On-siteAccounting$205k–$270k/yrFull-time

Tenure-track faculty position (open rank) in the Department of Accounting and Management Information Systems at Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University. Candidates must demonstrate significant AI expertise as a core element of their scholarship, whether through the creation of new AI methods or novel use of AI techniques that advance knowledge, methods, or practice in their discipline.

About the Role

This position involves research, service, and teaching or clinical practice, with duties assigned according to workload guidelines in the faculty member’s tenure initiation unit (TIU). All courses are taught in person on the University’s main campus in Columbus, Ohio. Immigration/visa sponsorship may be available in limited situations (e.g., F1/OPT to H-1b, H-1b change of employer), subject to evaluation of complexity and risk.

AI Focus Areas

For this search, “AI” includes but is not limited to:

  • Machine learning (ML), deep learning, reinforcement learning
  • Optimization for/with ML, probabilistic modeling
  • Trustworthy/responsible AI (fairness, safety, privacy, robustness, interpretability)
  • Human-centered AI, human-AI interaction
  • Natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, robotics
  • Scientific/physics-informed ML, AI systems and infrastructure
  • Domain-driven AI advancements across disciplines

A qualified candidate will develop, advance, or rigorously evaluate AI methods; lead AI-centered applications producing generalizable methodological advances (e.g., new algorithms, models, evaluation frameworks, datasets/benchmarks, or system designs); or design/adapt AI approaches to solve previously intractable questions in a domain. Routine use of off-the-shelf AI tools without methodological innovation or field-advancing knowledge is insufficient.

  • Sustain a record of impactful peer-reviewed publications in top-tier business journals
  • Create and deliver effective course materials
  • Foster an engaging classroom environment
  • Commit to student success
  • Collaborate effectively with fellow instructors
  • Provide effective service to the Department, College, University, and broader academic/business community

Requirements

Required: Completion of a Ph.D. in Accounting, Information Systems, or a closely related field. Candidates for Assistant Professor should expect to complete their Ph.D. in the near future.

  • Assistant Professor: Must demonstrate potential for outstanding achievement in research and teaching.
  • Associate Professor or Professor: Must have evidence of publications in top-tier outlets, mentoring of Ph.D. students, and a minimum of five years of experience in a tenured or tenure-track position at an AACSB or IACBE-accredited business school.

  • Associate Professor: $250,000–$300,000
