The newly established Yale-NUS College (www.yale-nus.edu.sg) in Singapore announces the availability of two faculty positions in economics at the rank of associate or full professor level. Applications from advanced assistant professors will also be considered. The field is open.

Yale-NUS College is a collaboration between the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Yale University. It draws on the best elements of liberal arts education to re-imagine the curriculum and collegiate experience for the 21st Century. Yale-NUS College seeks outstanding teacher-scholars who are active researchers, eager to be part of the inaugural faculty, committed to innovative pedagogy and curriculum development, and who enjoy close mentoring of students.
