Applications are invited from qualified individuals for a full-time 2-year term Lecturer or Instructor appointment with the Department of Accounting at the Edwards School of Business in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2026. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated passion for and experience in teaching accounting at the undergraduate level in a post-secondary institution in Canada and are willing to work in a collaborative, collegial environment where teaching expertise is highly valued.

The University of Saskatchewan’s main campus is situated on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis. The University of Saskatchewan is located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, a city with a diverse and thriving economic base, a vibrant arts community and a full range of leisure opportunities. The University has a reputation for excellence in teaching, research and scholarly activities and offers a full range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. The University of Saskatchewan has a rich history in accounting scholarship evidenced by its offering of the first accounting degree in Canada and currently offers three accounting programs: Master of Professional Accounting, Bachelor of Commerce with a major in Accounting, and Certificate in Accounting for Decision Making.

Consistent with its goal of sustaining business school accreditation (AACSB), the Edwards School of Business will recruit those individuals whose academic training and/or professional activities clearly align with our accreditation standards. Successful candidates will be expected to continue to maintain their faculty qualification accreditation status.

A Canadian Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation as well as a graduate degree in business, preferably accounting, is required for appointments at the rank of Lecturer. Prior teaching experience at the post-secondary/professional level is highly desirable. Candidates without a graduate degree in business but with a Canadian CPA designation and significant professional and/or teaching experience will also be considered and, if successful, will be appointed at the rank of Instructor.

The Department is seeking candidates to teach in its undergraduate program, and potentially in its graduate programs (MPAcc and MBA). The successful applicants will thus possess strong comprehensive technical in-depth knowledge of accounting concepts and standards as well as demonstrable effective communication skills. The teaching load will be up to 30 credit hours of courses per academic year (10 courses at 3 credit hours per course). Teaching responsibilities will commence with courses scheduled for September 2026. Other responsibilities may include, but not limited to, educational leadership, coaching/judging case competitions, participating in department initiatives, representing the department both internally and externally, and administrative service in the department and college.
