The Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics in the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University welcomes applications for an assistant/associate professor position in the area of global economic modeling and integrated assessment. Economic modeling approaches of particular interest include dynamic optimization and computable general equilibrium modeling, as well as familiarity with approaches for handling decision making under uncertainty. A full position description can be found at: http://aede.osu.edu/about-us/open-faculty-positions.

The appointee will have an academic year (9 month) appointment with competitive salary and benefits package and is expected to develop and maintain a world-class research program in their field of inquiry, and teach the equivalent of three classes in our undergraduate, masters, and/or PhD programs.

This position is part of a cluster of four new hires in the department focused on sustainable resource management in the 21st century. The position is partially funded by a Discovery Theme Initiative (discovery.osu.edu) at Ohio State University, a significant faculty hiring investment in key thematic areas in which the university can build on its culture of academic collaboration to make a global impact.

Applicants must possess a PhD in economics, applied economics or a related field, or expect to complete all degree requirements before August 1, 2016. Individuals who have interest or experience in developing or working in collaborative research teams, as well as experience with University teaching and mentoring members of underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled, but those received before December 1, 2015 will receive priority consideration. Complete applications include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, a writing sample and three letters of recommendation. Applications should be submitted through EconJobMarket: https://econjobmarket.org/AdDetails.php?posid=3312.
