Developing models for corporate outreach to expand curricular offerings. In participation with departmental and college leadership, the faculty member will present to corporate audiences our economic programs, as well as be involved in the college’s Corporate Education Opportunities programs.

Continuing to develop and innovate certificate programs offered by the Economics Department. The faculty member will provide input on curriculum and new course development to ensure the delivery of quality programs.

A PhD is preferred, but candidates with a Master’s degree and significant industry experience will also be considered.

Fields include Applied Microeconomics, Data Analytics, Industrial Organization, and Econometrics. Managerial experience in the health industry a plus.
