Glasgow Caledonian - the largest and leading modern university in Scotland - is a vibrant, values-led university with campuses in the heart of Glasgow and London. With a strong commitment to high quality education and research which supports the communities we serve, we have strong partnerships with employers to ensure our students get the careers they dream of and deserve.



In 2023 we rocketed into the top 40 universities in the UK in the highly regarded Guardian University Guide, were ranked the UK's 2nd top performing modern university in the inaugural Daily Mail guide, and entered the top highly coveted 50 UK universities in the 2024 Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide for the first time. We are the top performing modern University in Scotland in all three guides. We are the only Scottish university with EcoCampus Platinum accreditation and were ranked second in Scotland for sustainability in the most recent People and Planet league table.



With a wide range of professionally accredited courses and links with over 300 industry partners, we have the highest proportion of undergraduate level graduates in highly skilled occupations (83%) compared to other Scottish modern universities - with 91% of our students in employment or further study within fifteen months of graduating (HESA 2023). We are Scotland's leading provider of Graduate Apprenticeships and we have transnational partnerships around the world, supporting more than 22,000 students from nearly 120 countries. We are committed to widening participation, helping more people from diverse backgrounds into university.



Guided by our values - integrity, responsibility, creativity and confidence - we transform the lives of the people and communities we serve.



To support our continuing growth, The Glasgow School for Business and Society (GSBS) and its Department of Finance, Accounting, and Risk (FAR) is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Accounting with Finance, Business Analytics and AI specialisation. The post will be responsible for delivering high-quality education, conducting research, and developing curriculum that links traditional accounting and finance practices with emerging technological capabilities. This role combines expertise in accounting and finance fundamentals with advanced analytical methods and artificial intelligence applications for business contexts. It is intended to support FAR to deepen its research and teaching capability in applied business analytics and AI. The ideal person will have a strong commitment to using data analysis to support decision making in accounting, finance, and business.


Applicants must possess a PhD or PhD near completion or equivalent higher qualification. Applicants must possess relevant qualifications in the subject area and have demonstrated experience of teaching to the wider academic or professional community, working as part of a team and have the potential for an emergent research profile in an area consistent with the strategic direction of the Department. Relevant industry experience would be looked upon favourably and the post could suit an individual with an extensive industry background able to demonstrate the potential for excellent teaching and research as well as an ability to extend our academic collaborations within accounting, finance and business sectors.



A higher education teaching qualification and/or Fellow status with AdvanceHE is desirable.
