Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Economics Department at Bates College, a private, highly selective liberal arts college in Maine, invites applications for two tenure-track positions at the level of Assistant Professor in Economics. A Ph.D. is preferred, but ABD will be considered with Ph.D. required at time of appointment. Each successful candidate must combine teaching and research in their field(s) of specialization with a willingness to regularly teach one or more core courses in our major (Introductory and Intermediate Microeconomic and/or Macroeconomic Theory, Statistics and Econometrics). The annual teaching load is five courses.

The college and the Economics Department are committed to enhancing the diversity of the campus community and the curriculum. We are interested in candidates who can enhance the diversity of perspectives in the department, who are able to contribute to the college’s ongoing commitment to social and cultural diversity and inclusion and who are attentive to the design of inclusive pedagogy. Bates has a strong tradition of interdisciplinary and area studies, thus we seek candidates who can connect with other disciplinary and interdisciplinary efforts at the college.

Review of applications begins immediately and will continue until the positions are filled; however, priority will be given to complete applications received by November 15, 2016. Preliminary interviews will be held at the ASSA meetings in Chicago.

Application materials, including letters of reference, should be submitted electronically in PDF form. Each application shall include a cover letter, curriculum vita, graduate transcripts, a research paper, statements on teaching and research, core course teaching preferences, teaching evaluations, and three letters of reference (at least one of which must specifically address teaching performance and abilities). To be seriously considered, candidates should substantively discuss in their application materials how they design their courses, develop an inclusive climate in the classroom and in other ways support a broad range of social, cultural, and learning differences to ensure that all students thrive in the classroom.

Bates is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. Because the College recognizes that employment decisions often involve two careers, Bates welcomes applications for shared positions. For more information about the College and the Department, please visit the Bates website: www.bates.edu.

Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check.
