GENERAL INFORMATION

The Department of Economics and Accounting at the College of the Holy Cross invites applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor specializing in Accounting to begin in August 2026. We are seeking someone eager to teach a wide array of accounting courses, and preference will be given to candidates in the fields of taxation and finance.

This position carries a 3-2 teaching load with a research leave prior to tenure review of either a full year at 80% salary or a semester at full salary, and generous sabbatical and fellowship leaves for tenured faculty. To enable a smooth transition to Holy Cross, new full-time tenure-track Assistant Professors receive start-up funding to support their research and professional development and have a one-course reduction in their first year of teaching (i.e., 2-2). This position offers full benefits and a starting salary in the range of $137,500-$140,200. Faculty at the College cultivate a richly diverse academic community, pursue innovative teaching, and create high-impact scholarship. To learn more about faculty life at the College and in the Worcester area, candidates are encouraged to see the Resources for Prospective Faculty on our Faculty Openings page.
