General Information
The Department of Economics and Accounting at the College of the Holy Cross invites applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor specializing in microeconomic theory and/or behavioral economics to begin in August 2025. The successful candidate will teach elective courses related to their research, contribute to teaching core courses, pursue quality scholarship, supervise student research, and be engaged members of the department and College communities.

This position carries a 3-2 teaching load with a research leave prior to tenure review of either a full year at 80% salary or a semester at full salary, and generous sabbatical and fellowship leaves for tenured faculty.

All full-time appointments offer competitive salaries and full benefits. Faculty at the College cultivate a richly diverse academic community, pursue innovative teaching, and create high-impact scholarship.
