The Department of Economics and Business at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Economics position beginning August 2022. Our highest priority is for candidates who can teach Principles of Economics, an introductory course that covers microeconomics and macroeconomics, a quantitative methods course for business majors, and upper level electives that appeal to both economics and business majors. We will consider applicants from many subfields in economics, however candidates that complement existing offerings will be prioritized. Our programs aim to develop skills in data analysis and, therefore, applicants should have an empirical research agenda using applied econometric methods. Successful applicants will demonstrate a commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching and a willingness to foster undergraduate research. An active research program is critical. The typical teaching load is five courses per year. Campus-wide responsibilities include advising students and university service.
