Fully Funded PhD Position in Finance and Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Sustainable Finance at Concordia University

Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business in Montreal, Canada, is offering two outstanding academic opportunities in Finance for the 2026 cycle. The first is a fully funded PhD position in Finance, supported by the prestigious Dominic D’Alessandro Prestige PhD Award. This position is supervised by Professors Juliane Proelss and Denis Schweizer, both established faculty members at Concordia. The PhD program is designed for candidates with a strong interest in empirical research and a completed two-year in-person Master’s degree (ideally MSc) with a minimum GPA of 3.5. Applicants must demonstrate English proficiency unless exempt, and provide a CV, statement of purpose, and three letters of reference. Non-commerce applicants may need to complete qualifying courses. The funding package includes a full tuition waiver, CAD 200,000 scholarship over four years, additional teaching funding (~CAD 35,000), and further research income, totaling over CAD 235,000. Interested candidates must contact the supervisors before February 23, 2026, and apply via the official application portal. The second opportunity is a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Sustainable Finance, accompanied by the Volt-Age Research Fellowship. This role focuses on sustainable finance solutions, climate risk, and transition risk assessment for a low-carbon and equitable future. Candidates should have completed or be near completion of a PhD in Finance or a related discipline, with a strong research record and teaching capacity. The position requires research, teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and service to the institution. The application deadline is March 31, 2026, with the appointment expected to start on August 1, 2026.
