Full Text of JOE Listing:

Hobart and William Smith Colleges invite applications for a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level anticipated for fall 2016; Ph.D. required at time of hire. The position is for a specialization in macroeconomics--with an emphasis in the macro aspects of international trade (especially open-economy macro) or urban economics--in addition to teaching undergraduate-level statistics and/or econometrics. Teaching responsibilities for five courses per year would typically be two sections of intermediate macroeconomics; one section of principles of economic or statistics or econometrics; and one or two elective courses. One of the five courses could also be in the Colleges’ interdisciplinary programs or general education areas.

Founded as Hobart College for men and William Smith College for women, Hobart and William Smith Colleges today are a highly selective, residential liberal arts institution with a single administration, faculty and curriculum but separate dean’s offices, student governments, athletic programs and traditions. The Colleges are located in a small, diverse city in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. With an enrollment of approximately 2,200, the Colleges offer 62 different majors and minors from which students choose two areas of concentration, one of which must be an interdisciplinary program. Creative and extensive programs of international study and public service are also at the core of the Colleges’ mission.

Hobart and William Smith Colleges are committed to attracting and supporting a faculty of women and men that fully represent the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of the nation and actively seek applications from under-represented groups. The Colleges do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, age, disability, veteran's status, sexual orientation or any other protected status.

Applications must be received by November 15th, 2015, to be guaranteed full consideration but will be accepted until the position is filled. Interviews will be conducted at the Allied Social Science Associations meetings in San Francisco in January, 2016. Please contact Ms. Cindy Warren (cwarren@hws.edu), Department Coordinator (Economics), if there are any questions.
