Dr William Klubinski

Assistant Professor

Department: Newcastle Business School

With over 10 years of full-time experience in a corporate setting, I have held roles as a Senior Data Analyst (Fin Crime), Manager/Data Analytics Subject Matter Expert (Fin Crime), and Director/Data Scientist, demonstrating a strong foundation in data analysis and strategy.

Since August 2021, I have been working with  Northumbria University, where I teach a variety of accounting and finance-related modules. My work extends into research, focusing on the intersection of finance, behavioural psychology, criminality, and group differences, showcasing my commitment to interdisciplinary study. I hold a PhD in Finance (Essex University), an MSc in Accounting, Finance, and Strategic Investments (Newcastle University Business School), and a BA (Hons) in Business and Finance Management (University of Sunderland). I have also achieved the Fellowship in Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

  • Causal Inference
  • Performance of Fund Managers
  • Group Differences
  • Non/Statistical Discrimination

My research explores how stereotypes and perceptions influence the dynamics of the financial sector, with a particular focus on fund management - including mutual funds, hedge funds, and individual financial managers. I investigate how factors such as ethnicity, race, gender, and other individual characteristics may intersect with financial decision-making, career progression, and broader industry practices.
