Middlebury College

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Economics Department seeks to appoint its first Jones Fellow in Applied Economics, a named junior professorship, beginning in September 2016. The Jones Fellow will teach and conduct research on the design and performance of economic policies, both past and present. There is some preference for scholars who work on policies with either a national or international scope – traditional macroeconomic policies, for example, especially monetary and financial policies – but the terms are broad enough to include scholars interested, or with experience in, the implementation of other sorts of policies.

The appointment will be made at the assistant or advanced assistant professor level. Candidates must demonstrate commitment to research and teaching excellence with a strong policy focus in a liberal arts environment.

Middlebury College is a top-tier liberal arts college with a demonstrated commitment to excellence in faculty teaching and research. An Equal Opportunity Employer, the College is committed to hiring a diverse faculty as we work to foster innovation in our curriculum and to provide a rich and varied educational experience to our increasingly diverse student body.
