Weber State University is a public, open enrollment, urban university located 35 miles north of Salt Lake City at the base of the Wasatch Mountains. The University has a total Fall 2012 enrollment of over 24,000 students who are predominantly from the five-county Northern Utah region. However, a high percentage of economics majors are currently international students. WSU has recently made a concerted effort to emphasize both undergraduate research and community engagement.

These positions offer a competitive salary and 3/3 teaching load, as well as research support. Teaching responsibilities will include upper- and lower level economics courses, as well as quantitative methods courses in business statistics and/or business calculus.

A Ph.D. in economics by July 1, 2013 is required.
