Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), founded in 1997 as a stand-alone national graduate university focused on policy studies, aims to cultivate public policy leaders and professionals who will play key roles in democratic governance. We are international in our faculty, our student body and our outlook. We seek candidates for two positions to start in Fall 2019 (exact timing is negotiable). We expect one appointment to be in Public Finance and one person must be able and willing to teach microeconomic theory.

We are interested in scholars who are conducting research in applied economics fields and can teach graduate students in public policy, most of whom are mid-career public administrators from a variety of countries. We will consider highly-qualified candidates who can show a record or promise of scholarly productivity and publications in high-quality academic journals. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Economics or one firmly expected by August 2019.

Appointees will be required to teach 6 to 8 units (3-4 half courses, each offered for 15 weeks) per year in English and supervise masters and Ph.D. students. An appointee is also expected to conduct high level research, contribute administratively, and compete for external funds.
