Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Economics and Finance Department at Saint Peter's University, the Jesuit University of New Jersey, invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor, starting in fall 2019. We invite applications from candidates who share our commitment to educating students to excel intellectually, lead ethically, serve compassionately and promote justice in our ever-changing urban and global environment.

The successful candidate will provide evidence of effective teaching and scholarship in the areas of finance, quantitative methods, microeconomics and macroeconomics. The position involves teaching at both the undergraduate and masters levels as well as participation in departmental activities, including student advising and extracurricular programming. A Ph.D.in economics is preferred, with a concentration in finance (though ABD candidates will be considered). The successful candidate will teach a 4/4 load.

[Saint Peter's University is especially interested in recruiting scholars who can contribute to the university community's desire to increase its diversity, and ensure that faculty, students, and staff members from underrepresented and marginalized populations are an integral part of the life and governance of the institution.]

Primary duties will include:

- teaching required and elective courses in the undergraduate major and masters programs.

- participating in departmental activities (meetings, student advising, and university/community related functions and programming).

Interested candidates should send a cover letter (describing how they meet the requirements of the position), curriculum vitae, philosophy of teaching statement, diversity statement, and graduate transcripts electronically to hrdept@saintpeters.edu with the subject heading: Tenure-Track Economics Specialist Search. As part of their job applications, candidates should write the names and email addresses of the three people who will recommend them. The Human Resources Department will then reach out to them.
