We are seeking candidates committed to teaching excellence and innovation and motivated to serve in an administrative leadership role as part of a supportive faculty. Candidates with interest in all areas of accounting will be considered, but we specifically seek candidates who can teach Internal Audit in our Master of Accountancy program, as well as other undergraduate or graduate courses as assigned.

The next visit is scheduled for Spring 2025. The College will provide resources and opportunities to attend AACSB training.

• Assessment: working with OU’s Office of Academic Assessment to coordinate assessment for College programs. This includes ensuring each program director develops an assessment and assurance of learning plan involving student learning outcomes, revises the assessment plan as program needs change, assesses student performance, and submits a report each year to remain in compliance with university assessment and AACSB standards.

• Program Analytics: working with the college administration and other faculty leaders and staff to gather, process, and analyze data to help achieve the College’s strategic goals. This includes working with the Senior Associate Deans to identify appropriate rankings reports in which to participate and compiling data to submit rankings information as well as working with the Dean or Senior Associate Deans on special projects to gather data to help understand issues of critical importance to the College, such as faculty development, student experience, student outcomes, projected enrollment in various programs, resource needs, etc.
