The Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration (NHH) in Bergen, Norway invites applications for Assistant Professor positions in the Department of Accounting, Auditing and Law.

09.05.2009 - Red.

The positions are for 4 years, and will allow for opportunities to qualify for permanent positions at a higher level. The positions will involve teaching at the average of two courses per year (90 teaching hours) and some additional graduate supervision within the department.

The school is strongly dedicated to research and therefore primarily seeks applicants from top international schools. Applicants should have a strong research record or potential, as demonstrated by existing papers or a dissertation, and ideally by publications in first-rate journals. Applicants should have research interest in financial accounting, management accounting, auditing or managerial economics.

The department has a high number of students in management and financial accounting. Candidates that are able to make an immediate contribution to teaching in these areas will be given priority.

Applicants should have completed-or be close to completing-a Ph.D. in Accounting or in areas with relevance to accounting research. The PhD must be completed by the appointment date.

In the event of equivalent qualifications, female applicants will be given preference.

Salary will be negotiable according to the State Salary Scale for post doctor positions.

Applicants are requested to present a research project plan with their application. The research plan must specify a four-year research project in the relevant field. The project will be a part of the school's strategy to significantly strengthen its research within the next four years.

Emphasis will be placed on the applicant's research profile and ability to contribute to the research environment. Information concerning professional and teaching education and work experience must be included as well as a list of all publications, testimonials, certificates, and any other documentation which may be useful in the evaluation of the application, such as reference letters.
