The School of Business in the Faculty of Education and Professional Studies at Nipissing University invites applications for a Tenure-Track Assistant or Associate Professor position in Finance. This position will commence on July 1, 2025, in North Bay, Ontario.

The School of Business is one of six schools within the Faculty of Education & Professional Studies. As one of the most dynamic academic units at Nipissing University, the School offers a wide array of undergraduate certificates, diplomas, and degree programs (B. Comm, BBA), as well as Post-Baccalaureate Diplomas in Business. Programs are delivered through both on-campus and distance modes.

The School of Business takes a holistic approach to learning, equipping students with “more than a degree.” Along with core business knowledge, students develop professional and social skills through a combination of theoretical grounding, practical application, real-life experiences, and techniques to enhance independent thinking and problem-solving. This integrated approach provides students with a competitive advantage in the market.

Our flagship Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program includes a Co-op Program, enabling students to alternate academic terms on campus with work terms in suitable employment. This approach fosters the practical application of theoretical knowledge and enriches classroom learning with workplace experience.

The iLEAD Certificate Program offers innovative ways to Learn through Experience, Action, and Discovery while earning credits toward a business degree. Students gain relevant work experience through activities such as directed studies, writing an honours thesis, workplace internships, or studying overseas. This program allows learning to transcend the classroom, honing students’ personal and professional skills and enhancing their prospects for success.
