JOE - October 2012

The Department of Economics at Dickinson College invites applications for a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level, beginning Fall 2013. Candidates for the position should have already earned a Ph.D. in economics or be near completion of such a degree. Dickinson College is a liberal arts college where excellence in teaching and research are strongly emphasized, and where innovative, interdisciplinary courses and programs are strongly supported. An interest in interactive pedagogies at the introductory level would be desirable. Teaching experience is required, and demonstrated excellence in teaching and ability to create inclusive learning environments for an increasingly diverse student body will be important characteristics of the successful candidate. Strong quantitative skills and knowledge of heterodox theories are also valued within our Department. Primary teaching responsibilities will include introductory and intermediate level macroeconomics. Ability to offer Econometrics will be highly valued. The teaching load will be five courses per year. Salary and benefits are competitive and commensurate with qualifications.

Dickinson is committed to diversity, and we encourage candidates who will contribute to meeting that goal to apply. Applications from women and minorities are strongly encouraged.

Applications must be submitted online at: http://jobs.dickinson.edu by November 15, 2012. Questions can be sent to the department coordinator, Tammy Evelhoch, evelhoct@dickinson.edu. Candidates should submit a letter of application, a research paper, a curriculum vitae, a graduate transcript, three letters of recommendation, a teaching statement, sample syllabi, teaching evaluations and other evidence of teaching effectiveness. Interviews will be held at the ASSA meetings in San Diego.
