Full Text of JOE Listing:

The University of Missouri-Kansas City Economics Department announces a tenure-track position at an initial rank of Assistant Professor. “Early” promotion and tenure is possible, depending on existing years of experience and scholarly record. We thus encourage applicants with experience at all levels. We are interested in candidates whose work complements the department’s existing pluralistic orientation. Preference will be given to applicants whose primary field is post-Keynesian macroeconomics (specifically capability in modern money theory). This position requires a Ph.D. completed by September 1, 2016, and is subject to University funding and approval. Teaching opportunities are available at all levels. We value candidates who possess a strong commitment to improving access to higher education for historically underrepresented students.

Representatives of the Department will attend the 2016 meetings of the American Economic Association. A cover letter, vitae, short sample of scholarly work, transcript(s), statement of teaching philosophy should be submitted in one PDF document at www.umkc.edu/jobs. Three letters of recommendation should be submitted to taylorkath@umkc.edu.

Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
