The successful candidate will be prepared to teach sections of intermediate political economy of the type grounded in the traditions of Marx and Veblen, and courses in the candidate's field of specialization with preference for economic development. The Department of economics has a distinguished record in hiring diverse faculty, whose courses expose students to a variety of intellectual, racial, ethnic, and cultural perspectives, and we are especially interested in candidates whose teaching and research will contribute to the department's commitment to pluralism, diversity, and academic excellence. By the start date of the position, candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. or be ABD in Economics.
