Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Department of Economics at Occidental College invites applications for a tenured position at the Associate rank (or a tenure-track position at the Advanced Assistant rank), beginning August 2026. We have a preference for hiring at the Associate rank, but will consider strong applications from candidates at an advanced Assistant rank. Upon promotion to Full Professor, the hire will be eligible for the Woody Studenmund named professorship. We are especially interested in candidates with expertise in business administration, financial economics, entrepreneurship, or regulation and business law.

Occidental College is a nationally recognized liberal arts college known for its diverse student body, commitment to academic excellence and equity, and strong undergraduate research programs. Candidates must demonstrate excellence in teaching and maintain an active program of scholarly research. The teaching load is five courses annually (four courses in the first year), and may include first-year writing seminars, managerial economics, personnel economics, financial economics, or other upper-division electives aligned with the candidate’s expertise. We value interdisciplinary collaboration and expect faculty to contribute to departmental development, advise students, engage in college governance, and participate in the broader academic community, such as working with the Blyth Fund, the Oxypreneurship Club, and the Hameetman Career Center. Faculty are eligible for a research sabbatical every four years.
