Dhillon School of Business, Calgary Campus
THE UNIVERSITY OF LETHBRIDGE invites applications for a full time three-year term appointment at the Instructor III rank in the Accounting area on our Calgary Campus beginning December 1, 2024.
Individuals with experience teaching audit, managerial, or financial accounting will be of particular interest. Ideally, individuals should have a demonstrated interest in the incorporation of technology or sustainability concepts in their teaching.

Instructor responsibilities may include, but not be limited to: instruction and assessment; course content updating; pedagogical and assessment improvements; course and curriculum development; active involvement in School and Accounting Area governance; and other service activities such as case competition coaching, participation in student related functions, and participation in CPA events.
Courses on the Calgary campus are typically taught during the evenings and on Saturdays, though some day time teaching may be needed. Some online or hybrid teaching may also be required. Applicants should note there are two instructor positions, with this one being a three year position and the other being a continuing position. If you wish to be considered for both this continuing instructor position, and the three year term position, please apply to both positions.

Applicants should possess an undergraduate degree, and a Canadian CPA designation. A graduate degree is preferred, or equivalent experience. The applicant should have significant accounting work experience, and be willing and able to continue with limited ongoing accounting activities in a work or volunteer context to maintain their professional competence, as well as professional development activities to maintain their Canadian CPA designation. Teaching experience at the university or professional program level is desirable. A commitment to teaching excellence and engagement with students is required. We offer competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package as well as professional supplement funds.
