The Economics Division at Babson College invites applications for a tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in International Macroeconomics and Money and Banking. We are looking for candidates who are committed to excellence in teaching, applied research, and service.

Ph.D. in Economics is required, though ABD with a firm completion date by spring 2017 will also be considered. Candidates must have demonstrated evidence of teaching excellence, be ready to teach in an integrated, cross-disciplinary environment, and have an active research agenda, primarily in applied macroeconomics. Particularly welcome are candidates who can bridge the gap between theory and practice, by having meaningful business experience, and who bring global perspectives to their teaching and research.

All candidates will be evaluated based on their potential for meaningful scholarship that will result in publications in recognized refereed journals. Preference will be given to candidates with work experience in international macroeconomics or related areas, a few years of experience at the assistant professor level, a record of scholarly achievement, and a pipeline of forthcoming articles. The new faculty member will be expected to teach macroeconomics in our undergraduate business and MBA programs, with the possibility to teach executive education audiences.

We seek candidates who are eager to engage as educators among a diverse student community.
