The O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs (O’Neill) at Indiana University-Bloomington invites applications for a full-time, renewable, non-tenure track academic year appointment as a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in the general fields of public accounting, budgeting, auditing, and financial management. The successful applicant will be expected to teach courses in one or more of the following areas of public financial administration: accounting, public budgeting, and/or public financial management. Qualifications include a PhD or Master’s degree in accounting, public administration, public affairs, business administration, law, economics, political science, public policy or related field. Applicants with significant prior professional experience in accounting, public budgeting and/or public financial management are of special interest.

 

Lecturer faculty are expected to interact with our diverse student and faculty community, focusing on teaching (including course development and delivery and the incorporation of innovative teaching techniques), as well as on teaching-related service such as student advising and curriculum development. As such, we are especially interested in applicants with a record of successful teaching and mentoring of students from many backgrounds (including first-generation college students, low-income students, racial and ethnic minorities, women, LGBTQ, etc.) and an interest in contributing to O’Neill’s programs, curricular offerings, and service portfolio in ways that enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion. Applicants are encouraged to address these topics in the letter of application.

The standard teaching assignment for Lecturers is six courses per year offered in a mix of undergraduate- and graduate-level courses. Lecturers are eligible for promotions to higher ranks in this track (Lecturer to Senior Lecturer and Senior lecturer to Teaching Professor). Faculty in these tracks are not eligible for tenure but will be considered for promotion and/or long-term contracts no later than the sixth year of appointment. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. The position start date is August 1, 2024.
