The Department of Economics and Business invites applications for a one-year Visiting Assistant Professor position beginning fall 2019. Candidates with teaching experience in courses that would be of interest to our business majors are encouraged to apply. Prior teaching experience is highly desirable. Normal teaching load is two courses each term, with three terms per year. At least a master’s degree in a business-related subject preferred. Candidates must demonstrate a genuine desire to teach and participate fully in a liberal arts environment that emphasizes close student-faculty interaction. Kalamazoo College has made a commitment to inclusive excellence. We especially encourage applications from candidates whose intellectual and pedagogical approaches to the discipline will be effective in attracting and retaining historically underrepresented students. The successful applicant will demonstrate a strong commitment to working with students, faculty and staff from diverse social, cultural, and economic backgrounds. The departmental website can be viewed at: http://www.kzoo.edu/econ.

Review of completed applications will begin April 15, 2019, and will continue until the position is filled. Applications should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching experience and philosophy, a statement addressing experience working with underrepresented students and pedagogical ways to create an inclusive classroom, and undergraduate and graduate transcripts (unofficial is acceptable). All application materials, exclusive of transcripts and letters of recommendation, should be submitted as a single PDF file at https://www.kzoo.edu/search/economics/. Please arrange to have three confidential letters of recommendation addressed to Dr. Hannah Apps, Department of Economics and Business, sent to EconomicsSearch@kzoo.edu using the applicant’s name as the subject line: lastname_firstname.

Kalamazoo College encourages candidates who will contribute to the cultural diversity of the College to apply and to identify themselves if they wish. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
