Position Summary:
The Department of Economics at Rollins College seeks applications from qualified candidates in the area of applied microeconomics for the position of tenure-track Assistant Professor of Economics, beginning August 2020.

The department welcomes applications from candidates whose teaching interests focus on a combination of two or more fields in the areas of Labor, Income Distribution, Industrial Organization and/or Public Finance. The department is not seeking candidates with expertise in health economics at this time. A commitment to teach all traditional core courses including Statistics is a must. The department expects the ideal candidate to also be attracted to exploring alternative conceptual and ideological perspectives and to contribute to a pluralist economics department and evolving curriculum.

The Economics Department has had several retirements in the last three years. We are now in a position to recruit talented candidates committed to excellence in teaching and research who are enthusiastic to contribute to a dynamic department at a selective liberal arts institution which is committed to professional and career development. The teaching load is three courses a semester, including the core courses in the major, electives, general education courses, and, possibly, teaching in the evening program in the Hamilton Holt School. Candidates must have a PhD in Economics in hand or firmly expected by August 2020 and, demonstrate both excellence in teaching at the instructor level or above, as well as a record of scholarship.

Rollins College is a comprehensive liberal arts college located just north of Orlando, FL, a diverse metropolitan community with a thriving economic and cultural scene. Nearby Orlando International Airport provides easy access to U.S. and international destinations. The college emphasizes innovative and quality teaching in small classes, and ranks number one among 121 Southern master’s-level universities in the annual rankings of “America’s Best Colleges,” released by U.S. News & World Report.

Rollins seeks to foster and to model a campus environment that is welcoming, safe, and inclusive to all of our administrators, faculty, staff, and students. We view differences (e.g. nationality, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, physical ability, learning styles, perspectives, etc.) not as obstacles to be overcome but as rich opportunities for understanding, learning, and growth.

Through its mission, Rollins College is firmly committed to creating a just community that embraces multiculturalism; persons from historically under-represented minority groups are therefore encouraged to apply.
