Smith School of Business at Queen's University

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Smith School of Business at Queen’s University invites applications for up to two Postdoctoral Fellow in Business Economics (PDFBE) positions in the Business Economics unit. Each appointment will last for two academic years.
We are particularly interested in applicants with research interests in industrial organization and organizational economics, but other fields of applied microeconomics are encouraged to apply. The PDFBE will work under the supervision of Dr. Ricard Gil and Dr. Henry Schneider.
The PDFBE will be expected to live in Kingston and fully participate in the academic life of the Business Economics unit, the Smith School of Business, and Queen’s University. The PDFBE is expected to be independently motivated to execute high-quality research and to collaborate in developing research ideas with faculty. The PDFBE is also expected to teach in the undergraduate Commerce program, but with an efficient schedule that compresses any teaching into one term with limited preparations. There is also potential to teach graduate courses if interested.

The successful candidate should have recently completed or be nearing completion of a PhD in economics, business economics, quantitative marketing, or a related field. ABD candidates must complete their PhD within one year of the start of their appointment.
The main criteria for selection are research and teaching excellence. A candidates’ potential contribution and commitment to EDII (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Indigeneity) at the School will also be considered.

The University invites applications from all qualified individuals. Queen's is strongly committed to employment equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace and encourages applications from Black, racialized/visible minority and Indigenous/Aboriginal people, women, persons with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQ+ persons. In accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority. However, all interested candidates are encouraged to apply.

The University will provide support in its recruitment processes to applicants with disabilities, including accommodation that considers an applicant’s accessibility needs. If you require accommodation during the interview process, please contact: Brittany Lovelock at brittany.lovelock@queensu.ca. Academic staff at Queen’s University are governed by a Collective Agreement between the University and PSAC 901, which is posted at https://www.queensu.ca/facultyrelations/psac%20901-1/collective-agreements/MoAs/LoUs.
