The Quinlan School of Business at Loyola University Chicago invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Economics position beginning Fall 2027. Early-career scholars and advanced assistant professors are encouraged to apply. A Ph.D. in Economics is required by the appointment date, and the ideal candidate should have expertise in labor economics.

Candidates should demonstrate potential for high-quality research and teaching excellence. Teaching is primarily undergraduate, including labor economics, econometrics, and other courses based on departmental needs. Pre-tenure faculty teach a 2-2 load, which may continue after tenure through sustained research productivity. Faculty may apply for a one-semester research sabbatical following successful mid-tenure review. The approved salary range is $150,000-$170,000.

Guided by Loyola’s Jesuit, Catholic mission, we seek colleagues committed to meaningful impact through scholarship, teaching, and service. Candidates should familiarize themselves with the University’s mission and articulate how their work could advance it.

Interested candidates should review the full job description and apply online at https://www.careers.luc.edu. Requirements include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, job market paper, teaching philosophy statement, and three reference letters. Screening begins immediately; applications submitted before December 11, 2026, receive priority. Preliminary interviews will be conducted via Zoom in early January 2027.
