Denison values faculty who are successful and effective teachers, who develop active and productive research programs, and who are involved in the life of the college. The Economics Department has thirteen faculty members who appreciate diverse approaches to economics. Denison has a 3/2 teaching load. We will begin reviewing applications on November 1, 2019 and will continue to accept applications until the position is filled. We will interview prospective candidates at the ASSA meetings in San Diego, January 3-5, 2020. Candidates with a PhD (economics) or who are ABD will be considered, as long as the PhD is completed within one year of the start date.
