Be a part of our story.

The Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics (ACE) at the University of Illinois—Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) invites applications for an open rank, full-time academic year (9-month) teaching position in Financial Planning. The Illinois Financial Planning Program (FPP) is housed within UIUC’s ACE department. FPP is a key engine of growth for UIUC’s College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES). Over the past five years, FPP has nearly doubled in size, growing from a total of 81 majors in Fall 2017 to 157 in Fall 2022. In light of this growth, ACE seeks to hire new teaching faculty to support the program’s continued success. We invite you to join us in building a world-class program and shaping the minds of the next generation of Financial Planners.
