Our faculty include award-winning teachers, thought leaders and community leaders. They have educated and advised a wide variety of learners, from students to budding entrepreneurs to management and executives at fortune 500 companies. Their research has been published in top-tier journals and have contributed knowledge to their discipline, to practice and to pedagogy. Finally, their leadership has made an impact on campus, in practice, and in the greater academy. More information about the Accounting & Law Division can be found here.

• Teach Accounting (and related topics) to undergraduates, graduate students, and executives.
• Generate new pedagogy and update curriculum that is generationally and technologically relevant for our students by integrating a future-forward perspective and strategic foresight.
• Develop a portfolio of scholarly materials to contribute to academic communities and/or practice.

• Passion for teaching Accounting (and related topics) to undergraduates, graduate students, and executives.
• An evident program of research that is relevant to both academics and practitioners, and a demonstrated ability to publish peer-reviewed academic journal articles (articles for practitioner audience, peer-reviewed books, teaching cases, and other teaching materials are also valued).
• Willingness to embrace Babson's unique approach to higher education.
• Willingness to lead and collaborate as a team player with faculty from multiple disciplines to design and teach integrated business curricula.
