Department of Accountancy, Finance and Economics

Interviews for these posts will take place on 31 May and 01 June 2023

The University of Lincoln is an ambitious institution with high aspirations and a rapidly improving profile that seeks to be a leading UK University. Its strategy is to combine outstanding research with research-engaged teaching and learning, and practice useful to the wider community. The Lincoln International Business School (LIBS), located on the stunning modern campus in the heart of the historic city of Lincoln, is diverse culturally, internationally-minded, and committed to providing an educational experience that enhances employability and enables people and businesses to create successful and responsible futures.

These posts fall within the Department of Accountancy, Finance and Economics (AFE), which deploys around 36 staff to deliver its own set of degree programmes, plus servicing of subjects such as business maths, economics, accounting finance and law across the full spectrum of programmes within LIBS. AFE has recently validated three MSc programmes: Banking and Finance; Economics and Finance; and Economics to build on undergraduate programmes of Banking and Finance; Economics and Finance; Business Economics; and Economics. The team also owns Accountancy and Finance and Business and Finance.

Our strategy is to combine excellent teaching with research and research-engaged teaching and learning, and we are keen to continue our excellent track record in the NSS (with Economics ranked first in the 2020 NSS). The Department has made a significant contribution to the Business School’s REF submission, and we also offer our students the opportunity to take part in the Lincoln Student Managed Investment Fund, which gives them real world investment experience, and is supported by local industry and staff within the Department.
