Posting Details
Job ID: 182504
Rank: Assistant/Associate/Full Professor
College/School: Chicago, IL - Driehaus College of Business
Position Description:
The Department of Finance and Real Estate in the Driehaus College of Business at DePaul University invites applications for a tenure-line faculty position in finance in all areas of specialty and at all ranks (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor). Candidates meeting criteria will also be considered for the Scholl Endowed Chair in Finance if the rank is Associate Professor or Professor.
Located in the center of Chicago's downtown, DePaul’s Driehaus College of Business immerses students in one of the world’s great business centers to provide transformative, hands-on educational experiences. Enrolling over 5,400 students, Driehaus’s undergraduate and graduate programs are highly ranked and nationally recognized. Founded in 1912, Driehaus was among the first 10 business colleges in the United States and the first at an American Catholic university. The Driehaus mission is to empower students to become socially responsible leaders who make an impact in their communities. Guided by our Catholic and Vincentian values and aided by our deep roots in the City of Chicago, we deliver a cutting-edge business education, generate pathbreaking research, and collaborate closely with our community and industry partners to drive positive social outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Deliver high-quality undergraduate and graduate courses in the various areas of finance.
- Develop and maintain an active research agenda that results in quality journal publications.
- Collaborate with colleagues and actively contribute to the intellectual life of the department.
- Participate in service activities at all levels (departmental, college, and university-level).
- Contribute to the support of the department's student recruitment and retention efforts.
- Contribute to the overall success of the department and college by participating in workshops, events, and other relevant activities.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Finance, Economics, or a related field.

Interested candidates should submit

- Curriculum Vitae

Considerations:
A candidate hired at the rank of Associate or Professor may also be appointed as the Scholl Endowed Chair. Appointment as the Scholl Endowed Chair carries an academic year stipend ranging from $40,000 - $75,000 for each year the incumbent serves as the endowed chair. The length of term is five years, and upon expiration of the first term, a review will follow, where it may be renewed for another three years. There is no limit on the total number of renewal periods an incumbent may seek. In addition, the holder of the endowed chair would receive four course releases per year while serving as the endowed chair. Should an incumbent cease to serve as the endowed chair, by election or administrative decision, the teaching load would recalibrate to the College’s research productivity level.
Assistant level hires will not be considered for the endowed chair.

Search Education Jobs in IllinoisEducation TN Sponsorship Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
Which education employers in Illinois are known to sponsor TN visas?
Large research universities such as the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois system regularly file TN-supported positions for Canadian and Mexican professionals. Community college districts, private K-12 networks, and education technology companies headquartered in Chicago also appear in Department of Labor disclosure data as active sponsors. Sponsorship activity is never guaranteed, so confirming with each employer directly remains important.
Which cities in Illinois have the most education TN sponsorship jobs?
Chicago accounts for the largest share, driven by its concentration of universities, community colleges, and ed-tech companies. Evanston is notable for Northwestern University, while Champaign-Urbana anchors the University of Illinois flagship campus. Springfield and Peoria have smaller but active education markets, primarily through public school districts and regional colleges. For Canadian and Mexican professionals, Chicago offers the broadest range of TN-eligible education roles.
What types of education roles typically qualify for TN sponsorship in Illinois?
TN visa eligibility in education applies to specific professional categories defined by USMCA, most commonly college and university faculty, scientific researchers, and curriculum specialists where the role requires a qualifying degree in a directly related field. Classroom teachers at the K-12 level can qualify under the 'Teacher' USMCA category provided they hold a baccalaureate degree and a relevant teaching credential. Administrative and general support roles typically do not qualify under TN categories.
How do I find education TN sponsorship jobs in Illinois?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search, letting you filter by visa type, state, and industry to surface education roles in Illinois where employers have indicated TN sponsorship willingness. Because TN sponsorship for education varies significantly by institution and role type, filtering to Illinois-specific education postings on Migrate Mate saves considerable time compared to manually reviewing employer career pages. Creating a profile also helps match you to relevant new postings as they appear.
Are there Illinois-specific considerations for pursuing TN sponsorship in education?
Illinois public school districts are governed by the Illinois State Board of Education, which sets licensure requirements that run parallel to federal immigration requirements. A TN visa does not substitute for state teaching licensure, so Canadian and Mexican educators pursuing K-12 roles need to confirm both immigration eligibility and Illinois licensure concurrently. For higher education, Illinois institutions with strong international faculty pipelines tend to be more familiar with TN documentation requirements, which can streamline the offer and onboarding process.
