The Political Economy Program at the University of California, Berkeley seeks a tenure-track assistant professor for a position 50% in Political Economy and 50% in a related discipline.

Preferred qualifications: Past research record and/or future research plans for research in interdisciplinary political economy; past teaching record and/or future teaching plans for teaching courses in interdisciplinary political economy; a commitment to the mission of developing the best possible interdisciplinary political economy program for scholarly research, undergraduate teaching, and graduate teaching. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, or protected veteran status.

Salary range: The current 9-month academic year salary range for the Assistant Professor position is $84,100–$132,900.

However, off-scale salary and other components of pay, which may yield compensation higher than these ranges, are offered when necessary to meet competitive conditions.
