The Department of Economics invites applications for a tenure-track position at the assistant professor level beginning Fall 2023.

Outstanding teaching ability and enthusiasm for teaching in a liberal arts environment are essential, as is strong scholarly potential. Ph.D. must be completed by August 2023.

This search is part of a cluster hire focused on Building Inclusive Communities, which seeks to recruit, amplify, connect, and empower teacher-scholars whose work contributes to addressing the grand challenge of building and sustaining inclusive communities. Additional tenure-track faculty positions will be advertised as part of the cluster, with the goal of recruiting a diverse interdisciplinary faculty cohort whose research, experience, and interests will benefit from collaboration and intentional support, including individual and group research startup funding. More information about the cluster may be found at https://www.trinity.edu/directory/departments-offices/academic-affairs/faculty-resources/cluster-hiring.

The teaching load is five courses over two semesters. Faculty are expected to contribute to teaching the First-Year Experience and other courses in Pathways, the University’s interdisciplinary general education program. Salary is very competitive, and there is a one-semester academic leave after the third year.

Trinity University is committed to the value of intentional inclusion. Please provide a brief statement (250-500 words) describing your past efforts as well as your future plans to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in your teaching, research, or other professional activities.
