Full Text of JOE Listing:
The Department of Economics in the College of Business Administration at the University of Central Florida invites applications for a position at the rank of either assistant or associate professor. The position has been created as a result of a strategic hiring initiative by the college. The successful candidate will be a vital member of a new master’s-level business analytics program. The anticipated start date is August 2019.
Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. by the start of the appointment from a regionally or nationally-accredited institution of higher education in Economics, or a related discipline such as Computer Science or Statistics; graduate coursework in econometrics is a must, while that in applied microeconomics in general and industrial organization in particular is preferred.
In order to be hired at the associate professor rank, candidates must have a record of research productivity and teaching competence commensurate with UCF’s expectations for tenure.
A record of success in teaching business analytics and/or related courses is preferred as is demonstrated versatility in teaching business analytic applications across different business areas—for example, Marketing, Management, and Finance, as well as Sport Business.
Experience in the application of business analytics through some combination of consulting, professional time in business or government and/or similar meaningful activities is desirable.
Consideration of applicants will begin immediately. Applications will be accepted until the position is closed. Please contact Professor Harry J. Paarsch (Harry.Paarsch@ucf.edu) if you have questions about the program in general, or Professor Michael Caputo (MCaputo@ucf.edu) if you have questions about the position in particular.
