Position Description

Those who are currently at the rank of Assistant Professor are eligible to apply, provided that their teaching and research profile is sufficient for an initial appointment as Associate Professor.
The successful candidate will be expected to serve the Tyndale community through committee assignments, to regularly engage in scholarly research, and to teach a 3/3 course load across two 13-week semesters. Endowment funds can be used to buy down the course load to provide greater research and program development opportunities for the chairholder. This position will involve providing leadership to the Business program, developing relationships with local businesses, and teaching introductory and upper-level courses in his or her area of expertise that serve the BBA and BA Business programs. Applicants should have strong commitment to the liberal arts, faith integration, and student transformation.
Minimum qualifications:
(1) PhD or DBA in an area related to business (e.g., Marketing, Finance, Accounting, etc.); (2) a demonstrated ability to provide leadership and entrepreneurial insight; (3) evidence of capacity for scholarly research; (4) a demonstrated commitment to the integration of faith and learning. Candidates with a Master’s degree and significant business experience, or those with terminal degrees in areas closely related to business, will also be considered.

Interested applicants should submit three separate PDFS:
- a cover letter outlining their interest and qualifications for the position;
- a CV with contact information for three references;
- a short (approximately 300-500 words) essay describing their Christian faith.
Additional documents may be requested once the initial screening is complete. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. While all qualified candidates will be considered, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. The successful candidate will agree to Tyndale University’s Statement of Faith and Community Standards Statement.
This position is scheduled to begin July 1, 2026. Questions about this position can be addressed to Dr. Paul Franks, VP Academic and Dean of Undergraduate Studies, at pfranks@tyndale.ca.
