The Department of Economics at Appalachian State University invites applications for one tenure-track position at the Assistant/Associate/Full Professor level to begin Fall 2023. The department welcomes candidates that have or will develop a distinguished research program in any area of economics. The appointee is expected to maintain an active research agenda leading to publications in quality peer-reviewed journals, to provide quality instruction for diverse teaching needs, and to participate in service activities.

Candidates should mention in their cover letter how their interests, experience, education, and knowledge of statistical software link to these teaching needs.

The Department of Economics is committed to fostering an economics profession that is open to all, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, religion, or disability and believes that a diverse profession encourages the highest quality teaching and scholarship. Achieving this goal requires that we foster academic discourse in an intellectual environment that is respectful and collegial for all. The successful candidate will contribute to this goal. Candidates who are ABD will be considered, but a Ph.D. in economics is required by August 2023.

Applicants must submit a complete application consisting of a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a recent working paper, an unofficial copy of their graduate transcript, evidence of teaching effectiveness, three letters of reference, as well as a statement of contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion explaining how their research, teaching, and service activities will contribute to the department’s related goals.

The initial review of applications will begin November 21, 2022 and continue until the position is filled. Initial interviews will be conducted virtually in early January 2023.
