"Tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor"

The Lyons School of Accounting in the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University invites applications for a full-time, 9-month, tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor to begin in fall 2026.

For an Assistant Professor, the teaching load typically is three courses per year for the first three years and continues for three additional years following a satisfactory third-year review and a recommendation from the School Director. For an Associate Professor, the teaching load typically is four courses per year, with a one course reduction allowed for a scholar with two elite publications in the prior five years.

Salary and benefits are highly competitive. For an Assistant Professor, summer support (2/9 of 9-month salary) normally is guaranteed for the first three years and continues in subsequent years for productive scholars. We offer generous summer support for Associate Professors who are productive scholars. Funding is also available for data and conference travel.

In line with TTU’s strategic priorities to engage and empower a dynamic student body, enable innovative research and creative activities, and transform lives and communities through outreach and engaged scholarship, applicants should have experience working with a breadth of student populations at the undergraduate and/or graduate levels within individual or across the areas of teaching, research/creative activity, and service.

As a faculty member in the Lyons School of Accounting, you will be expected to (1) contribute to the teaching mission of the School, including online teaching; (2) mentor graduate students and participate in doctoral education; (3) develop a record of peer-reviewed research; and (4) provide service to the school, college, university, accounting academy, and accounting profession.
