Tasks: Associate Professorship / Assistant Professorship tenure track (Open Rank) in Accounting and Auditing

The University of St.Gallen and its School of Management are inviting applications for an Associate or Assistant Professorship in the field of Accounting and Auditing. The triple accredited (EQUIS, AACSB, AMBA) university offers a stimulating and well-equipped research environment with a large network ranging from start-ups, small businesses to large firms to engage in research. The new professorship in the School of Management will be invited to become part of our dynamic Accounting Area. The focus of the position covers the area of Management Account-ing and Control including one or more of the core areas of accounting and management such as digitalization, artificial intelligence and financial leadership. The ideal candidate has an internationally recognized and leading track record in research in leading journals in the field of Accounting, reflected in multiple publications in top journals (e.g. FT 50), a pipeline of promising research projects, and a strong international academic network, ties with industry, and excellent teaching skills on all levels, including executives. The focus of teaching will be on Management Accounting and Financial Leadership at all levels of study. The teaching languages are German and English. It is expected that candidates are able to teach in one language immediately and in the other within two years. According to our claim "From insight to impact" the future colleague should convey scientific knowledge to students and have a significant impact on theory and practice. The candidate will also attract external research funding (e.g., SNF, InnoSuisse, industry collaborations), and contribute actively to the academic community and governance of the university. Associate Professors are tenured and full members of our faculty with a path to full professorship, leading research teams and supervising PhD-students. For an Assistant Professor, we expect applicants to show strong promise on all of these points. The University of St.Gallen is committed to promoting equal opportunities and an inclusive working culture. We explicitly encourage women and members of underrepresented groups to apply. We offer dual-career and welcome services for newly appointed faculty (and their families). We seek to fill the position as of 1 February 2027 or by mutual agreement. For further information, please contact Professor Dr. Björn Ambos, Dean of the School of Management and Chairman of the Appointment Committee (). The application should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research and teaching statement (each max. 1 page), list of publications, teaching evaluations, two articles that best represent your current research, and contact information for two professional references that we may contact if shortlisted for the position. Candidates should submit their application to the President of the University of St.Gallen, Professor Dr. Manuel Ammann, online via at the latest by 12 June 2026. Research talks are expected to take place on 4 September 2026.
