Assistant or Associate Professor of Economics

The Economics Department of Reed College invites applications from economists who are strongly committed to undergraduate teaching for one tenure-track position, to begin in the fall of 2025. We are searching primarily for a candidate who specializes in at least one of energy economics or urban economics. However, we also have interest in expanding our curriculum in any of the following areas: climate change, crime, education, inequality, justice, and race. Therefore, candidates demonstrating interest in and ability to offer an elective course in one or more of these areas, in addition to their energy and/or urban economics coverage, will be especially attractive.

Appointed faculty will teach five one-semester courses, including both advanced undergraduate courses in their fields and core courses. Faculty also advise several year-long senior thesis projects each year. To apply for this position, send a detailed letter of application describing your interest in teaching, the courses you would most like to teach in an undergraduate liberal arts college, and your research interests. In addition, please send a curriculum vitae, teaching evaluations, a recent research paper, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be submitted.

Reed College is a community that believes that cultural diversity is essential to the excellence of our academic program. In your application materials, please include a description of how, as a scholar, teacher or community member, you would engage and sustain the commitment to diversity and inclusion articulated in Reed College’s diversity statement.
