The Department of Economics in the Robins School of Business at the University of Richmond invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor of Economics to begin in the 2025-26 academic year.

The individual must have a research field in macroeconomics, specializing in monetary or fiscal policy. The course load is five sections of Economics courses for the year, including Principles of Macroeconomics, Intermediate Macroeconomics, and Money, Banking, and Financial Markets (one or two preps each semester) or Public Finance. Applicants should provide evidence of successful teaching experience as a sole instructor, not as a teaching assistant. The Economics Department is ranked #5 in research out of 196 liberal arts colleges in the U.S., according to IDEAS-RePec. Support for junior faculty includes a mid-term research leave and funding for travel and summer research. The University provides a generous parental leave policy.

The University of Richmond is a private university located just a short drive from downtown Richmond, Virginia. Through its five schools and wide array of campus programming, the University combines the best qualities of a small liberal arts college and a large university. With nearly 4,000 students, an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, and more than 90% of traditional undergraduate students living on campus, the University is remarkably student-centered, focused on preparing students “to live lives of purpose, thoughtful inquiry, and responsible leadership in a global and pluralistic society.”

The University of Richmond is committed to developing a diverse workforce and student body, and to modeling an inclusive campus community which values the expression of difference in ways that promote excellence in teaching, learning, personal development, and institutional success. Our academic community strongly encourages applications that are in keeping with this commitment. For more information on the department and its programs, please see robins.richmond.edu/undergraduate/economics/index.html. Review of applications will commence on December 1, 2024, and continue until the position is filled.
