Full Text of JOE Listing:
New College of Florida invites applications for a tenure-track position specializing in Financial Economics. We strongly prefer broadly trained candidates who are interested in teaching finance in a multidisciplinary and pluralistic setting. The successful candidate will teach Investment Analysis and Derivatives, as well as elective courses in their specialty. Additional course offerings in the field of applied financial economics and financial management are particularly welcomed. We are open to applications from mid-career professionals from the financial industry who hold a suitable PhD and are eager to make the transition to academia in a liberal arts college.
Teaching and Scholarship Expectations
The teaching load is two courses per semester plus sponsoring tutorials and undergraduate theses or senior’s projects. In addition to classes, tutorials, theses (or senior’s projects), faculty members may supervise independent study projects. The successful candidate is expected to maintain a program of research by publishing in peer-reviewed journals. Scholarship that advances pedagogy and mastery of the literature in one’s specialty is particularly welcomed. The economics program at New College does not count op-ed pieces as scholarship, but as services to the greater community.
Qualifications
• Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Economics or Financial Economics; or they may be ABDs with dissertation defense plans before the starting date of the appointment.
• Excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level.
