Tips for Your Finance Professor Job Search
Tailor your research agenda to the posting
Finance departments hire around specific gaps, whether derivatives modeling, behavioral finance, or FinTech regulation. Read each posting carefully and reorder your CV's research section so the work closest to their needs appears first, not your earliest publications.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists finance professor openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a job market paper for every application
Hiring committees expect a single polished paper that demonstrates your best empirical or theoretical contribution. Make sure it's fully written, not a draft, and that your abstract answers what question you solve and why it matters to the field.
Align your teaching statement with course coverage gaps
Departments often need coverage in derivatives, fixed income, or quantitative methods. Check the course catalog of every school you apply to and write a teaching statement that explicitly names the courses you're ready to deliver, not just your general philosophy.
Treat the job talk as a research seminar, not a defense
Faculty on hiring committees are evaluating whether you can hold a room of skeptical economists for 75 minutes. Anticipate methodological objections, practice fielding them without deflecting, and rehearse your talk in front of peers who will push back hard.
Negotiate startup funds and course load before accepting
Salary is only part of the offer. Data access, research assistant funding, course releases in your first two years, and conference travel budgets all directly affect your tenure timeline, so ask about each line item before you sign.
Finance Professor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most finance professors?
The companies hiring the most finance professors right now include Brink's, Incorporated, Collabera, and Intuit, with the largest share of openings in Texas, Nevada, and Michigan, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Business schools at large public research universities tend to post the highest volume of openings each cycle.
How many finance professor jobs are remote?
About 14% of finance professor openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, which is lower than in many other professional fields given the expectation of in-person teaching and faculty governance. Online and continuing-education programs are the sub-area where fully remote arrangements are most common.
How do you become a finance professor?
Becoming a finance professor typically starts with completing a PhD in Finance or Economics, during which you develop a research agenda and produce a job market paper. You then enter the academic job market, apply to posted positions, present your research in a job talk, and if hired, progress through a tenure-track review process that evaluates research output, teaching, and service over several years.
Can you get a finance professor job with little or no teaching experience?
Yes, newly minted PhDs regularly get hired into tenure-track roles with minimal formal teaching experience. Committees at research-focused universities weight the job market paper heavily and accept teaching assistant roles as sufficient evidence of classroom readiness. Professionally focused schools and teaching-intensive institutions expect more demonstrated experience, so identifying which type of program you're applying to shapes how you frame your candidacy.
What does the finance professor interview process look like?
The process typically begins with a screening interview at a major finance conference or via video call, where faculty assess your research agenda and fit. Candidates who advance receive a campus visit that includes a job talk presenting your research paper, one-on-one meetings with faculty and the dean, and often a teaching demonstration. The full process from initial application to offer commonly runs several months.
Where can I find and apply to finance professor jobs?
You can find and apply to finance professor jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from universities and business schools across the United States. Find roles that match your research focus and teaching background, then apply directly to each listing.
