For tenure and promotion purposes, the selected candidate will report to the Chair of the Department of Economics. The selected candidate is also expected to interact regularly with the Bower School Dean and faculty to help expand the program to the campus of the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi.
