University of Nevada, Reno

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Department of Economics at the University of Nevada, Reno seeks to hire a non-tenure-track faculty member at the Lecturer or Teaching Assistant Professor level to preferably begin Spring semester, 2026. This is a regular full-time, twelve-month faculty position which is renewable contingent upon funding and good performance.

The successful applicant will teach the introductory course in economics and other lower-division courses in person. The standard load for a lecturer is four course sections per semester, but this teaching load will be substantially reduced because the applicant will also be responsible for the coordination of dual credit economics courses taught in high schools around the state. This will require curriculum design, weekly consultations with high school teachers, and travel to provide site visits that help ensure the quality of courses taught.

Required Qualifications
Lecturer II - Masters degree in Economics or related field and exceptional teaching experience
Teaching Assistant Professor - PhD in Economics or related field and exceptional teaching experience
Documented history of successful teaching at the undergraduate level.

Preferred Qualifications
PhD in Economics
Although scholarly research is not expected, candidates are expected to maintain AACSB qualifications
