Ideal candidates should have knowledge and/or experience in dealing with the broad areas of financial “big data”, be able to teach areas such as managerial finance, investments, fixed income, derivatives, and global financial markets, and instill data principles to these or related areas of finance in class.

The candidate will also assist with extra-curricular activities, and with outreach activities to alumni and industry.
