The successful candidate will focus on sustainable finance instruction and its applications in the business world.

The role will entail significant curriculum and pedagogical development work.

To be considered for this position, candidates must have a university degree in a business-related field. We are seeking candidates who have expertise in the area of ESG/Corporate Sustainability. The capacity to teach and develop course materials in a multi-subject, integrated program such as the Master of Accounting at the University of Waterloo, as well as an understanding of CPA educational requirements/pathways leading to a CPA designation, are assets. The successful candidate will also have demonstrated strong potential for teaching and academic leadership in a post-secondary setting in Canada. Candidates who can demonstrate thought leadership and are interested in engaging in executive education or pedagogical innovation will be considered positively.

The expected start date for the position is March 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter. Starting compensation in the range of $120,000.00 to $150,000.00 is anticipated, based on qualifications and experience. Negotiations beyond this range may be considered for exceptionally qualified candidates.
