Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Department of Economics at Wright State University seeks applications for a tenure-track assistant-professor position, to begin in August, 2017. Because of teaching needs, the department requires training in at least one of urban/regional economics, time-series econometrics, forecasting, or cost-benefit analysis. Training in more than one of these fields is preferred. Knowledge of industrial organization, demographic economics, or history of thought is also useful. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated potential for excellence in scholarship and teaching. Applicants must possess a Ph.D. in economics or the equivalent by August 1, 2017.

Scholarship and teaching are valued equally, while service expectations for assistant professors are minimal, primarily participation in department governance. The standard teaching responsibility is five three-credit-hour courses per year (semesters). The successful applicant is expected to teach at the undergraduate and master's levels, including principles. In terms of scholarship, the department welcomes all perspectives. Compensation will be commensurate with norms for AACSB-accredited business schools.

Wright State University is an equal-opportunity/affirmative-action employer. It is committed to an inclusive environment and strongly encourages applications from minorities, females, veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
