionally, nationally and internationally through collaboration with other institutions.
Applicants at the Lecturer level
will contribute to excellence in education by designing and delivering substantive and effective teaching and learning support; supervise PhD student projects, fieldwork and placements; produce research outputs for publication at acceptable levels of volume and academic excellence; and undertake peer mentoring of colleagues on the request of the Dean.
Applicants at the Senior Lecturer level
will be expected to engage in curriculum development, undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, and research supervision at both an individual and a strategic level; provide research leadership and engage in activities that will enhance the research profile of the Group; and to undertake a senior leadership role within the department when required.
At both levels
you will be expected to engage in individual and/or collaborative research activity (resulting in internationally excellent publications) that is in keeping with REF criteria; and generate significant external research income, appropriate to career stage and subject area norms.
A full list of key responsibilities and main duties (Education, Research and Leadership and Citizenship) can be found within the Lecturer (ASER) and Senior Lecturer (ASER) job packs.
Qualifications and Skills required
Applicants at the Lecturer level
should possess a relevant doctoral level research degree in Accounting or specialism related to the area of the post (or be in the final stages of completion of PhD), or equivalent professional experience or practice. You should also have evidence of a research agenda, engagement in high-quality research activity and a developing research profile; evidence of a clear publication plan for future Research Excellence Framework (REF) submissions; and proven experience in teaching at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels, or demonstrable potential for achieving this.
Applicants at the Senior Lecturer level
should already hold a relevant doctoral level research degree in Accounting or specialism related to the area of the post, or equivalent professional experience or practice. You should have a strong track record of published academic output at international levels of recognition with evidence of a clear publication plan for submission to future Research Excellence Framework (REF) programmes; a record of success in generating external research income; a sustained record of effectiveness in education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels; previous experience of PhD supervision; and possess the ability and willingness to play an active part in the administration of the School.
These are permanent, full-time posts on ASER (teaching and research) contracts and the appointment will be made as either Lecturer (R) or Senior Lecture (R). Please state clearly on your application form which level for which you are applying.
At the University of Essex internationalism is central to who we are and what we do. We are committed to being a cosmopolitan, internationally-oriented university that is welcoming to staff and students from all countries and a university where you can find the world in one place.
Please see the further detail link below for a full job description and person specification which outlines the full duties, skills, qualifications and experience needed for this role plus more information relating to the post. We recommend you read this information carefully before making an application.
