As new assistant professor, you are highly motivated to contribute through excellent research, teaching and engagement. You will be expected to teach in English, with a moderate teaching load.

Your main tasks
Your role will contribute to the future of accounting and business through teaching our talented international students, through innovative research, and when possible through engagement with external businesses and organisations. Your main tasks include:

• Contributing to the further development of RSM, and to the department of Accounting and Control in particular.
• Engaging with RSM's mission to be a force for positive change in the world.

RSM and the Erasmus School of Economics at Erasmus University both have an accounting department. Faculty members of both departments form the Erasmus Accounting Research Group, which has a strong research tradition and an international orientation, as evidenced by publications in top journals, research collaboration with academics at leading US schools, an international seminar series and a US-style PhD programme. Erasmus University has access to excellent research facilities, including most major databases (WRDS, CRSP, Compustat, Datastream, Bloomberg, I/B/E/S, TAQ, etc.), a state-of-the-art behavioural laboratory and an experimental economics laboratory.

Applicants are expected to have a PhD degree in Accounting or related relevant field, or to be close to obtaining it. Fluency in English is a requirement, as is demonstrable research ability (through publications or working papers).

• You value research with practical relevance that is impactful to academics and practitioners alike.
