Full Text of JOE Listing:
The Brandmeyer Center for Applied Economics at the University of Kansas School of Business is seeking to hire an Associate Researcher/Associate Researcher Senior to conduct economic research (and potentially lecture in economics). Traditionally, the Center’s research agenda has focused on research issues relevant for state and local economic policy and state and local economic development. The research agenda has also typically had a Kansas-centric focus, but often includes state-by-state research to help inform that focus. Research areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the (sub-national) economics of: development, education, energy, environmental amenities, health care, regulation, taxation, transportation, and water resources.
The Associate Researcher will report to the Director of the Center for Applied Economics. This is a 12-month, benefits eligible, staff position. The position is contingent on funding. Top consideration will be given to candidates who wish to conduct research as well as supplement the experience by teaching multiple sections of Managerial Economics in the KU School of Business. As an administrative matter, successful candidates wishing to teach will hold concurrent Associate Researcher/Lecturer positions, not to exceed 1.0 FTE and will be full-time benefits eligible.
Positions are scheduled to begin July 2017, but may consider alternative start date. Required qualifications include a Ph.D. degree in economics (or other relevant field); or a Master’s degree plus five years of demonstrated experience in policy-related economic research and outreach/communications activities.
To apply go to https://employment.ku.edu/staff/7988BR. A complete application will include the following: online application, curriculum vitae, three professional references and cover letter demonstrating evidence of research activity and teaching effectiveness.
Review of applications will begin February 14, 2017. KU is an EO/AAE, full policy http://policy.ku.edu/IOA/nondiscrimination.
