Professor and Miller Technology Chair in Financial Systems

The Barry S. Miller College of Business at the University of Central Florida invites applications for the Miller Technology Endowed Chair in Financial Systems, a 9-month tenured position at the rank of professor. This position is located on the UCF Main Campus with an anticipated start date in Fall 2027.

The central question addressed by this chair is:
How should financial systems evolve to create, allocate, govern, and exchange capital in an increasingly intelligent, digital, and interconnected economy? Technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital platforms, blockchain, embedded finance, and advanced analytics are transforming financial institutions, markets, and organizational decision-making. We seek a scholar whose work advances understanding of financial systems, financial markets, financial institutions, accounting information systems, financial technology, corporate finance, banking, digital assets, financial regulation, or related areas.

This endowed chair is part of a broader investment, five endowed chairs in all, each committed to advancing scholarship and education at the intersection of technology and business transformation. The Miller Chairs are not organized around traditional academic disciplines, but around consequential problems emerging from the intersection of technology, organizations, and markets.

Miller Chairs are intended for scholars whose work has shaped—or has the clear potential to shape—how organizations function in a technology-driven economy. The successful candidate will play a central role in shaping the intellectual direction of the College’s technology-focused initiatives and will contribute to the School of Technology Leadership and Innovation (STLI), a university-wide initiative focused on translating advances in technology into organizational capability, market innovation, and executive practice.
