Full Text of JOE Listing:


The Department of Economics at St. Olaf College seeks a full-time, tenure track economist specializing in applied econometrics, to begin August 2021. This new colleague will teach intermediate and advanced econometrics courses, introductory economics, and will contribute to the curriculum of the department by offering economics electives as well as introductory courses in the field. While teaching and research in macroeconomics is an advantage, all candidates with specializations in applied econometrics are welcome. Teaching and research interests in fields such as income distribution and poverty, the economics of race and gender, or urban economics are highly desired.

A Ph.D. in economics with specialization in econometrics is required. Candidates who expect to complete the Ph.D. by September 1, 2021, will receive full consideration.

The department is particularly interested in applicants who can and will advance the College's goals for diversity, equity and inclusion. We request that in the letter of application, candidates address their potential to contribute to the St. Olaf community that maintains a diversity of people and perspectives as one of its core values. We strongly encourage applications from members of underrepresented groups in accordance with our equity goals.
