Full Text of JOE Listing:
The Economics Program at Bard College invites applications for one full-time, tenure-track assistant professor position in applied microeconomics starting in Fall 2016. The candidate’s work should complement the department’s existing pluralistic orientation. Preference will be given to those whose research and teaching fields include labor, education, health, poverty, and/or race. We welcome candidates who are broadly trained and interested in economic policy. The successful candidate will teach in the core curriculum areas as well as in the areas of his or her specialty.
The Bard campus is the home of the Levy Economics Institute and its innovative M.S. program in Economic Theory and Policy. The Levy Institute, which hosts conferences and seminars and publishes research on matters of economic policy, offers opportunities to faculty and students not typically available at an undergraduate college.
Applicants should have an active research agenda and a commitment to quality, innovative undergraduate teaching at a liberal arts college. Contribution to the general education curriculum and engagement with the life of the college are expected. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or expect to complete it by the time of appointment, and demonstrate significant promise of scholarship.
To apply, please send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation, examples of published research and working papers, a statement of research interests, a statement of teaching philosophy and evidence of teaching excellence through Interfolio.com at: http://apply.interfolio.com/32935.
Review of applications will begin on December 7, 2015. For more information on the Economics Program at Bard College, visit http://economics.bard.edu or contact Program Director Pavlina R. Tcherneva, tchernev@bard.edu.
Bard College is an equal opportunity employer and we welcome applications from those who will contribute to our diversity.
