The Wesleyan University Economics Department invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professorship to begin July 1, 2023 from scholars with research interests in law and economics. Candidates will be expected to contribute to the Department's introductory and core programs and offer elective courses in their area of expertise. The teaching load is four courses per year. Additional duties include carrying on a program of research, advising and mentoring students, and participating in faculty governance at the departmental and university level.
