Job description

We invite applications for the role of Assistant Professor in Finance. We are looking for an internationally oriented, ambitious yet collegial scholar who will contribute to the existing research streams within the school's Finance Group.

Applicants should have completed or be near the completion of doctoral studies in finance or a related discipline, be able to pursue their own independent research, plan to publish finance papers in the top three and/or top five economics journals, and be able to develop and deliver excellent teaching in finance at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. In particular, we seek to boost our research and teaching agenda with outstanding candidates in FinTech.

Warwick Business School (WBS) is a research-led, triple-accredited university-based business school with a portfolio of world-class teaching programmes. We are at the heart of a world-class University, challenging assumptions and championing business as a force for good. Our vision is to be Europe's leading University-based business school, developing transformational ideas and people that shape how we do business. This vision is supported by our three-fold mission:

1. To develop cutting-edge research that leads debate and deepens our understanding of the practice of business and management.
2. To provide a transformational learning experience, enabling our stakeholders to realise their full potential.
3. To work in partnership with policy and practice, both in terms of our research and teaching activities, to catalyse the impact of our work.

Everything we do is underpinned by our CORE values and driven by a commitment to a Change Maker mindset. We look for this shared commitment across our staff and student community:

1. Change Makers see the bigger picture, thinking beyond themselves and their environment.
2. Change Makers challenge the norm, delivering real impact and change.
3. Change Makers have the drive as well as the vision, relentlessly pursuing every possible solution to achieve their goals.
