The Department of Economics invites applications for a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level whose research informs the changing dynamics of work in the 21st century and its implications for income distribution and the precariat.

Of particular interest are scholars whose research connects theory to evidence and to policy. Commensurate with their career stage, candidates should have an excellent and sustained record of research and evidence of potential or demonstrated ability to generate extramural funding. The appointment will begin on July 1, 2019, subject to final budgetary approval. A completed Ph.D. is required by the time of appointment.
