The Department of Economics is seeking applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor, commencing January 1, 2024 (negotiable) at the St. John’s campus. In exceptional cases, applicants may be considered for a position at the rank of Associate Professor.
The Department is interested in candidates with a specialization in theoretical or empirical macroeconomics or a related field (e.g., international economics, development economics), and who possess strong potential for research and teaching. Duties shall include teaching at the undergraduate and Master’s levels in these areas, as well as other areas of specialty that the candidate might have and that are consistent with the teaching needs of the Department.
The position normally requires a completed doctoral degree in Economics. A completed earned doctorate is required for the appointee to receive the rank of Assistant Professor and to be in a tenure-track position. If a successful candidate has not completed an earned doctorate, the candidate shall be appointed to a regular term, non-renewable three-year appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor. If the candidate completes all the requirements for the doctorate during the first 24 months of the term appointment, the candidate shall begin a tenure-track appointment following completion of the requirements of the degree.
Letters of application should be sent no later than July 31st 2023.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
