The School has recently moved into a prestigious new dedicated building which offers state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities to all staff, doctoral and MBA students. Together with the strong commitment to achieving triple accreditation (AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS), a vibrant research culture and six internationally recognized research centres, this new environment makes the School highly distinctive.

Applicants should have a relevant doctorate (or be close to obtaining one), and a research profile commensurate with the length of their career.

The School is committed to making a significant investment in the recruitment of staff in Accounting and in supporting their research and teaching efforts. Successful candidates will join the vibrant and growing Accounting and Auditing Research Centre (AARC), about which further information can be found at http://www.brunel.ac.uk/bbs/research/research-centres/aarc.
