An important (albeit unofficial) source of information about job openings is word of mouth. Be sure to tap into your network to find potential openings.

The most comprehensive listing of job openings for accounting professors is on AAA's Placement Center. Currently, the AAA is revamping its placement center website and will soon host its placement resource on a new page.

SSRN also maintains current professional job listings on its website.

In addition, you can find job postings at the Chronicle's Careers site. The Chronicle of Higher Education is an online source for news, information, and jobs for faculty members and administrators. Most of the jobs listed here are more teaching focused.

Higheredjobs.com has a long list of open accounting faculty positions. Most of the jobs listed here are more teaching focused.

Notice: Not all schools that are planning on interviewing (or hiring) post an ad with the AAA or SSRN. Therefore, my advice to any rookie going on the market is to send a packet to any school you are interested in, even if you don't see a formal job announcement for the position. (The incremental cost of sending out an extra packet is nil...but the potential reward is great.)
