Other research interests of applicants can be accommodated. The ideal candidate would normally be expected to hold a PhD degree recently (within one year from the start day) in an accounting, finance, economics or related social science discipline from a leading university. A PhD degree with high quality thesis is essential as is a record of research publication.
