Tenure Track Faculty Positions – Finance Area

Cornell SC Johnson College of Business

Cornell University 

The Cornell SC Johnson College of Business invites applications from qualified individuals for three (3) full time tenure-track faculty positions in our Finance Area, with an intended start date of July 1, 2022. Rank is assistant professor or associate professor, and salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications.

Responsibilities of the position include: 1) research in area(s) of expertise, 2) teaching basic and advanced courses at the BS, MBA, EMBA and/or Ph.D. levels, 3) supervision of doctoral candidates, and 4) service to the Area, School, and College. 

Candidates will have a Ph.D. (defended or ABD) in Finance or a related field. Preferred candidates will demonstrate significant accomplishment in research, teaching, and service and will complement and extend the strengths of the faculty of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business.

The Cornell SC Johnson College of Business (established on July 1, 2016) combines three Schools: the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management (Johnson), the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management (Dyson), and the School of Hotel Administration (Hotel School). 

The Finance Area at the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business consists of a large number of faculty with diverse research interests from across our three Schools.

The intent of this process is to recruit two (2) hires for the Johnson School and one (1) hire for the Dyson School. The School that best fits the candidate’s research, teaching and public engagement interests will ultimately serve as the tenure home. Faculty nonetheless have opportunities to teach across the three Schools’ degree programs in order to develop an appealing teaching load.

The Johnson School offers highly-ranked MBA, Accelerated MBA, Executive MBA, and Ph.D. programs. Courses and programs are taught at Cornell’s main Ithaca campus, the Cornell Tech campus in New York City, and other locations across the globe.

The Dyson School is a top-ranked undergraduate business program, as well as home to graduate (MPS, MS and Ph.D.) programs in applied economics.

Both tenure-track positions will be based in Ithaca, NY, with potential teaching responsibilities at the new Cornell Tech campus in New York City, the Executive MBA campus in Palisades, NY, and the Cornell-Tsinghua MBA/FMBA.

For full consideration please ensure that your application is complete by September 15, 2021. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position has been filled. Applications received after November 30, 2021 will be reviewed if the position has not been filled.
