The Department of Economics at Virginia Tech is seeking to fill an open-rank position in the university's collegiate faculty program. The program is an outgrowth of the university's commitment to undergraduate education. Collegiate faculty members have primary duties in curriculum development and instruction, including undergraduate teaching, undergraduate research supervision, and related scholarly activity. The collegiate faculty positions are full-time multi-year appointments (three years for assistant collegiate professors, five years for associate collegiate professors, and seven years for collegiate professors), and the appointments are renewable, with reappointment and/or promotion within the collegiate faculty ranks for qualified individuals. Salary and teaching assignments are commensurate with qualifications and experience.
