Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Department of Economics and Business at Southwestern University invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor of Economics positions beginning August 2024. Successful candidates will teach our Principles of Economics course, in our First-Year Seminar program, and offer upper-level courses in Economics that would have broad appeal to majors in Business and in Economics. Those may include but are not limited to International Economics, Environmental Economics, and Development. In addition, each candidate needs to speak to their interest in teaching either Intermediate Macroeconomics or Finance. Successful applicants will demonstrate a commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching and a willingness to foster undergraduate research through supervising students on empirical projects as part of independent studies, honors and capstone projects. Candidates are also encouraged to demonstrate their experience or interest in connecting their research and teaching to other disciplines or to our existing interdisciplinary programs. Our programs aim to develop skills in data analysis and, therefore, applicants should have an empirical research agenda using applied econometric methods. An active research program is critical. The typical teaching load is five courses per year. Campus-wide responsibilities include advising students and university service.
